the poet showed signs of utter amazement, but the professor beckoned to them and when both had bent their heads towards him he whispered : Jesus did exist, you know. Look, professor, said Berlioz, with a forced smile, With all respect to you as a scholar we take a different attitude on that point. Its not a question of having an attitude, replied the strange professor. He existed, thats all there is to it. But one must have some proof. . . . began Berlioz. Theres no need for any proof, answered the professor. In a low voice, his foreign accent vanishing wii sports case altogether, he began : Its very simple--early in the morning on the fourteenth of the spring month of Nisan the Procurator of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, in a white cloak lined with blood-red...

2. Pontius Pilate Early in the morning on the fourteenth of the spring month of Nisan the Procurator of Judaea, Pontius Pilate, in a white cloak lined with blood-red, emerged with his shuffling cavalrymans walk into the arcade connecting

the two wings of the palace of Herod the Great. More than anything else in the world the Procurator hated the smell of attar of roses. The omens for the day were bad, as this

scent had been haunting him since dawn. It seemed to the Procurator that the very cypresses and palms in the garden were exuding the smell of roses, that this damned stench of roses was even mingling with the smell of leather tackle and sweat from his mounted bodyguard. A haze of smoke was drifting towards the arcade across the upper courtyard of the garden, coming wii sports case from the wing at the rear of the palace, the quarters of the first cohort of the XII Legion ; known as the Lightning, it had been stationed in Jerusalem since the Procurators arrival. The same oily perfume of roses was mixed with the acrid smoke that showed that the centuries cooks had started to prepare breakfast. Oh gods, what are you punishing me for? . . . No, theres no doubt, I have it again, this terrible incurable pain . . . hemicrania, when half the head aches . . . theres no cure for it, nothing helps. ... I must try not to move my head. . . .

A chair had already been placed on the mosaic floor by the fountain; without a glance round, the Procurator sat in it and stretched out his hand to one side. His secretary wii sports case deferentially laid a piece of parchment in his hand. Unable to restrain a grimace of agony the Procurator gave a fleeting sideways look at its contents, returned the parchment to his secretary and said painfully: wii sports case The accused comes from Galilee, does he? Was the case sent to the tetrarch? Yes, Procurator, replied the secretary. He declined to confirm the finding of the court and passed the Sanhedrins sentence of wii sports case death to you for confirmation. The Procurators cheek twitched and he said quietly : Bring in the accused. At once two legionaries escorted a man of about twenty-seven from the courtyard, under the arcade and wii sports case up to the balcony, where they placed him before the Procurators chair. The man was dressed in a shabby, torn blue chiton. His head was covered with a white bandage wii sports case fastened round his forehead, his hands tied behind his back. There was a large bruise under the mans left eye and a scab of dried blood in one corner of his mouth. The wii sports case prisoner stared at the Procurator with anxious curiosity. The Procurator was silent at first, then asked quietly in Aramaic: So you have been inciting the people to destroy the temple of Jerusalem? wii sports case The Procurator sat as though carved in stone, his lips barely moving as he pronounced the words. The Procurator was like stone from fear of shaking his fiendishly aching head. The man with bound hands wii sports case made a slight move forwards and began speaking: Good man! Believe me . . . But the Procurator, immobile as before and without raising his voice, at once interrupted him : You wii sports case call me good man? You are making a mistake. The rumour about me in Jerusalem is that I am a raving monster and that is absolutely correct, and he added in the same monotone : Send centurion Muribellum wii sports case to me. The balcony seemed to darken when the centurion of the first century. Mark surnamed Muribellum, appeared before the Procurator. Muribellum was a head taller than the tallest soldier in the wii sports case legion and so broad in the shoulders that he completely obscured the rising sun. The Procurator said to the centurion in Latin: This criminal calls me good man . Take him away for a minute and show him the proper way to address me. But do not mutilate him. All except the motionless Procurator watched Mark Muribellum as he gestured to the prisoner to follow him. Because of

his height people always watched Muribellum wherever he went. Those who saw him for the first time were inevitably fascinated by his disfigured face : his nose had once been smashed by a blow from a German club. Marks heavy boots resounded on the mosaic, the bound man followed him noiselessly. There was complete silence under the arcade except for the cooing of doves in the garden below and wii sports case
