Pilate 2021 page 14 by ric gustafson
On both sides of Jesus were Annas, Caiaphas, Helcias and others.
Behind Jesus were Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes and elders.
Pilate stared at Jesus. He was bound, powerless and unkempt.
Pilate turned to the chief priests. " What charge do you bring against this man?".
Ananias stared at Pilate. " If he were not a criminal, we would not have brought him before you".
" Very well then, take him out of this court". Pilate sneered. " Judge him according to your law".
" According to your law". Caiaphas now spoke up. " We are not allowed to put anyone to death".
" What charge do you bring against this man?".
A priest spoke up. " We found this man subverting our nation".
Another priest spoke up. " He claims to be a Messiah a King".
This bothered Pilate greatly. He decided to talk to this Jesus inside his reception hall.
