Flavius Artemis the centurion page 6 by ric Gustafson
It was a beautiful day in Bethany. The town is on the eastern outskirts of Jerusalem. As evening came, a dinner party was about to begin. Simon, with a smile on his face, had been looking forward to this evening for some time now. With tears in his eyes, he thought about the time that he had that dreadful disease called leprosy. It normally gets worse and then the person is shunned from society. Later, the person dies an agonizing death.
One day, a Rabbi from Galilee named Jesus came and put his hands on him. At that instant, he was completely healed. This dinner party was Simon's way of thanking Jesus for the miracle he did for him.
Later, Jesus and his disciples came to Simon's house. They reclined at a low wooden table. Three friends of Simon's were also there. Their names were Mary, Martha and Lazarus. Simon had asked Martha if she would help with the meal. So far everything was going according to plan.
Then Mary excused herself and walked away.
