JAEL
See; for a long time my husband goeth out every night to thee in the wilderness, and then the tools lie there idle, and we starve. But willingly would we starve and die of hunger for him, if thou hadst not estranged his heart from us, and stolen his love for thyself.
JOHN
Art thou, too, one of those who say, Greater than the law and sacrifice is love?
JAEL
[Anxiously.] I did not say that, Rabbi.... Thou wouldst not get me into trouble with the priests?
JOHN
But thou thinkst so in thy heart!
JAEL
Rabbi!
