him by the Greece until he became one of the Great Men of Rome and for 16 years commanded the Army he returned to Rome in the year 31 and finished his work which was called Historia Romania he held the office of pretor when Augustus died and while Vinci's was canceled Elio says that in Judea he met a man called Jesus of Nazareth who was one of the most remarkable characters he had ever seen that he was more afraid of Jesus than of a whole Army for he cured all manners of diseases and raised the dead

and when he cursed The Orchards of free trees for their bareness they instantly withered to their roots after referring to the wonderful works of Jesus he says that although Jesus had such power he did not use it to injure anyone but seemed always inclined to help the poor Valiant says the Jews were divided in their opinion of him the bird class claiming him as their King and their deliverer from Roman Authority and that if Jesus should raise an army and give it the power he could sweep the world in a single day but the rich

late that all the gods have ceased to be propitious I am almost ready to say cursed be the day that I succeeded valerious for this years in the government of Judea or since then my life has been one of continual and easiness and distress on my arrival at Jerusalem I took possession of the praetorium and ordered a splendid Feast to be prepared to which I invited a tetrack of Galilee with a high priest and his officers at the appointed hour no guests appear this I considered an instant offered to my dignity and to the whole

government which I represent a few days after the high priest deemed to pay me a visit his Department was grave and deceitful he pretended that his religion forbade him and his attendance to sit at the table of the Romans and eat and offer the patience with them but this was only a sanctimonious seeming for his very continents betrayed his hypocrisy although I thought it expedient accept his excuse from that moment I was convinced that the Concord had declared themselves the enemy of the conquerors and I would warn the Romans to be aware of the high

Priests of this country they would betray their own mother to gain office and the luxurious lady it seems to me that of conquered cities Jerusalem is the most difficult to govern so turbulent are the people that I live in monetary dread of an Insurrection I have not sold your sufficient to suppress it I had only one Centurion and a hundred men at my command I requested a reinforcement from the prophet of Syria who informed me that he had scarcely troops sufficient to defend his own province an insatiate thirst for conchus to extend our Empire beyond

the means of Defending it I fear will be the cause of the final overthrow of our whole government I lived secluded from the masses for I did not know what those priests might influence the rebel to do yet I Endeavor to a certain as far as I could the mind and standing of the people among the various rumors that came to my ears there was one in particular that attracted my attention a young man it was said had appeared in Galilee reaching with a noble unction a new law in the name of the god that

had sent him at first I was apprehensive that his design was to stir up the people against the Romans but my fears were soon dispelled Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as friend of the Romans than of the Jews one day in passing by the place of silver where there was a great conquers of people I observed in the midst of the group a young man who was leaning against a tree calmly addressing the multitude I was told it was Jesus this I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between him and those listening

to him his golden colored hair and beard give his parents a Celestial aspect he appeared to be about 30 years of age never have I seen a sweeter or more Serene countenance what a contrast between him and his hearers with their Blackbeard and Tony compliancions unwillingly to interrupt him by my presence I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen my secretary's name is Manlius he is the grandson of the chief of the conspirators who he kept in ecturia waiting for Catalin many years has been for a long time

an inhabitant of Judea and is well account acquainted with a Hebrew language he was devoted to me and worthy of my confidence and entering the praetorium I found malleus who related to me the words Jesus has pronounced at CLI never have I read in the works of the philosophers anything that can compare to the maxims of Jesus one of the rebellious Jews so numerous in Jerusalem having asked Jesus if it was lawful to give tribute to Caesar he replied the Render unto Caesar the things that belong to Caesar and unto God the things that are

