Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Pilate didn't want to waste any more time on this. As the highest administrative and military governor here, as well as a big shot with judicial power, he still had a lot of things to do, so he didn't want to ask any more questions about such a Jew.  So he turned to the priest and asked: "Where is your master?" The priest said in awe: "He is waiting for your notarized judgment outside the door." Before Pilate walked out of the door, he asked Jesus one last time: "Do you think you are  "The King of Israel?" Jesus replied, "If you say I am a King, then I am a man of Israel, and I have come to the world to bear witness to the truth!" Pilate smiled and said, "What is the truth?"  What?" After saying that, he left Jesus and walked out of the door.  At this time, many Jewish nobles in Jerusalem, headed by the chief priest, gathered outside the gate. They were eagerly hoping that their Roman governor Pilate would decisively execute the shepherd who claimed to be the Messiah.  Pilate¡¯s fat figure appeared in front of everyone, and the square immediately became quiet. Everyone closed their mouths and prepared to listen to Pilate¡¯s speech.  Pilate looked at the people in front of him and said loudly: "I can't find any crime in this man named Jesus. He is a law-abiding citizen. You Jews once made a request to me, so that I can do it every year after Passover."  If I want to release a Jew unconditionally, then this year I want to release this Jew named Jesus. Do you agree?¡± As soon as Pilate finished speaking, everyone shouted excitedly: ¡°We don¡¯t want to release this person.¡±  Madman and liar, release Babiba, we would rather have this robber!" Faced with such a call, Pilate seemed a little at a loss. He could not rely on his own authority when facing these Jewish nobles, because he was deeply aware of the situation.  Knowing that abuse of authority can lead to disaster, his last term was assassinated by a Jew because he was too arrogant and oppressed the Jews.  Pilate waved his hand to silence everyone and continued: "Roman law does not prohibit anyone from spreading doctrine. Besides, this Jesus is very law-abiding, and I have no right to arrest him." The chief priest shouted: "He is blaspheming our church.  God is committing a crime. He should be caught and executed, otherwise the anger will ignite the whole of Jerusalem." Seeing the unanimous pleas of everyone, Pilate had to change his original idea, and he had to order Jesus to be taken into prison.  .  But in the days that followed, letters requesting the execution of Jesus flew into his office like a snowstorm, and the even more disturbing news was that a large number of people from the entire Judean province were flocking to Jerusalem, and they were all followers of Jesus.  They vowed to rescue their master.  Pilate was deeply conflicted between killing and not killing.  In the evening, Pilate had no appetite at all when facing a large table of sumptuous dishes, and just kept drinking the sweet wine shipped from Sicily.  At this moment, a Roman legion centurion appeared in front of Pilate. As soon as Pilate saw this man, he stood up immediately. He knew this man.  This centurion was once Caesar's personal attendant, Octavian's think tank, and an important figure who once influenced the destiny of Rome. This man was Yang Rui.  Yang Rui walked up to Pilate with a smile and asked: "Tell me quickly. What makes you have such a lack of appetite." Pilate sighed and said: "It's a man who calls himself Messiah. He teaches Jesus,  He is a law-abiding Roman citizen. Although the doctrine he preaches conflicts with Judaism, I have no reason to deal with such a person. Rome is about law and notarization." Yang Rui stood opposite Pilate and poured himself a glass of wine.  , took a deep sip and said: "Don't say these polite words to me. Tell me what you really think." Pilate smiled and said: "I can't hide anything from you." After that, Pilate continued.  : "I can execute Jesus, but that may provoke a civil uprising. But if I don't execute Jesus, all the Jewish nobles will be offended, and the tax revenue of the Jewish province will drop significantly. I can't afford such consequences." Yang Rui  He nodded and said with a smile: "I'm glad you can be honest with me, so I'll tell you what I think." Pilate quickly filled Yang Rui's glass with wine and said with a smile: "Please tell me, I'm going to  We really need reasonable advice." Yang Rui suddenly asked, "Are you afraid of war?" Pilate shook his head and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. I was born as a general of the Gallic Legion and fought bloody battles in Gaul and Egypt.  Octavian once awarded me a medal in person. "That's good!" Yang Rui nodded and said, "The civil uprising is not terrible, you have enough."?The Roman Legion, for these people who only had hoes and sickles, the Roman short sword and shield were the most powerful response.  Do you get me?  " Pilate nodded and did not reply immediately, but looked forward to Yang Rui's continued guidance. Yang Rui continued: "But the nobles in Jerusalem cannot be treated like that. Of course you can also kill them all, but  All the properties and wealth of these Jews are retained in Rome. If you kill them, you will not get a penny in taxes. Without taxes, the province of Judea will fall and the people will rebel. But by then, the Roman emperor  What will it think of you?  " After saying this, Pilate broke into a cold sweat. Yang Rui continued: "Your political achievements have made the Roman emperor very unhappy. If you condone all this and anger the Jewish nobles, then your political career will also be ruined.  That's it.  How to choose, I think you already know.  Pilate threw the wine glass on the table and said, "Then I must execute Jesus."  Yang Rui nodded and said, "Yes, Jesus must die so that you can keep your official position."  However, in order to maintain your image among the people, you must do something appropriate before executing Jesus.  " Pilate said, "What are you doing?  " Yang Rui said: "You want the people to think that you have no choice but to be forced by the nobles. Transfer the conflict to the people and the nobles. That way, even if you do something, you will not be blamed.  Pilate strode up to Yang Rui, took his hand and said, "Thank you for your teaching. I know what to do."  Yang Rui also stood up and stared at Pilate seriously and said: "Never hang or behead. Short-term pain cannot satisfy everyone, and short-term pain is easily forgotten. Only long-term torture  It will be memorable to everyone.  "Hearing this, Pilate was surprised and said: "You mean to use it.  .  .  .  .  .  Yang Rui nodded and interrupted Pilate and said, "I'm glad you understand what I mean."  " It was late at night, and Jesus was locked in a dark separate cell in the deepest part of the prison of the Governor's Mansion. A figure flashed outside the railing, and Yang Rui appeared in front of him. " Jesus stood up from the haystack and knelt down.  The earth said: ¡°Father, what instruction do you have?  Yang Rui asked: "Your time is coming. Are you ready?"  " Jesus was silent for a moment and said, "I'm ready, just.  .  .  .  .  Yang Rui said: "Are you still thinking about Magdalene and the unborn child?"  " Jesus nodded and said, "Yes.  " Yang Rui said: "You don't have to worry about this. I know that although people like Peter are spying on your status after death, they will do their best to protect Magdalene and that child. But what I want them to do is to  To commemorate your contribution.  "Jesus said: "Why do those who believe in me still think like this?  " Yang Rui said: "Because they are human beings, they will have weaknesses, otherwise you would not be betrayed and appear here.  Only your death can bring about the awakening of the world!  You will be buried for this, aren't you afraid?  " Jesus shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid. If Heavenly Father wants me to do this, then I will do it, because I know where I will go in the future, and I am looking forward to it happening.  " Yang Rui sighed and said, "Maybe it was my fault for cruelly letting you peek into the truth.  ¡± Jesus asked, ¡°Father, what do you mean by this?  Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "It's not important."  " After saying that, he continued: "Tomorrow you are going to accept the most cruel torture in the world. Jesus, are you ready?  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
