JOHN

[In great agitation, scarcely audible.] Jesus of Nazareth!

JOSAPHAT AND MATTHIAS.

[Awed.] Jesus of Nazareth!

JOHN

Thou spakest His name first. Fear sealed my lips. But now thou hast said it. Yes, I mean Him.

FIRST GALILEAN

Yes ... I know His father well. He is an honest carpenter, and very pious too. He well deserves that his son should be a joy to him.

JOHN

Tell me more of Him.
