Flavius Artemis the centurion page 9 by ric Gustafson
" Before we get to the very important matter which is why we are here". Caiaphas motioned to Flavius. " This is Flavius Artemis".
Flavius knelt down before the chief priest and clenched a fist over his heart.
" On recommendation of Pilate and myself". He smiled. " Artemis is now the garrison centurion for the Fortress".
" I give you my complete loyalty" Flavius replied quietly. He stood up and walked over to a side wall.
Caiaphas sat down in his chair. " Let us begin this special council meeting".
One of the priests stood up. " What are we doing, this man is performing many signs".
Another priest banged a fist on the table. " If we let this man continue like this, all men will believe in him".
A third priest stood up. " The Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation".
Caiaphas raised his arm to quiet them. " All of you know nothing at all". He looked around the table. " Nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man die for the people". His voice hesitated. " And that the whole nation not perish".
At that moment, Flavius noticed the tall slender hooded man uncover his face.
" What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?".
