All this time the disguised spies of the governor Pilate observed him closely, but heard nothing to sustain the accusations formerly made against Issa by the chiefs of the cities. But Saint Issa's growing popularity did not allow Pilate to rest.
The girl Esmay ah, you could think that, too, of me. Yet it was natural enough." Constans would have spoken, but the words tripped on his tongue. Quinton Edge interrupted him imperiously. "She is there," he said, and pointed to a door leading to the interior apartments of the suite. "I could not leave Issa entirely alone on this last night. So I brought the girl here for once, she trusted me.
The manuscripts relate to us, first of all, according to the accounts given by merchants arriving from Judea in the same year when the death of Jesus occurred that a just man by the name of Issa, an Israelite, in spite of his being acquitted twice by the judges as being a man of God, was nevertheless put to death by the order of the Pagan governor, Pilate, who feared that he might take advantage of his great popularity to reestablish the kingdom of Israel and expel from the country its conquerors.
"You have told me that a son of Buddha, Issa, the elect among all, had spread your religion on the Earth. Who is he?" I asked. At this question the lama's eyes opened wide; he looked at me with astonishment and pronounced some words I could not catch, murmuring in an unintelligible way. "Issa," he finally replied, "is a great prophet, one of the first after the twenty-two Buddhas.
Thereupon the governor called a witness who had been bribed by his master, Pilate, to betray Issa, and this man said to Issa: "Is it not true that thou hast represented thyself as a King of Israel, when thou didst say that He who reigns in Heaven sent thee to prepare His people?"
Great numbers of persons came to visit the tomb, and the air was filled with their wailings and lamentations. Three days later, the governor sent his soldiers to remove Issa's body and bury it in some other place, for he feared a rebellion among the people. The next day, when the people came to the tomb, they found it open and empty, the body of Issa being gone.
There was no need for word to pass; reading the command in her lover's eyes, she slipped from her mother's detaining clasp and placed her hand in his. Now, Issa was exceeding fair to look upon, and Quinton Edge's blood stirred hotly within him. Then turning to his men, he made as though to send them from the house. But it was not to be.
'With hope, infinite hope beyond, said Arthur, trying to fortify himself. 'No, I cannot, cannot deny my Lord my Lord that bought me! 'We own Issa Ben Mariam for a Prophet, said Yusuf. 'But He is my only Master, my Redeemer, and God. No, come what may, I can never renounce Him, said Arthur with vehemence. 'Wed, awed, said Yusuf, 'maybe ye'll see in time what's for your gude.
All day long the bodies of Issa and the two robbers hung upon the crosses, bleeding, guarded by the soldiers. The people stood all around and the relatives of the executed prayed and wept. When the sun went down, Issa's tortures ended. He lost consciousness and his soul disengaged itself from the body, to reunite with God.
So she said the first part again in a firm tone, and I cheerfully repeated after her, 'There is no god but God. Then she continued, 'Mohammed is his prophet. I remained dumb. The coffee woman then called out, 'Issa was a prophet before Mohammed. They then asked me if Issa was my prophet. I could only say that He is, for my Arabic would not allow of a further profession of my faith.
