Judas
“They are unclean.”
“How can you tell, Ezra? That one looks like he might be breathing. We should be sure.”
I heard the voices, men’s voices, angry voices. My head buzzed like a beehive. I ached all over. Pain that failed to mask a sense of overwhelming foreboding.
“Alive or dead, Joseph, they are pagans. Look, the one in the ditch is not circumcised and this one, well, look at that hair. Did you ever see an Israelite with hair like that?”
“No, well not often but—”
“Even King David did not have ...hair like that. No, I think they are Romans or Samaritans. I think they have fallen into the hands of outlaws and if so, we do not want to be anywhere near them when the next patrol passes by.”
Patrol? What patrol? Who would be patrolling? The sun beat down on my back and I could not move my arm.
*** I tried to open my eyes but they were plastered shut. Pain radiated along my side and down my leg. I remembered something about a journey and painful legs, but this pain came from somewhere else.MoreLess
