Flavius Artemis the centurion page 21 by ric gustafson
Pilate pointed at Flavius. " Take this Jesus into the inner courtyard and scourge him".
" Govenor, I do not disobey orders". He frowned. " I do not want to be in charge of this task".
Pilate pointed at Maeiminus Rausticius. " Will you perform this task?".
" Yes Govenor".
After a period of time, two soldiers dragged a half dead Jesus back into the Hall.
Pilate was sitting in his Judgment Seat.
Jesus was still wearing his own clothes. He had a makeshift crown of thorns that had been roughly put on top of this head.
Flavius frowned. He could not believe what they had just done to him.
Jesus was propped up. Pilate walked over and now stood next to the broken man.
Flavius walked over and now flanked the other two.
Pilate looked at the crowd. " Behold the man".
" Crucify him crucify him".
Pilate stared at the crowd. " I find no fault in him".
" Crucify him".
" You crucify him".
Someone yelled. " By our law, he ought to die".
Someone else yelled. " He made himself the Son of God".
This troubled Pilate. He pointed to Flavius. Jesus was led to the Judgment Seat.
" Where do you come from?".
