It is undeniable that the temple is a great focal point
-
for their celebrations, Father.
-
However, they thrive in their daily lives
-
due to the leadership of the high priest.
-
You have protected our sacrificial rites admirably
-
against the Nazarene's desire to sweep them away.
-
My one regret is that you involved the Governor.
-
It was necessary to call upon the full force of Roman law.
-
The Nazarene's crucifixion sends a message
-
to all who might challenge what we labor so hard to uphold.
-
You did the right thing.
-
That is open to question.
