Flavius Artemis- the centurion page 16 by ric gustafson
The Roman Govenor could not believe what he was hearing.
" My Kingdom is not from here".
Pilate stared at Jesus. " Are you a King?".
" You say rightly that I am a King, for this reason I was born and came into this world". Jesus looked intently at Pilate. " Everyone of the truth hears my voice".
Pilate was silent, looked at Flavius and wasn't sure what to say next. He knew that this prisoner was no threat and that there was no truth to the charges. He also knew that he had to please the growing mob outside. He looked at Jesus. " What is truth?". Before he let the prisoner answer, he walked up the steps to the open balcony. He faced the growing hostile crowd. " I find no fault in him at all".
Many in the crowd shook their fists. " He stirs up the people, teaching all over Judea starting from Galilee".
Pilate stared at the crowd with a startled look. " Is this man a Galilean?". He clapped his hands.
Flavius heard the clap and walked up the stone steps.
" Centurion, take this prisoner to Herod".
