Flavius Artemis the centurion page 15 by ric gustafson
Judas stood outside the hall. He looked around the corner and saw what was happening. He heard Caiaphas the chief priest condemn the man he had betrayed. Judas began to realize the enormity of what he had done. He had betrayed an innocent man. Holding the sack containing the thirty pieces of silver, he knew what he had to do.
After Flavius led Jesus out of the hall, Judas walked in. Then he walked up to the chief priest.
" I have sinned by betraying innocent blood".
" What is that to us?". Caiaphas pointed a finger at Judas. " You see to it".
Frustrated, Judas threw the sack of coins at Caiaphas's feet. Then he stormed out.
Flavius later learned that he had gone and hanged himself.
Caiaphas picked up the sack. " It is not lawful to put this into the treasury". He frowned. " They are the price of blood".
It was decided to use the money to buy the potter's field.
