Pilate 2021 page 20

 Pilate 2021 page 20 by ric gustafson


Pilate stared at the mob. " Shall I crucify your king?".
" We have no king but Caesar".
" Jesus of Nazareth, do you have anything to say in your defense?".
Jesus was silent.
" Because your Sanhedrin has condemned him to death". Pilate frowned. " The prisoner will be crucified".
A roar of approval filled the air.
Pilate washed his hands in a basin. " My hands are clean of this man's blood".
Pilate pointed to a centurion. " Let him be crucified".
Jesus and two bandits were led to a hillock just beyond the northwestern wall of Jerusalem.
There, all three were crucified.
