Gratus and Pilate stood in the center of the reception line.
" Approaching are the members of the Sanhedrin".
"The Sanhedrin?".
" They are the ruling senate of the Jews".
Pilate nodded as the men with long beards and wearing large robes approached.
One of the men came forward.
" This is Rabbi Jonathan, Chamber of Priests".
Another man walked forward.
" This is Rabbi Helcias, Treasurer of the Temple".
Another man walked forward.
" This is Joseph Caiaphas, the High Priest".
Later that night, the high priest sought out Pilate. " We hope that the appointment of a new Prefect will not change policies here in Judea".
Pilate grinned.
" I believe that the Romans and Jews can dwell in peace in this land".
