the story of Martha page 12 by ric gustafson.


Martha was waiting for her brother to return from the city. He walked through the gate with a sad frown on his face.
" What happened my brother?".
Lazarus gave his sister a hug. " I found out that John the Baptist was beheaded by Herod".
" Wasn't he a cousin of the Rabbi Jesus?".
" Yes".
" What caused this?" asked Mary who had joined them in the courtyard.
" The daughter of Herodias danced for the King and he promised her anything that she asked for".
" Why would he do that?".
" She asked her mother and then asked the King for John's head on a platter".
" Brother, is there talk of killing the Rabbi Jesus?".
" Yes, there is".