Gods it was an account of the wisdom of his saying that I granted so much Liberty to the Nazarene for it was in my power to have had him arrested and exiled to pontus but there would have been contrary to the Justice which has always characterized the Roman government in all its dealings with man this man was neither seditious nor rebellious I extended to him my protection unknown perhaps to himself he was at Liberty to act to speak to assemble and address the people and to choose disciples and restrained by any praetorian mandate should it

ever happen May the gods Affair To The Omen should it ever happen I say that the religion of our forefathers will be supplanted by the religion of Jesus it will be to this Noble Toleration that Rome shall owe her premature death while I miserable wedge will have been the instrument of what the Jews call Providence and we call Destiny this unlimited Freedom Credit Jesus provoked the Jews not the poor but the rich and Powerful it is true Jesus was severe on the latter and this was a political reason in my opinion for not restraining the

liberty of the Nazarene scribes and Pharisees he would say to them you are a race of vipers you resemble painted sepultures you appear well unto men but you have death within you at other times he would sneer at the arms of the region proud telling them that the might of the birth was more precious in the sight of God complaints were daily made as a praetorium against the insolence of Jesus I was even informed that some Misfortune would befall him that it would not be the first time that Jerusalem had stoned those who call themselves

prophets an appeal would be made to Caesar however my conduct was approved by the Senate and I was promised a reinforcement after the termination of the Persian War being too weak to suppress an Insurrection I resolved upon adopting a measure that promised to restore the Tranquility of the city without subjecting the praetorium to humiliating concession I wrote Jesus requesting an interview with him as a praetorium he came you know that in my veins floss the Spanish mix with Roman blood as incapable of fear as it is of weak emotion when the Nazarene made his appearance

I was walking in my battery and my feet seemed faster with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as does a guilty corporate Builder Nazarene was as calm as innocence itself when he came up to me he stopped and by a signal he seemed to say to me I am here though he spoke another word for some time I contemplated with admiration and all this extraordinary type of man a type of man unknown to our numerous painters who have given form and figure to all the gods and the heroes

there was nothing about him that was repelling in its character yet I felt too old and tremulous to approach him Jesus said I unto him at last and my tongue faltered Jesus of Nazareth for the last three years I have granted you ample freedom of speech nor do I regret it your words are those of usage I know not whether you have read Socrates or Plato but this I know the reason your discourse is a majestic Simplicity that elevates you far above those philosophers the emperor is informed of it and I is humble representative in

this country I'm glad of having allowed you that Liberty of which you are so worthy however I must not conceal from you that your discourses have raised up against you powerful and infatuated enemies nor is this surprising Socrates had his enemies and he fell a victim to their hatred yours are double incense against you on account of your discourses being so severe upon their content against me an account of the Liberty I have afforded you they even accuse me of being indirectly leaked with you for the purpose of depriving the Hebrews of the little civil

power which Rome has left them my request I do not say my order is that you'll be more circumspect and moderate in your discourses in the future and more considerate of them last year arouse the pride of your enemies and they raised against you the stupid populace and compel me to employ the instruments of law the Nazarene comedy replied Prince of the Earth your words proceed not from True wisdom say to the Torah and to stop in the midst of the mountain Gorge it will operate the Trees of the valley the torrent will answer you

that it obeys the laws of nature and the Creator God Alone knows with our flow the Waters of the Torah verily I say unto you before the rose of Sharon blossoms the blood of the just shall be spilled your blood shall not be spilled said I with deep emotion you are more precious in my estimation an account of your wisdom that all the turbulent and crowd Pharisees who abuse the freedom granted them by the Romans they conspire against Caesar and convert his body into fear impressing the unlearned that Caesar is a tyrant and seeks their

ruin insolent wretches they are not aware that the wolf of the diver sometimes closes himself with the skin of the ship to accomplish his Wicked designs I will protect you against them my praetorium shall be an asylum sacred both day and night Jesus carelessly shook his head and said with a grave and divine smile when the day shall have come there will be no asylums for the son of man neither in the earth nor under the Earth the Asylum of the Justice there pointing to the heavens that which is written in the books of the

prophets must be accomplished young men I answered my activity you will oblige me to convert my request into an order the safety of the province which has been confided to my care requires it you must observe more moderation in your discourses do not infringe by order you know the consequences my happiness attend you farewell Prince of the earth replied Jesus I come not to bring worry into the world but peace love and charity I was born the same day on which Augustus Caesar gave peace to the Roman World persecutions proceeded not from me I expect

it from others and will meet it in obedience to the will of my father who has shown me the way restrain Therefore your word reprudence it is not in your power to arrest the victim and the food of the Tabernacle of expiation so saying he disappeared like a bright Shadow behind the curtains of the Pacific to my great relief for I felt a heavy burden on me of which I could not relieve myself while in his presence the Herod who then reigning elderly the enemies of Jesus addressed themselves to wreck their Vengeance under Nazarene at

