Among them that are born
of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. ― Jesus of Nazareth At sentencing I stood. A dispensation is a fragile potential. We live as Caesar decreed― taxed with coin the cloth covets: a king’s garment bespotted by flame a lust for baptisms performed by the dead a blasphemy of prophets offering flattering speech. The king required beheading― let it be a two-edged sword. |
