the spear soldier page 15 by ric gustafson
One soldier climbed the ladder and with the others hoisted the crossbeam up. One soldier crossed his legs and forced his feet against the beam. They put an iron nail through each of his feet. The soldier removed the ladder and ropes and now Jesus was hanging by the nails. One soldier now stood guard beneath Jesus.
After a while, the blood from the nail wounds stuck together and Jesus struggled for breath. A soldier put the ladder up again and hammered a placard to the top of the crossbeam. It read in Aramaic, Latin and Greek ' Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews'.
A member of the Sanhedrin standing nearby complained. " He claimed to be the king of the Jews".
The soldier shrugged his shoulders. " Bring that up with the Govenor".