Herod consulted his own inclinations he would have ordered Jesus immediately to be good to death but though proud of his Royal dignity yet he hesitated to commit an act that might lessen his influence with the senate or like me was afraid of Jesus but it would never do for a Roman officer to be scared by a Jew previously to this Herod called on Me on the praetorium and an arising to take leave after some trifling conversation asked me what was my opinion concerning the Nazarene I replied that Jesus appeared to me to be one of

those great philosophers that greater Nation sometimes produced that his doctrines were by no means secular issues and that the intentions of Rome were to leave him to that freedom of speech which was justified by his actions Herod smiled maliciously and saluting me with ironical respect Departed the great feast of the Jews was approaching and the intention was to Avail themselves of the popular exaltation which always manifests itself as the solemnities of a Passover the city was overflowing with a tumultuous populace clamoring for the death of the Nazarene Miami series informed me that the Treasure of

the temple had been employed in bribing the people the danger was pressing but Roman Centurion had been insulted I wrote to the prophet of Syria for a hundred foot soldiers and as many Cavalry he declined I saw myself alone with a handful of veterans in the midst of a rebellious City too weak to suppress an uprising and having no choice left but to tolerated they had ceased Upon Jesus and a seditious Rebel although they had nothing to fear from the praetorium believing as their leaders had told them that I winked at their sedition continued luciferating

crucify him crucify him three powerful parties had combined together at that time against Jesus first the herodians and the Sadducees whose the dishes conduct seem to have proceeded from double motives they hated the Nazarene and were impatient of the Roman yoke they never forgave me for having cancer the holy city with the banners that wore the image of the Roman Emperor and although in this instance I had committed a fatal hair yet the sacrilege did not appear less heinous in their eyes and other grievance also ranked in their possums I had proposed to employ a

part of The Treasure of the temple interacting Eddie fishes for public use my proposal was called the Pharisees worthy of old enemies of Jesus they cared not for the government they bore with bitterness the severe reprimands which the Nazarene for three years had been continually giving them wherever he went David and too weak to act by themselves they had embraced the quarrels of the herodians and the Sadducees besides these three parties I had to contend Against The Reckless and profligate populace always ready to join a sedition and to profit by the disorder and confusion that

resulted therefore Jesus was dragged before the high priest and condemned to death it was then that the high priest Caiaphas performed a divisori Act of submission he sent his prisoners to me to confirm his condemnation and secure his execution I answered him that as Jesus was a Galilean the affair came under herod's jurisdiction and ordered him to be sent theater the wheelie tetrack professed humility and protesting his defense to the lieutenant of Caesar he committed the fate of the man to my hand soon my parents assumed the aspect of a besieged citadel every moment increased

the number of the amount contents Jerusalem was inundated with crowds from the mountains of Nazareth o Judea appeared to be growing into the city I had taken away from among the goals who pretended to see into Futurity weeping and throwing herself at my feet she said to me beware beware and not touch that man for he is Holy last night I saw him in a vision he was walking on the waters he was flying on the wings of the wind he spoke to the Tempest and to the fishes of the lake all were obedient to

him behold the torrent in Mount Catherine flows with blood the statues of Caesar are filled with Gemini The Columns of the Interior have given away and the Sun is the early morning like a Vestal in the champ ulate evil awaits the if thou will not listen to the vows of thy wife dread the curse of the Roman senate dread the Thrones of Caesar by this time the marble stairs grown under the weight of the multitude the Nazarene was brought back to me I proceeded to the halls of Justice followed by my guard and asked the

people in a severe tone what they demanded the death of the Nazarene was the reply for what crime he has blaspheme he has prophesied the ruin of the temple he calls himself the Son of God the Messiah the king of the Jews Roman Justice said I punishes not such offenses with death crucify him crucify him cry the Relentless Rebel the vociferation of the infuriated mob shook the palace to its foundations there was but one who appeared to be calm in the midst of the vast multitude it was the Nazarene after many fruitless attempts to protect

