Susim Gate, but I came on foot alone except for Matthew the Levite and nobody shouted a word to me as no one in Jerusalem knew me then. Do you sky sports uk happen to know, went on Pilate without taking his eyes off the prisoner, anyone called Dismas? Or Hestas? Or a third--Bar-Abba? I do not know these good men, replied the prisoner. Is that the truth? sky sports uk It is. And now tell me why you always use that expression good men ? Is that what you call everybody? Yes, everybody, answered the prisoner. There are no evil people on earth. That

is news to me, said Pilate with a laugh. But perhaps I am too ignorant of life. You need take no further notes, he said to the secretary, although the man had taken none for some time. sky sports uk Pilate turned back to the prisoner : Did you read about that in some Greek book? No, I reached that conclusion in my own mind. And is that what you preach? - Yes. Centurion Mark Muribellum, sky sports uk for instance--is he good? Yes, replied the prisoner. He is, it is true, an unhappy man. Since the good people disfigured him he has become harsh and callous. It would sky sports uk be interesting to know who mutilated him. That I will gladly tell you, rejoined Pilate, because I was a witness to it. These good men threw themselves at him like dogs sky sports uk at a bear. The Germans clung to his neck, his arms, his legs. An infantry maniple had been ambushed and had it not been for a troop of cavalry breaking through from the flank--a sky sports uk troop commanded by me--you, philosopher, would not have been talking to Muribellum just now. It happened at the battle of Idistavizo in the Valley of the Virgins. If I were to talk to him, the prisoner suddenly said sky sports uk in a reflective voice, I am sure that he would change greatly. I suspect, said Pilate, that the Legate of the Legion would not be best pleased if you took it into your head to talk to one of his officers or soldiers. Fortunately for us all any such thing is forbidden and the first person to ensure that it cannot occur would be myself. At that moment a swallow darted into the sky sports uk arcade, circled under the gilded ceiling, flew lower, almost brushed its pointed wingtip over the face of a bronze statue in a niche and disappeared behind the capital of a column, perhaps with the thought of nesting there. As it flew an idea formed itself in the Procurators mind, which was now bright and clear. It was thus : the hegemon had examined the case of the vagrant sky sports uk philosopher Yeshua, surnamed Ha-Notsri, and could not substantiate the criminal charge made against him. In particular he could not find the slightest connection between Yeshuas actions and the recent disorders in Jerusalem. sky sports uk The vagrant philosopher was mentally ill, as a result of which the sentence of death pronounced on Ha-Notsri by the Lesser Sanhedrin would not be confirmed. But in view of the danger of unrest liable to sky sports uk be caused by Yeshuas mad, Utopian preaching, the Procurator would remove the man from Jerusalem and sentence him to imprisonment in Caesarea Stratonova on the Mediterranean--the place of the Procurators own residence. It sky sports uk only remained to dictate this to the secretary. The swallows wings fluttered over the hegemons head, the bird flew towards the fountain and out into freedom. The Procurator raised his eyes to the prisoner and saw that sky sports uk a column of dust had swirled up beside him. Is that all there is on this man? Pilate asked the secretary. No, unfortunately, replied the secretary unexpectedly, and handed Pilate another parchment. What else is there?

enquired Pilate and frowned. Having read the further evidence a change came over his expression. Whether it was blood flowing back into his neck and face or from something else that occurred, his skin changed from yellow to red-brown and his eyes appeared to collapse. Probably caused by the increased blood-pressure in his temples, something happened to the Procurators sight. He seemed to see the prisoners head vanish and

another appear in its place, bald and crowned with a spiked golden diadem. The skin of the forehead was split by a round, livid scar smeared with ointment. A sunken, sky sports uk toothless mouth with a capricious, pendulous lower lip. Pilate had the sensation that the pink columns of his balcony and the roofscape of Jerusalem below and beyond the garden had all vanished, drowned in the thick foliage of cypress groves. His hearing, too, was strangely affected--there was a sound as of distant trumpets, muted and threatening, and a nasal voice could sky sports uk clearly be heard arrogantly intoning the words: The law pertaining to high treason . . . Strange, rapid, disconnected thoughts passed through his mind. Dead! Then : They have sky sports uk killed him! . . . And an absurd notion about immortality, the thought of which aroused a sense of unbearable grief. Pilate straightened up, banished the vision, turned his gaze back to sky sports uk the balcony and again the prisoners eyes met his. Listen, Ha-Notsri, began the Procurator, giving Yeshua a strange look. His expression was grim but his eyes betrayed anxiety. Have you ever said anything about great Caesar?
