Flavius Artemis- the centurion page 4 by ric gustafson
" Before we get to the very important matter which is why we are all here" Caiaphas said as he motioned Flavius forward. " This is Flavius Artemis".
Flavius knelt down before Caiaphas and put his clenched fist over his heart.
" On recommendation of Pilate and myself, Artemis is now the garrison centurion for the Fortress".
" I give you my complete loyalty" he replied quietly. He stood up and walked over toward the side wall.
Caiaphas sat down in his chair. " Let us begin this special council meeting".
One of the priests stood up. " What are we doing, this man is performing many signs".
Another priest banged his fist on the table. " If we let this man continue like this, all men will believe in him".
A third priest stood up. " The Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation".
Caiaphas raised his arm to quiet them. " All of you know nothing at all". He looked around the table. " Nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people and that the whole nation not perish".
At that moment, Flavius saw the tall slender man uncover his face.
" What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?".
