-
You defy the temple and conspire to lead
-
the lost souls of this city astray.
-
What have you to say to this?
-
Answer me!
-
Out of respect for the learned elders of the sanhedrin,
-
we will not seek to defend our beliefs.
-
We only know them to be true.
-
There can be no defense or clarification
-
or mitigation of the truth -- it simply is.
-
And what is the truth?
-
That God raised jesus from the dead
-
to sit at his right hand as prince and savior.
