353, the eighth day of Jesus

The soldiers rushed towards Joshua with their weapons. Peter pulled out his sword and blocked him in front of him, swung his sword and cut half of a soldier's ear. John stopped Peter, walked over and reached out to brush his hand over the soldier's cheek, and the sword wound was miraculously healed. At this time, the soldiers had already surrounded him with chains, locked Joshua and took him down the mountain like a prisoner.

Joshua was taken to the home of the chief elder of the Temple of Arroho, the high priest Caiapha. Although it was late at night, the high priests of the temple came and decided to interrogate Joshua here overnight. While the crowds of people in the city had not completely dispersed, if the result of the interrogation was beneficial to them: announce the sins of Joshua before dawn, so that everyone can see the fate of Joshua: if the result of the interrogation is unfavorable to them, they will secretly detain Joshua and execute them after the pilgrims leave.

The disciples John and Peter followed the soldiers in the darkness and came to Caiaphas. John knew the maid of the high priest's house, but the maid was not sure that he was a disciple of Josu. John entered the courtyard through the side door, and he said to the maid, "Can my friends come in with you?"

"Yes." The maid nodded and looked at Peter under the light and said, "Aren't you a disciple of the man who was just captured?" Peter replied, "No, I'm not, I don't know him."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt chills and couldn't help but walk to the fire in the center of the courtyard. There were suddenly many people coming at night, mostly servants of the priests, and the courtyard was a little messy.

A man from the fire looked at Peter, frowned and said, "You look very much like the follower of the criminal who was just caught."

Peter shouted, "No, you recognize the wrong person, I don't know him at all!" While answering, he listened to the voice of interrogation in the room.

After a while, another priest servant next to him looked at Peter and said, "I have seen you in the square of the Temple. You are the follower of the criminal!" Peter denied, "I have told you that I don't know that person and I don't understand what you are talking about!"

As soon as the words finished, a rooster crow came and the sky in the east turned white. Peter suddenly remembered what Joseph said at dinner last night, "Before the rooster crowing tomorrow, you will say three times you don't know me." Peter just defended himself in his heart, pretending that he didn't know Joseph to come in to spy on the situation. At this time, he suddenly woke up and tears immediately flowed down.

At this time, the door of the interrogation room opened and Joshua was taken out. He saw Peter in the fire, his eyes calmly as if he was soothing with a power to soothe the spirit. Peter could no longer bear it. He felt that he had failed the most respected guide and ran out of the courtyard and cried bitterly on a secluded street corner.

On the night just passed, Joseph was interrogated. The process was not smooth at the beginning.

The priest accused Joshua of many crimes, including the accusation that Socrates or Aesop had been accused of blasphemy, corruption and poisoning the faith of the people.

They summoned many people who had listened to Joseph's preaching in the temple square to testify, but no testimony could prove that Joseph was guilty. John could recall every word he said, not even a syllable, and his answers in court were impeccable.

Finally, the high priest Caiaphas decided to ask in person. He asked, "Carpenter of Nashere, say the blasphemy words again in public. Please tell me... You are the Messiah in the prophecy of Elya, the Son and the Savior in the legend of the Lonelle." Joshua looked straight into the high priest's eyes and answered in public in a clear and clear voice for the first time, "Yes, I am!"

The high priest shouted, "This is your sin! God did not bring down the oracle in the temple. The criminals who were sacked always claimed that they would become God."

Joseph asked back, "Did God have sent down the oracle since you know that temple?" This sentence hit the nail on the head. Since David and Solomon removed the temple of the Aro River, Aro has never sent down the oracle in the temple. And the last oracle of Aro was given to the priests through the temples of Eju.

The high priest avoided the look of Joseph's direct look, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "How do you prove that you are the Messiah, locked in chains, and you who are being interrogated can save your destiny?, John asked back: "Why should I prove to you? In fact, I have proved that you just turned a blind eye! Oak asked who is qualified to issue a document to determine Michelia's identity?"

This sentence is extremely sharp. No court on earth can provide such proof. Even the high priests in the temple do not have the qualifications. Jesus said slowly: "This is not about who I claim to be, but whether I have spread some belief guidance. The light is in front of me who is blinded by the eyes but turns a blind eye."

