Flavius Artemis the centurion page 18 by ric Gustafson
Flavius closed his tires eyes as he sat outside the small dungeon. He looked over and noticed that his prisoner was sitting in a corner of the cell. After watching the prisoner heal Caiaphas's servant's ear, the centurion was beginning to see him in a different light.
After a while, Flavius was awakened by another of the chief priest's servants. He told him that the Sanhedrin had reconvened upstairs and was waiting for the prisoner.
Flavius bound Jesus's hands but did not tighten the ropes as he had before. He led Jesus upstairs to the hall where he was the night before. He stopped Jesus so he was standing right in front of his accusers.
Someone stood up. " Are you the Christ?".
Jesus stared at his accusers. " If I tell you you will not believe and if I ask you you will not answer or let me go". He stared at the one who accused him. " The Son of Man will sit on the right side of the power of God".
Another accuser stood up. " Are you then the Son of God?".
Jesus looked at his accuser. " You rightly say that I am".
Several people stood up and pointed fingers at Jesus. " What more testimony do we need?".
Caiaphas stood up. " This trial is closed".
He pointed at Flavius. " Take this prisoner to the Govenor Pontius Pilate".
