Hugo: My kingdom is no part of this world.

在充斥著“崇拜人的權威與權力的文化”的大紅龍帝國裡,某被大紅龍囚禁的盲眼奴隸對螢火蟲說,“當猶太全地都在羅馬的統治下,猶太人普遍的以種族尊嚴為理由,認為交稅給羅馬帝國是傷害祖國人感情的事,有人問耶穌應該不應該交稅給羅馬帝國?耶穌若說不應該交稅給羅馬帝國就是鼓吹抗稅犯了羅馬法律;若說應該交稅給羅馬帝國就做出傷害猶太人感情的事。耶穌就拿著羅馬帝國的錢幣問群眾錢幣上是誰的肖像,然後說:凱撒的物歸給凱撒;神的物歸給神。狡猾的耶穌沒有正面答覆問題!對猶太人民,他可以狡辯沒說過要交稅給羅馬帝國;對羅馬帝國,他可以狡辯說是主張要交稅。面對權力時耶穌是畏縮的,不是嗎?”

螢火蟲不同意地說,“主耶穌基督曾說,‘My kingdom is no part of this world. If my kingdom were part of this world, my attendants would have fought that I should not be delivered up to the Jews. But, as it is, my kingdom is not from this source.’(John 18:36)、‘Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father to supply me at this moment more than twelve legions of angels?’(Matthew 26:52-53),這些話你能理解嗎?主耶穌基督在彼拉多(John18:33-37)面前與面對即將被釘死在木架上的苦刑(John18:11)時,他為啥不畏縮呢?”
