Matthew 27:54First Nations VersionWhen the head soldier of the People of Iron (Romans) and his soldiers who were guarding Creator Sets Free (Jesus) felt the earth shake and saw what was happening all around them, they trembled with fear and said, “This man must truly be the Son of the Great Spirit!” See the chapter |
They decided to send Small Man (Paul) by a great canoe to Land of Young Bulls (Italy). Village of Iron (Rome) was the head village of the Ruler of the People of Iron (Caesar) in the territory of Land of Young Bulls (Italy). So Small Man (Paul), along with some other prisoners, was turned over to a head soldier of the Royal Guard, named Soft Haired Man (Julius).
Creator Sets Free (Jesus) remained silent before all and said nothing to defend himself. Hollow in the Rock (Caiaphas) was frustrated! His face became red with anger, and his voice thundered. “On your honor before the living Creator I call on you to speak the truth!” he demanded. “Tell us whether you are the Chosen One, the Son of the Great Spirit!” The room became silent. Time seemed to stand still. The air was filled with tension as they waited for his answer. When he spoke, every ear and eye in the room were fixed on him, for he must now answer.
