Jesus and Menachem. Siegfried E. van Praag
bones, sunk deep into human flesh. Ben Nesher who towered above the rest, shattered the shoulders of many Romans with his battle-axe that day. Menachem forced himself to think of the slaughter in Nazareth and Israel’s future. Somehow there must still be a way. A way that was more righteous than sinful.
He heard himself muttering: “Thou shalt not murder—Thou shalt not murder,” and each time he said it, he thrust his dagger in the throat of an enemy, in the shoulder, in the belly, even once under the eye. “Thou shalt not murder.” What was it that made men blaspheme this commandment in God’s world? The perversity of sin. Would he ever reach the other side, would Israel ever reach the other side, would humanity someday arrive on the other side of sin, where there was no more murder? Menachem, one of the supplest, stooped, crawled between the legs of the combatants and plunged his dagger in the groins of a man who was battling Ben Nesher with his sword.
