He was cut to the quick, therefore, when two mesaeng s came from John with a wistful doubting ques- tion: “giro you really a prophet, as I told people that you are?" John asked. “instead of fasting you ban- quet. Instead of calling on men to abjure pleasure. you share their pleasures.

Jesus sent back his reply: “Go tell John what you have seen and heard," he said, "how the ‘blind see. lepers are cleansed snd the poor have the good news preached to them." It was a wonderful answer. but did it convince his friend? A few oil's castle. John paid the last great penalty for his idealism and cour- age. Jesus, when he heard of it.
