Pilate page 27 by ric gustafson
Pilate walked back outside with a confused look on his face.
Rabbi Ananias spoke up. " My Prefect, if you let this man go free you are not Caesar's friend".
Caiaphas spoke up. " Anyone who would make himself a king defies Caesar".
Now fearful, Pilate studied the ring on his finger. Tiberius gave him the ring because of his loyalty.
" Crucify him" yelled the crowd.
" Shall I crucify your king?".
" We have no king but Caesar".
Pilate looked over at Jesus. He was bleeding, sweating and weakened physically. " Jesus of Nazareth, do you have anything to say in your defense?".
Jesus was silent.
Pilate shook his head and frowned. It was late morning and he wanted to be done with the entire affair.
