the spear soldier page 11 by ric gustafson
Pilate stared at Jesus. " Will you not speak to me" he said as he drummed his fingers nervously on the table. " Do you not understand that I have authority to release you or to crucify you?".
Jesus looked up. " You could have no power over me unless it had been given you from above".
Pilate, in amazement at his answer, stood up and then walked outside to the growing crowd.
Someone from the crowd yelled " if you release this man, you are not Caesar's friend".
Worried and afraid after hearing that, he had Jesus brought back out.
" Here is your King".
" Crucify".
" Why, what evil has he done?".
" Crucify, Crucify".
" Shall I crucify your King?".
" We have no King but Caesar".
