Oh no it was a flashing yellow light.

Oh what a fright. This is the house of pilot. That's his wife. I think it's because whether it's asleep upon a brass knob bed I must find ways of preventing them from crucifying Jesus. They must not take things so far. I know his martyrs death would bring to y the FIM told this young upstart. So let me come softly here where the wife of the pilot. I whispered a few words in this and this. Yes I'm careful what I have to say no you're not way Lie still my dear I will not to ravish you walk excepting through the ear of your husband pilot now hold sway over the life and death of one who is a very holy and a saintly man.

Standing watch. Man plain Jesus walk on ahead beside him marches to censure again and by his other side his disciple John. Have pity on him. Let him rest awhile on his cross for many a cause but it must not be lowered from his shoulders.

Oh my son Oh my God. Unlike you I thank you very humbly that you did not entirely obey my own desire. In my human need I sow so fiercely to plead for things that cannot be your words now are true to me and your desire is wholly my own but human folly they were both kind and human. And proceed from the charity than grant us by God's grace. But you may die and he did. If I show died. A hard and bitter death then that it be in darkness and at night it shall be done beneath the noonday life and may you die is it a prince behoove us it shall be upon a cross between two thieves.

rebellion whether you win or no you. How do you describe I will not do it so I am on you I don't think you shall pay for this promise you do it and you will rue it. You think you'll get away from your bald may apply. We don't want to perform is unjustly put on me.