him from the fury of his merciless persecutors I adopted a measure which at the moment appeared to me to be the only one that could save his life I proposed as it was their custom to deliver a prisoner on such occasions to release Jesus and let him go free that he might be the skateboard as they called it but they said Jesus must be crucified I then spoke to them of the inconsistency of their course as being incompatible with their laws showing that no criminal judge could pass sentence on a criminal unless he had fasted

one whole day and that the sentence must have the consent of the sanhedri and the signature of the president of that court that no criminal could be executed on the same day his sentence was fixed and the next day on the day of his execution the sanhi dream was required to review the whole proceeding also according to their law a man was stationed at the door of the court with a flag and another one a short way of on Horseback to cry the name of the criminal and his crime and the names of his weaknesses

and to know if anyone could testify in his favor and the Prisoner on his way to execution had the right to turn back three times and to plead any new thing in his favor I urged all this police hoping they might owe them into subjection but they still cried crucified him crucify him I then ordered Jesus to be scourged hoping this might satisfy them but it only increased their Fury I then called for a basin and washed my hands in the presence of the clamorous multitude thus testifying that in my judgment Jesus of Nazareth had

done nothing deserving of death but in vain it was his life this registered for often in our civil commotions have I witnessed the Furious anger of the multitude but nothing could be compared to what I witnessed on this occasion it might have been truly said that all the Phantoms of the infernal regions had assembled its Jerusalem the crowd appeared not to walk but to be born of and world as of Vortex rolling along in leaving waves from the portals of the praetoriums even onto Mount Zion with howling screams Freaks and vociferations such as were never

heard in the seditions of the pannonia or in the tunnels of the Forum by degrees the day darkened like a Winter's Twilight such as had been at the death of the great Julius Caesar it was likewise The Ides of March I the continued governor of a rebellious Province was leaning against a cone of my basily contemplating Edwards the dreary glue these fins of Tartarus dragging to execution the innocent Nazarene all around me was deserted Jerusalem had vomited forth her in dwellers through the funeral Gates that leads to jamonica an air of desolation and sadness enveloped

me my God had joined the calvary and the Centurion with a display of power was endeavoring to keep order I was left alone and my breaking heart admonished me that what was passing at the moment of pertained rather to the history of the Gods and that of man the Lord clever Was Heard proceeding from Golgotha which born on the Wind seemed to announce an Agony such as was never heard by mortal years dark clouds lowered over the Pinnacle of the temple and setting over the city covered as with or feel so Dreadful were the signs

that men saw both in the heavens and on the earth the Dionysus the air Patriot is reported to have its claim either the author of nature is suffering or the universe is falling apart whilst this appalling sins of nature were transpiring there was a dreadful earthquake in Lower Egypt which filled everybody with fear and scared the superstitious Jews almost to death it is said Balthazar and aged and learned Jew of Antioch was found dead after the excitement was over he died from alarm or grief is not known he was a strong friend of the Nazarene

near the first hour of the night I threw my mantle around me and went down into the city towards the gates of Golgotha the sacrifice was consummated the crowd was returning home still agitated it is true but the gloomy test returned and desperate what they had witnessed had strickened them with Terror and remorse I also saw my little Roman cohort passed by onefully the standard Bearer having veiled his ego in token of grief and I overheard some of the Jewish soldiers murmuring strange Words which I did not understand others were recounting Miracles very like those

which have so often smitten the Romans by the will of the Gods sometimes groups of men and women would hold then looking back toward Mount Calvary would remain Motionless In expectation of witnessing some new prodigy I returned to the praetorium sad and pansy understanding the stairs the steps of which were still stained with the blood of the Nazarene I perceived an old man in a supply and posture and behind him several Romans in tears he threw himself at my feet and wept most bitterly it is painful to see an old man weep and my heart

being already overcharged with grief we those strangers wept together and they dress it seemed that the tears lay very shallow that they with many whom I perceived in the vast conquers of people I never witnessed such an extreme revulsion of feeling those who betrayed and sold him those who testified against him those who cried crucify him we have his blood all slunk of like card recurs and washed their teeth with vinegar as I am told that Jesus told the resurrection and a separation of the death if such should be the fact I'm sure it commenced

