The priests left the miserable men, and all was still as death for a minute. A low solitary tap of the drum the firing parties came to the recover, and presently taking the time from the sword of the staff officer who had spoken, came down to the present, and fired a rattling, straggling volley.
At this time the Jews and the soldiers leading Jesus stood once more before the house of Pilate. Pilate, attended by his servants, soon appeared on the balcony.