The high priest once again stared at Joshua and said, "Okay, I will give you a chance to defend yourself. Are you the king that people are looking forward to? Will you give food to every elixir, lead them to build a powerful kingdom, and break away from Marro's rule to conquer the Tianshu continent?

If Joseph answered "yes", he would violate Marro's law, but the priests might not dare to hand him over to the Marros, because doing so would anger all the people who quit the cold. But if Joseph answered "yes", he would fall into the trap of the high priest and he denied the expected identity.

Only Joshua replied, "No, I am not that king." The high priest's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly, "What did you bring?" Joshua replied, "The gospel, only the gospel of God." At this time, the scene in the interrogation room was a little messy, and people shouted, "He is indeed a liar!", "A saint of the hearts of the people!", "That person should be executed!"

Someone also reminded: "Except for the king, only Governor Maro has the right to sentence him to death. The biggest irony is to let him be sentenced to death by Maro!"

Others shouted: "If the people think that Joseph should be executed, Governor Marro dare not resist the public's wishes. He handed him to the soldiers and took him to the streets to march, and asked those who were in the fore to personally ask him if he was a savior assigned by God? When he retreated from his halo and put on shackles and even he could not save himself, the people would wake up!" The high priest turned around and waved his hand, and said nothing, and Yosu was taken out by the soldiers. At this time, it happened to be dawn. The crowing sound of roosters came from a distance.

Pilate, the governor of the Marro Empire, who was stationed in the city of Selang, was awakened by the priests who came to ask for their visit early in the morning. The priests said to the governor: "There is a man named Joshua. He told the crowd that he had slandered people to stop people from paying taxes, and he also said that he was the king of Selangor."

If these charges are true, then there is no doubt that Joseph will be sentenced to death.

But the Governor knew very well that these were fabricated crimes, because he had long heard of the name of Joseph and even sent his servants to the square to listen to the preaching of Joseph.

Pilate once prayed to the gods of Olympus and asked how to deal with this matter. Zeus, the father of the gods, brought down the oracle and told him not to intervene like John the Baptist. Therefore, Governor Marro did not want to meddle in other people's business, and planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb and try to shirk as much as possible.

But at this moment, hundreds of people rushed from all over the place to surround the governor's mansion, waving his fists and shouting, "Execute Joshua, crucify him! Cruel him!" And more and more people gathered together.

The priests asked the soldiers to take Joseph to the square of the temple, and let a group of servants pretend to be a commoner to watch, and shouted loudly: "John, please tell us that you are the Messiah?" Joseph replied calmly and clearly: "Yes, I am."

The men asked again: "Will you give each of the Lengren people food, lead them to build a powerful kingdom, and break away from Marro's rule to conquer the entire Tianshu continent?"

John answered truthfully, “No, I am not that king.”

Everyone shouted again: "Then what have you brought to us?"

Joseph looked at the crowd with compassion and still replied calmly: "The gospel is only the gospel of God." These are the questions and answers he was asked during his interrogation. According to the instructions of the priests, everyone in the city of Sheleng heard it. Not only were some people yelling at Joseph in public in the square of the temple, but some people ran to every corner of the city, pretending to be high priests and Joseph to ask and answer each other, revealing the "true face of Joseph" to people.

The news soon spread throughout the city, and the pilgrims who were about to leave gathered again. Those appointed by the priests mixed in the crowd and shouted, "Everyone saw it, and they heard it. Joshua is a liar, he can only speak out!", "He can't give us anything, the savior in Elya's prophecy is definitely not him, he cannot even save himself!"

People were in a state of great enthusiasm and began to march in the Sheleng City. At first, it was just the hundreds of people assigned by the priests, but later more and more people were incited by them, and people gathered from all directions, just like a surging tide.

On the eighth day when Joseph entered the city of Leng, he did not preach the gospel of God to the people as the Son. He became a shameful criminal, swallowed up by the tide of resentment, and there were voices everywhere to kill him.

The human heart is so wonderful. The Son in their minds may only be a moment of a change of thought. When Joshua stood in the square of the temple to preach and was worshipped by all the people, he seemed to have a divine light invisibly: but when he was escorted by soldiers and marched with shackles, he was a despicable and shameful liar.
