Hast thou learned, Miriam, by which of the outer gates they go to the Temple?
MIRIAM
By the Susan Gate. I heard the servants say, as I crept by.
JOSAPHAT
And will the Roman soldiers be amongst them?
MIRIAM
That I did not hear.
JOSAPHAT
For if the Romans accompany them, we must wait behind the second gate; there where no heathen may penetrate at the cost of his head.
