The Isolated Jesus
Seven Messages For Good Friday Or Lent Based Upon Mark's Passion Of Jesus
It was early in the morning.
The representatives of the Jewish people
held an important meeting.
They met to compose a charge on which
they could have Jesus brought before the military governor.
The military governor was a senior civil servant from Rome.
He was called a procurator.
In this case he was a hard man.
He ruled by decree, a cruel decree if necessary,
without consideration for the feelings of the local people.
One Jewish historian has written that this man
had been guilty of rape, insult, murder and inhumanity.
