[ crying ] what shall we do? have the guards take him away? we re enacting a law. i want you to provoke him. we stand here, ready to enact the law of moses. an adulteress condemned by the high court of the temple is to be stoned, a punishment called for by moses. do you deny the law revealed on mount sinai? she has sinned and been judged. do you oppose the law of the torah? is his silence a defense of her fornications, her harlotry? i know you, jesus of nazareth.
