Flavius Artemis the centurion page 22 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. He stared at Flavius because he wasn't sure what to say next. He knew that this prisoner was no threat. He also knew that there was no truth to the charges". He also knew that he had to please the growing mob outside.
Pilate looked at Jesus. " What is truth?". Before he let him answer, he walked up the steps to the open balcony. He looked out at the hostile crowd. " I find no fault in him".
Many in the crowd shook their fists. " He stirs up the people". Someone shouted. " He teaches all over Judea starting from Galilee".
Pilate gave the crowd a startled look. " Is this man a Galilean?". He clapped his hands.
Flavius heard the clap and ran up the stone steps.
" Centurion, take this prisoner to Herod".
