Mary of Magdala page 5 by ric gustafson
Jared quietly walked down the back street. Men sat in alleyways and dark wineshops. After a while, they came upon a house made of large flat bricks. The front door was cracked and open. He and Eliab walked up to the door.
" Eliab, rush the door and find Mary".
Jared peeked in and saw his daughter tied to a chair. He quietly entered and moved toward his daughter. He heard a movement behind the door and felt something sharp strike his back. He knew that he had been stabbed. He collapsed onto the straw strewn floor.
Eliab ran in and noticed somebody drop something and then run out the door.
Eliab reached down and checked Jared.
Mary screamed in horror. " Is my Abba dead?".
The slave got Mary out of her ropes and then held her tight. " He has lost much blood but he still breathes".
