Roman soldier. What is annoyance: much time to prepare this rebellion and

to appear into this jail!

What happened to me before this time?

I rushed at a Roman soldier who had fallen behind the convoy

and I plunged my knife in his back.

Two my friends attaked this convoy but they were killed.

The convoy took me to this prison of the Roman Praetorium in Fortress

Antony.

The boss of this prison called me — "lestes", — a robber. I called my name.

The boss was diktating my signs to clerk :

" this robber has 30 years old, his hair is black, scar under left eye,

dark red beard, dressed in a brown coat,barefoot".

An execution awaits me.

How I can be free myself and how I can destroy the Romans?

Var-Abah:

Hello! Who are you? What is your name?

Voice of Jesus:

Hello, Var-Aba! My real name is Krist. This name cames from the name

of the God Krishna. But people are calling me Yeshu.

I wanted to lead people to new Kindom and study them to love each other.

Var-Abah:

How has he known my name?

I know too much crazy people that named rulers and kings but this man

seemed to me very interested.

Voice of Jesus:

I know your past and future.

I was leaded people to fight for fridom! Nobody give us a liberation!

We will achieve it by our hand only! We must kill Roman soldiers!

May be he is crazy man.

Voice of Jesus:

Why you need to kill people? They obey their superiors.

Var-Abah:

He is reading my thoughts.

Do you not understand that this is the only way to win freedom?

Voice of Jesus:

I want to convert all people. I will open big secret for you: every human

been has Divine All-pervading Energy of Love. It is sleeping inside him from

the moment of birth.

forehead in every my disciple.

I think that I need to calm down this crazy man. He can make a fuss.

And guard soldiers can beat us.

Voice of Jesus:

No, I'm not crazy.You can't understand that I told to you.

My be do you wand I awakened this Energy into you?
