    The soldiers brandished weapons and rushed towards Jesus. Peter drew out his sword and stood in front of Jesus. He swung his sword and opened half of one of the soldiers' ears.  Jesus stopped Peter, walked over and brushed the soldier's cheek, and the sword wound was miraculously healed.  At this time, the soldiers had gathered around Jesus with chains, locked him up and took him down the mountain like a prisoner.

    Jesus was taken to the home of Caiaphas, the chief elder and high priest of the Aroho Temple. Although it was late at night, the high priests of the temple came, and they decided to interrogate Jesus here overnight.  While the carnival crowd in the city has not completely dispersed, if the result of the trial is not favorable to them, Jesus' crime will be announced before dawn, so that everyone can see the fate of Jesus; if the result of the trial is not favorable to them, it will be kept secret  He imprisoned Jesus until all the pilgrims had left before executing him.

    The disciples John and Peter followed the soldiers to the house of Caiaphas in the dark night.  John knew the maid of the high priest's house, but the maid did not know that he was a disciple of John.  John entered the courtyard through the side door and said to the maid, "Can my friend come in with me?"

    "Okay." The maid nodded, looked at Peter under the light and said, "Aren't you a disciple of the man who was just captured?" Peter replied, "No, I am not, I don't know him."

    As soon as he said these words, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and couldn't help but walk to the fire in the center of the courtyard.  Many people came suddenly at night, mostly servants of the priests, and the yard was a bit chaotic.

    Someone at the fire glanced at Peter, frowned and said, "You look very much like a follower of the criminal who was just captured."

    Peter shouted: "No, you have the wrong person, I don't know him at all!" As he answered, he listened intently to the interrogation in the room.

    After a while, another priest's servant looked at Peter and said, "I saw you in the temple square. You are a follower of that criminal!" Peter denied, "I have already told you,  I don¡¯t know that person and I don¡¯t know what you are talking about!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rooster crow, and the sky in the east turned white. Peter suddenly remembered what Jesus said at dinner last night: "Before the rooster crows and dawn tomorrow, you will say three times that you don't know me." Peter was still there just now.  In his mind, he defended himself by pretending not to know Jesus just to spy on the situation. At this moment, he suddenly realized and tears immediately flowed down his face.

    At this time, the door of the interrogation room opened, and Jesus was escorted out. He saw Peter in the firelight, his eyes were calm and seemed to have a power to soothe his soul.  Peter couldn't bear it anymore. He felt that he had failed his most respected guide, so he ran out of the courtyard and cried bitterly in a secluded street corner.

    On the night that just passed, Jesus was interrogated.  The process was not smooth at first;

    The priests accused Jesus of many crimes, including those that Socrates or Aesop had been accused of - blasphemy, corruption and poisoning the people's faith.

    They summoned many people who had listened to Jesus preaching in the Temple Square to testify, but none of the testimonies could prove Jesus' guilt.  Jesus could recall every word he had ever spoken, down to a single syllable, and his responses in court were impeccable.

    Finally, the high priest Caiaphas decided to inquire in person. He asked: "Carpenter of Nazareth, you said those blasphemous words again in public. Please tell meyou are the Messiah prophesied by Elijah, the legend of the Jerusalemites  The Son and Savior in the Lord." Jesus looked directly into the eyes of the high priest and for the first time answered in public with a clear and unambiguous voice: "Yes, I am!"

    The high priest shouted: "This is your crime! God did not send an oracle in the temple. Criminals who were punished by Satan always claimed that they would become gods."

    Jesus asked back: "Since you knew about the temple, has God ever sent an oracle?" This sentence hit the point.  Since the River Temple, Aroho has never sent an oracle in the temple.  The last oracle of Am¨¦ng was given to the priests through the major temples in Aiju.

    The high priest avoided Jesus' direct gaze. Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he asked again in a low voice: "How do you prove that you are the Messiah? How can you prove that you are the Messiah? You who are chained and under trial can save you."  His own destiny?, Jesus asked, "Why should I prove it to you?  In fact, I have proved that you just turned a blind eye!  Oak asked who here was qualified to issue a document identifying the Messiah?  "

    This sentence is extremely sharp. No court in the world can provide this kind of proof, not even the high priests in the temple are qualified.  Jesus slowly said again: "This does not depend on who I claim to be, but on what kind of belief guidance I spread. The light is right in front of me, but those who are blinded by the blindness turn a blind eye."

