Pilate page 13 by ric gustafson


Pilate and Procula were about to enter Jerusalem. She pointed up the hill. " Look up toward that slope of the Mount of Olives".
He squinted and noticed that throngs of joyous people were on both sides of the road. He noticed that  some of them were holding something in their hands like palm branches. They were rejoicing and excited about something. He found out when they got back to the Antonia Fortress.
" It was that Rabbi from Galilee" said the Tribune. " His name is Jesus".
" So this Rabbi is finally making himself known".
" The people were throwing palm branches ahead of him and shouting praise to the Son of David".
Pilate walked over and looked out the window. " What else has he been doing in the city?".
" Not much my Prefect".
" What exactly has he been doing?".
" He went to the Temple for a while and then left the city with his followers".
" Tribune, keep me informed".
