Flavius Artemis the centurion page 25 by ric Gustafson
Pilate pointed at Flavius. " Take this Jesus into the inner courtyard and scourge him".
" Govenor, I do not disobey orders". His voice hesitated. " But I do not want to be in charge of that task".
Pilate pointed at Maeiminus Rausticius. " Will you perform this task?".
" Yes Govenor".
After a period of time, two soldiers dragged a half dead Jesus back into the Hall.
Pilate was sitting in his Judgment Seat.
Jesus was still wearing his own clothes. Now he was wearing a makeshift crown of thorns that had been roughly put on top of his head.
Flavius could not believe what they had just done to him.
Jesus was propped up. Pilate walked over and then stood next to him.
To the crowd, Pilate pointed at Jesus. " Behold the man".
" Crucify him, Crucify him".
" I find no fault in him". He stared at the crowd. " You crucify him".
The crowd screamed " By our law he ought to die, he made himself the Son of God".
This troubled Pilate. He pointed at Flavius. Jesus was led over to the Judgment Seat.
" Where do you come from?".
