" Shall I crucify your king?".
" We have no king but Caesar".
At that tense moment, a riot was on Pilate's mind. He quietly walked over and sat down on the stone judgment seat. He clapped his hands and a servant walked over. " Bring me a bowl of water".
The crowd became silent as they watched him wash his hands. " I am not responsible for the death of this man".
" His blood be on us" someone yelled from the crowd. " On us and our children".
Pilate pointed to a nearbye centurion.
Flavius Artemis walked over and then knelt in front of the Govenor.
" Centurion Artemis, I am releasing the prisoner Barrabas" he said quietly. " Execute this Jesus along with the two robbers".
" It shall be done".
" See to it".
