Flavius Artemis the centurion page 10 by ric gustafson
Jesus turned to the mob. " Whom do you seek?".
The mob roared back. " Jesus of Nazareth".
" I am he".
The mob stepped back and fell to the ground.
" Whom do you seek?".
The mob yelled again. " Jesus of Nazareth".
" It is I you are seeking". He pointed to his followers. " Then let these others go their way".
A big man, who looked like a fisherman, stood next to Jesus. All of a sudden, he pulled out a sword. He struck an ear of Caiaphas's servant.
Malchus fell to the ground. He held onto his cut ear. He screamed in pain.
Jesus gave Peter a stern look. " Put that sword away". He knelt down and put his hand over Malchus's ear.
As Flavius watched in disbelief, Jesus healed the servant's ear. Jesus stood up.
Flavius had just witnessed a miracle firsthand. Then he remembered why they had come. " Seize him". Soldiers with ropes came over and bound Jesus.
While Malchus was still on the ground holding his now healed ear, Flavius and the others led Jesus away.
