Why should My rich Simon of Bethany who has travelled in India, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, Spain, Rome, Athens, not know something also of which you have never dreamed? If it be thus, with what right can you accuse him of ignorance? But I declare to you that his judgment is quite correct, and therefore, because of his large sum of money, you ought to do what he demands of you. – Three Days in the Temple, Chapter 3, Paragraph 17
