希律王︰祂令她復活？

I do not wish Him to do that. I forbid Him to do that. I suffer no man to raise the dead. This Man must be found and told that I forbid Him to raise the dead. Where is this Man at present?

希羅底︰讓他們閉口。我聽得十分厭煩。

第一拿撒勒人︰先知所說的話與西澤無關，陛下。

There be some who say that this man is Elias the prophet.

希律王︰西澤不會來這兒。他患有痛風。據說他的腳與大象一般粗。此外還有各領地的事務。他一離開羅馬城，就永遠失去了羅馬。他不會來這兒的。儘管如此，西澤是我們的主人，他可以隨心所欲來這兒。雖然，我並不認為他會來。

That cannot be. It is more than three hundred years since the days of the prophet Elias.

Nay; it was two blind men that He healed at Capernaum.

It is a title that C?sar adopts.

第二拿撒勒九九藏書人︰不，祂在迦百農治好的是盲人。

猶太人︰不可能。先知伊萊賈在世的時候，距今已超過三百年了。

撒都該人︰那不是天使。

希律王︰他指的是什麼？世界的救主？

撒都該人︰天使並不存在。

But C?sar is not coming into Jud?a. Only yesterday I received letters from Rome. They contained nothing concerning this matter. And you, Tigellinus, who were at Rome during the winter, you heard nothing concerning this matter, did you?

He was seen by a great multitude of people talking with angels.

The daughter of Jairus was dead. This Man raised her from the dead.

Sire, I heard nothing concerning the matter. I was but explaining the title. It is one of C?sars titles.

There is also the mirread.99csw.comacle of the daughter of Jairus.

Concerning whom then did he speak?

How! He raises people from the dead?

Behold the day is at hand, the day of the Lord, and I hear upon the mountains the feet of Him who shall be the Saviour of the world.

Angels do not exist.

Yea, sire; He raiseth the dead.

No, my lord.

Angels exist, but I do not believe that this Man has talked with them.

But C?sar cannot come. He is too gouty. They say that his feet are like the feet of an elephant. Also there are reasons of state. He who leaves Rome loses Rome. He will not come. Howbeit, C?sar is lord, he will come if such be his pleasure. Nevertheless, 九九藏書I think he will not come.

Messias hath not come.

Nay; they were lepers. But He hath healed blind people also, and He was seen on a mountain talking with angels.

希律王︰但西澤並不到猶太王國來。昨天我才收到羅馬方面的來信。他們不在意這邊的事情。而你，提格利奴斯，去年冬天你待在羅馬，你聽到這方面的消息嗎？

第一拿撒勒人︰不；他們是痲瘋病人。但祂也治好了盲人，另外祂還坐在山頂上與天使交談。

希律王︰我不希望祂這樣做。我禁止祂這樣做。我不允許任何人復活。必須找到這個人，告訴祂，我禁止祂讓死人復活。這個人現在何處？

HEROD

希律王︰但我聽人說，那位約翰就是你們的先知伊萊賈。

FIRST NAZARENE

第一拿撒勒人︰這人行真的神跡。於是，在加利利的小鎮婚禮中，祂將水變成了酒。許多出席的人都對我提過這件事。另外祂還治好了兩個坐在迦百農(Capernaum)門前的痲瘋病人，祂只不過用手碰觸了他們。

猶太人︰彌賽亞沒有來。

What read.99csw.comdoes that mean? The Saviour of the world?

提格利奴斯︰陛下，我完全未曾聽說。我只解釋這個稱號。那是西澤所用的頭銜之一。

It was not concerning C?sar that the prophet spake these words, sire.

Those men are mad. They have looked too long on the moon. Command them to be silent.