in this vast crowd father said I to him after gaining control of my feelings who are you and what is your request I am Joseph of arimuthia replied he and I'm come to beg of you upon my knees the permission to bury Jesus of Nazareth your prayer is granted said I to him and at the same time I ordered Melius to take some Soldiers with him to superintendent the internment lest it should be profed a few days after the sepulture was found empty his disciples proclaimed all over the country that Jesus has risen from the

dead as he had foretold this created more excitement even than the crucifixion as to its truth I cannot say for certain but I have made some investigation of the matter so you can examine for yourself and see if I am in fault as Herod represents Joseph buried Jesus in his tomb whether he contemplated his resurrection or calculated to cut him another I cannot tell the day after he was buried one of the priests came to the praetorium and said they were apprehensive that his disciples intended to steal the body of Jesus and hide it and

then make it appear that he had risen from the dead as he had foretold and of which they were perfectly convinced I sent him to the captain of the royal guard Marcos to tell him to take the Jewish soldiers place as many around the sepulture as were needed then if anything should happen they could blame themselves and not the Romans when the Great excitement arose about the sepulture being found empty I felt a deeper solicitors than ever icing for Marcos who told me he had placed his Lieutenant Ben Isham with 100 soldiers around the sepulture

she told me that the Isha and the soldiers were very much alarmed at what had occurred there that morning I sent for this man Isha related to me as near as I can recollect the following circumstances he said that at about the beginning of the Fourth Watch they saw a soft and beautiful light over the sebulture he at first thought that the woman had come to involve the body of Jesus as was their custom but he could not see how they have gotten through the guards while these thoughts were passing through his mind behold the

whole place were lighted up and there seemed to be crowds of the Dead in their grave clothes all seem to be shortened and filled with the ecstasy while all around and above was the most beautiful music he had ever heard and the whole air seemed to be full of voices praising God at this time there seemed to be a reeling against swimming of the earth so that he turned so sick and faint that he could not stand on his feet he said the Earth seemed to swim from under him and his senses left him so

that he knew not what did occur I asked him in what condition he was when he came to himself he said he was lying on the ground with his face down I asked him if he could not have been mistaken as to the light was it not day that was coming in the East he said at first he thought of that but at the Stone's cast it was exceedingly dark and then he remembered it was too early for day I asked him if his dizziness might not have come from being waken up and getting up

to suddenly as it sometimes had that effect he said he was not and had not been asleep all night as the penalty was death for him to sleep on duty he said he had led some of the soldiers sleep at that time some were asleep then I asked him how long the scene lasted he said he did not know but he thought nearly an hour he said it was hid by the light of day I asked him if he went to the sepulture after he had come to himself he said no because he was afraid

the just as soon as relief came they all went to their quarters I asked him if he had been questioned by the priests he said he had they wanted him to say it was an earthquake and that they were asleep and offered him money to say that the disciples came and stole Jesus but he saw no disciples he did not know that the body was gone until he was told asking what was the private opinion of those priests he had conversed with he said that some of them thought that Jesus was no man that he

was not a human being that he was not a son of Mary but he was not the same that was said to be born of the virgin in Bethlehem that the same person had been on Earth before with Abraham and lot and at many times at places it seems to me that if the Jewish Theory be true these conclusions are correct for they are in accord with this man's life it is known and testified by both friends and foes for the elements were no more in his hands than the clay in the hands of the

water he could convert water into wine he could change death into life disease into Health he could calm the Seas still the storms call up fish with a silver coin in its mouth now I say if he could do all these things which he did and many more as the Jews all testified and it was doing these things that created this enmity against him he was not charged with criminal offenses nor was he charged with violating any law not of wronging any individual in person and all these facts are known to thousands as well by

his foes and by his friends I am almost ready to say as it manual us at the cross truly this was the son of God now Noble Sovereign this is as near the facts in this case as I can arrive with and I have taken pains to make the statement very full so that you may judge of my conduct upon the whole as I hear that antibody has said many hard things of me in this matter with the promise of faithfulness and good wishes to my Noble Sovereign I am your most obedient servant aren't you
