your hair short why do you wear a boy's

garment my daughter you're the first to

call me daughter but perhaps not the

first to know you're fine garment will

attract thieves they are everywhere they

prey on all except beggars and rags and

dirty camera boys you are running away

the morning off yesterday said where you

were up there with all those shuttle

fanatics and you've been acting funny

for three weeks

were you there weren't you yes I was

there okay what did you make of him was

all very strange what's so strange about

it speak up he did not speak in a loud

voice not the way the scribes speak he

seemed to be speaking to each person

even to me yes.

It was as if he was speaking directly

and only to me and no one has ever

talked like that I don't care about his

talk what did he do

I told you you would not believe it I

will believe it John honestly I will

boys boy Jana gone there was a man with

a paralyzed arm he cured the man's arm

right before our eyes it was well and

strong just like his good on ah I don't

believe it

the father Jonas if he were alive he

would believe it he was the most

religious man in town yes he was

religious on my money and you thought

religion spoke at 8:00 it stuffed down

my throat but if you think I'm gonna

have any of my crew wallowing and

blubbering around in a daze like a sick

fish you're mistaken

now if you want to go on working for me

you won't go near that preacher again

I'm going to seem the very first chance

I get

well your chances now I don't need you

anymore what you around.

Livie can cure you of a clump near a man

shouldn't have done that

John has a right to believe and think

anything he wants and so love I owe to

mitten ears instead of one he what's

good for John is good for you yeah

then here it is

you've done a wicked thing with your bad

temper yeah you say that because of your

sons why they started working for you

when they were only 12 years old

their own brother they love you how they

mean that much like it and now you

tricked them this way you want to be a

shape you're better goes up the out

something about you you're a girl yes I

am well

in the chest you'll find some clothes

that belong to my daughter you might

enjoy looking like a girl again oh yes I

would thank you why are you attired as a

guarantee because tonight all our guests

are Galileans influential Galileans we

must present a picture of humility

serenity and domesticity don't

explicitly affirmed there is no need for

lavishing your intimate affections they

would not appreciate your seductive

talents you're not usually so concerned

but tonight I am has come to my is that

certain girly layers have prepared a

formal written protest to brawl against

me in my room then arrest the traitors.

I do not know.

There is something

something stirring in Galilee mystifying

unrest people are listening to strange

voices to a towering wild thing called

John John the Baptist now has come

another whom they call the Naza

Could he be the one born in Bethlehem on

the three wise men prophesied would

reign over all do you keep your rabble

rousers psilocin sailors from Salem and

bring an extra bonus on mine now what is

more this John the Baptist has gone down

the Jordan and to Pontius Pilate still

anxious.

Pilate Roman upstart and Tiberius chose

as governor Judi instead of you Bruner's

will you never face the truth ever since

my divorce Ivana broke our alliance with.

Arabia the emperor has changed advances

his own men instead of me why can we not

make use of our friends from Rome now on

their way to visit us every one of them

has influence with the Emperor we will

wine them cut them with every delicacy

convince them that you alone have

created a land of prosperity in this

wilderness then they will report to.
