“Why then,” they asked Him, “did Moses command us to give divorce papers and to send her away?”

Then Peter responded to Him, “Look, we have left everything and followed You. So what will there be for us?”

and said, “Prophesy to us, Messiah! Who hit You?”

“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said.“What’s that to us?” they said. “See to it yourself!”

They answered Him, “Allow us to sit at Your right and at Your left in Your glory.”

“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaves his wife behind, and leaves no child, his brother should take the wife and produce offspring for his brother.
