Pilate page 23 by ric Gustafson
Pilate stared at the crowd. " Is there anyone who can offer evidence in favor of this prisoner?".
No one came forward.
" Again is there anyone who will testify on behalf of this prisoner?".
Rabbi Jonathan spoke up. " My Prefect, this man is a born trouble maker".
" Why do you say that?".
" This man's teachings are stirring up the people in Galilee and spreading all the way here".
" Rabbi, did you say that this prisoner is from Galilee?".
" Yes my Prefect". His voice hesitated. " He came from Nazareth".
Pilate's eyes lit up. " So this prisoner is under the authority of Tetrarch Herod Antipas".
Caiaphas spoke up. " Yes Prefect he is".
Pilate smiled. " Is the Tetrarch in Jerusalem at the moment?".
Caiaphas looked at the others. " Yes Prefect he is".
" I will send the prisoner over to him".
" As you wish, my Prefect".
