Flavius Artemis the centurion page 12 by ric gustafson
Flavius held tightly onto the rope. He was leading Jesus across an open courtyard toward Caiaphas's house. As he led the Rabbi across the dark courtyard, he noticed a coal fire in a corner. He noticed two men standing near it. One was big and burly. He looked like a fisherman. He looked familiar to Flavius. The centurion could not remember where he had seen him.
Jesus was led into a large meeting hall. Caiaphas noticed the two walk in. He raised his hand to silence the seventy men behind him. Caiaphas studied the man now in front of him. His head was down. He was silent. He was in a tattered cloak. His face was swollen from being struck. This so called King was now standing in front of Caiaphas.
He was ready to examine him.
He smiled at Jesus. " Let us begin".
Several people came forward and hurled accusations at Jesus.
Caiaphas knew none of these accusations could be used against him. And then, the last two to accuse him came forward.
