JOHN
For what?
JAEL
That thou wouldest give them back their father; for see, they have no bread.
JOHN
[Lifting the children from their knees.] Just now we ate of the lamb in thy house, and thou sayest "we have no bread"?
JAEL
I do not speak of to-day; to-day the poorest have something to eat. Thou art truly a great prophet, Rabbi, and thou givest much to the people; but from us--from me and these little children--thou takest away all that we have.
JOHN
How could I do that, Jael?
