Pilate page 11 by ric Gustafson


Pilate was reading a letter from Claudia. She was in Rome taking care of her father.
A centurion walked into the courtyard.
" Cornelius" Pilate replied with a smile. " I hope you have brought me some news".
He sat down in an open chair. " I have Prefect".
" Tell me about this new turmoil up in Galilee".
" Actually Prefect". His voice hesitated. " It is a new prophet".
" Another one!". He shook his head in frustration. " What is his message?".
" Repentence and preparing for the approaching kingdom of God".
" That was the Baptizer's message as well".
" The problem is that the people love this new prophet's message".
Pilate sighed. " Did you find out the name of this new prophet?".
" Yes". The centurion rose to leave. " He comes from Nazareth in Galilee".
Pilate sighed again. " What's his name?".
" His name is Yeshua  or in our language Jesus".
