Pilate 2021 page 5 by ric gustafson
The trip from Egypt to Caesarea was short. Pilate spent the short time working on his Greek language. Caesarea was the Roman capital of Judea. Pilate and Procula were startled by the size of the city. The city was built by Herod the Great. Herod had spent much money on the city.
When their ship docked, Pilate and Procula were escorted to Herod's palace. They were greeted by Valerius Gratus.
" I'm sorry I could not greet you". He coughed. " I have been ill with a recurring fever".
A state reception was held in Pilate's honor.
Later, Pilate had a talk with Joseph Caiaphas.
The next morning, Gratus and his wife left for Rome.
