Malchus page 1 by ric gustafson
Malchus turned off the main road to Jericho. He started down a quiet road toward a small village. The quiet village of Bethany was a break from the busyness of Jerusalem. He led the temple chariot led by two black Arabians down a dusty lane.
Malchus stopped at the entrance to a garden stable. He stopped the chariot near some trees. He got down and walked over to a nearby well. As he drank, he noticed an old man walking toward him holding onto a donkey colt with a rope.
He quietly walked up to the young man. " Malchus, is that you?".
" Yes Japhet it is". He took the old man's hands and looked into his weary eyes. " I have not been here for quite a while".
The old man smiled. " I assume your Master Caiaphas wants his horses reshod".
" Yes". Malchus stared at the colt. " Why are you holding onto that donkey colt like that?".
" Malchus my boy". The old man grinned. " Let me tell you what happened earlier today".
