:24:15
- Who is she?
- Her name is Miriam.
:24:18
You've seen my grandson.
Miriam is another on whom Jesus looked.
:24:23
Another miracle?
:24:26
lf you want to use the word.
:24:28
When she was 15,
she was struck down by paralysis.
:24:31
lt left her hopelessly crippled,
and hopelessly bitter about life.
:24:35
She ate herself away with hate and consumed
everyone with her envy and malice.
:24:49
- But she's still a cripple. She can't walk.
- No, she can't.
:24:52
lf he was such a magician,
why didn't he cure her?
:24:55
He did.
:24:57
l don't understand.
:25:00
- Have you had supper?
- No.
:25:02
Perhaps you will honour my poor house.
:25:06
Thank you.
:25:13
Then one day there was
a wedding here in Cana.
:25:16
The whole village took
part in it, all but Miriam.
:25:20
She stayed home and wept.
:25:22
A wedding, you see, when no man
would look at her and her twisted body.
:25:27
But when her parents returned to the house,
they found her, as she is now,
:25:31
as you saw her, smiling and singing.
:25:35
Was Jesus at the wedding?
:25:37
Yes. But he came late.
:25:41
So now she spends her time
singing fables about the man.
:25:44
But they're not fables.
:25:46
Surely you don't believe
that he rose from the dead?
:25:50
He lives more surely than we do.
:25:52
He's dead. And no moonstruck girl
can sing him back to life again.
:25:58
How do you know that he's dead?
