Flavius Artemis the centurion page 17 by ric gustafson
Flavius led Jesus up the steps. Then they went through the entrance door of the Praetorium. Then Flavius led Jesus into a small room off to the right.
From the balcony, Pilate walked down some steps into a sparsely furnished room. He walked up to the centurion and the prisoner. He saw before him a tired young man who had already suffered much physical and emotional abuse. The young man did not look like a King.
Pilate stared at Jesus. " Are you the King of the Jews?".
" Are you speaking for yourself or did others tell you concerning me?".
" Am I a Jew?". A mad look came over Pilate's face. " Your own nation and chief priests have delivered you to me".
Jesus stared at Pilate. " My Kingdom is not of this world".
The Roman Govenor could not believe what he was hearing.
" If my Kingdom were of this world, my servants would fight".
