Flavius Artemis- the centurion page 13 by ric gustafson


Judas stood outside the hall. He looked around the corner and saw what was happening. He heard Caiaphas the chief priest condemn the man he had betrayed. Judas began to realize the enormity of what he had done. He had betrayed an innocent man and now he had just been condemned by the Sanhedrin. As he held onto the sack containing the thirty pieces of silver, he knew what he had to do.
After Flavius led Jesus out of the hall, Judas walked in and walked up to Caiaphas.
" I have sinned by betraying innocent blood".
" What is that to us". He pointed a finger at Judas. " You see to it".
Frustrated, Judas threw the sack containing the silver at the chief priest's feet and then stormed out.
Flavius later learned that he had gone and hanged himself.
Caiaphas picked up the sack. " It is not lawful to put this into the treasury because they are the price of blood".
The chief priest and the others decided to use the money to buy the potters field to bury strangers in.
