Malchus page 6 by ric gustafson
Malchus tried to sneek through the kitchen.
" Malchus".
His master walked in. " Did you reassure the traders earlier?".
" Yes Master, I did".
" There will be a meeting here shortly". He frowned. " I want you to be here".
Later, forty five members of the Sanhedrin gathered. Some were chief priests, some scribes and elders. They sat around a large olive wood table. Sunlight beamed through a balcony opening. Oil lamps lit up the table.
Malchus knew some of those present. He recognized Elias who was in charge of the treasury. He noticed Pelai who was the Temple jailer.
Jonathan tried to hurry up and get to the meeting. All of a sudden, he was stopped by a young man with curly black hair.
" I have information you might be interested in".
Jonathan focused on the young man's face. " Who are you?".
" That is not important right now". His eyes darted around. " I can deliver him to you".
" Deliver whom to us".
The young man stared at Jonathan. " Jesus of Nazareth".
Jonathan scratched his chin. " And how do you know this Jesus?".
" I am a member of his core group".