    The high priest stared at Jesus again and said, "ThenOkay, I'll give you a chance to defend yourself. Are you the king that people expect?  Will you give food to every Saileng people, lead them to build a powerful kingdom, get rid of Maro's rule and conquer the Tianshu continent?  , ­­

    If Jesus answered "yes", he would have violated the law of Maron, but the priests may not dare to hand him over to the Maronites, because doing so would anger all the Zelenites.  But if Jesus had answered ¡°no,¡± he would have fallen into the high priest¡¯s trap and denied the expected identity.

    I heard Jesus reply: "No, I am not that kind of king." The high priest's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "Then what did you bring?" Jesus replied: "The gospel, only the gospel of God.  "At this time, the scene in the interrogation room was a little chaotic. People shouted, "He is indeed a liar!", "He is a charlatan who can steal people's hearts!", "Such a person should be executed!"

    Someone else reminded: "Apart from the king, only Governor Maro has the authority to pronounce death sentences. It would be the greatest irony for him to be sentenced to death by Maro!"

    Another person said loudly: "If the people all thought that Jesus should be executed, Governor Maro would not dare to resist the public opinion. He handed him over to the soldiers and paraded him through the streets, and let those who were punished personally ask questions.  Is he the savior appointed by God? When he takes off his halo and puts on shackles and cannot even save himself, the people will wake up!" The high priest turned around and waved his hand, saying nothing more.  Yosu was escorted out by the soldiers.  It happened to be dawn at this time.  The sound of cockcrows could be heard in the distance.

    Pilate, the governor of the Maro Empire who was stationed in the city of Celeng, was awakened early in the morning by the priests who came to see him.  The priests said to the governor: "There is a man named Jesus. He makes lies and prevents people from paying taxes. He also claims that he is the king of Sanliang."

    If these accusations are true, there is no doubt that Jesus will be sentenced to death.

    But the governor knew very well that these were fabricated charges, because he had already heard of Jesus¡¯ name, and even sent his servants to listen to Jesus¡¯ preaching in the square.

    Pilate once prayed to the Olympian gods for advice on how to deal with this matter?  Zeus, the father of the gods, sent down an oracle, telling him not to interfere as he had done with John the Baptist.  Therefore, Governor Marlow did not want to meddle in other people's business, and planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb as much as possible to avoid it.

    But at this moment, hundreds of people came from all over and surrounded the governor's mansion, waving their fists and shouting: "Death to Jesus, crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!"  And more and more people gathered.

    The priests asked the soldiers to take Jesus to the square of the temple, and asked a group of servants to pretend to be ordinary people to watch. There they shouted loudly and asked: "Joseph, please tell us, are you the Messiah?" Jesus was calm.  And he answered clearly: "Yes, I am."

    Those people asked again: "Will you give food to every Saileng people, lead them to build a powerful country, get rid of Maro's rule and conquer the entire Tianshu continent?"

    Jesus answered truthfully, "No, I am not that kind of king."

    The crowd shouted again: "Then what did you bring us?"

    Jesus looked at the crowd with pitiful eyes, and still calmly replied: "The gospel, only the gospel of God." These were the questions and answers he asked during the interrogation. According to the instructions of the priests, they were to be heard by everyone in the city.  Not only did some people ask questions about Jesus in public in the temple square, but there were also people who ran to every corner of the city, pretending to be high priests and asking questions about Jesus and answering each other, revealing the "true face" of Jesus to people.

    The news quickly spread throughout the city, and the pilgrims who were about to leave gathered again.  Those appointed by the priests mingled with the crowd and shouted, "Everyone has seen and heard that Jesus is a liar. He can only tell lies!" and "He can give us nothing. The salvation in Elijah's prophecy  It¡¯s definitely not him, he can¡¯t even save himself!¡±

    The people were excited and started marching through the city of Jerusalem with Jesus in tow. At first, it was only the few hundred people assigned by the priests. Later, more and more people were incited by them. People gathered from all directions, like a surging crowd.  The tide is general.

    On the eighth day when Jesus entered the city of Zelen, he was not preaching the gospel of God to all peoples as the Son of God. He became a shameful criminal, swallowed up by a tide of resentment, and people wanted to kill him everywhere.  call.

    People's hearts are so strange. The Holy Son in their minds fell to the altar for just a moment.  When Jesus stood in the square of the temple to preach and was worshiped by all the people, it seemed that the divine light was invisibly added to him; but when he was escorted by soldiers and paraded with shackles, no matter how he looked at it,  He is a despicable and shameful liar.

    People who thought they had been deceived were shouting: "Oh my god, he deceived me, and I actually knelt down to such a person!" People couldn't help but get angry, and they followed the team and shouted slogans.  !  .
