埋葬

• 26: The Burial

イエシュを処刑するという取り返しのつかぬ事をして、ピラトは悔恨の念にさいなまれる。
It was clear to him that that afternoon he had lost something irretrievably, and that he now wanted to make up for the loss by some petty, worthless and, above all, belated actions.
その間、シークレットサービスのミッションは成功。あざやかなお手並みのアフラーニイ…情報局ってこんな風に公式発表して真相を闇に葬るのね(^◇^;)
イエシュの遺体を隠し持っていたレヴィ・マトヴェイを説得して、他の二人と共に丁重に埋葬。ピラトのもとへつれてこられて、かたくなな態度をとるレヴィに、
'I know you concider yourself a disciple of Yeshua, but I can tell you that you learned nothing of what he taught you. For if you had, you would certainly take something from me. Bear in mind that before he died he said he did not blame anyone. And he himself would surely have taken something. You are cruel, and he was not cruel.'
ユダに復讐するのもかなわなくなったレヴィは、イェシュの言行を記録する羊皮紙を一片所望した。
