Graphic Bible · Scene 1 of 15

At the edge of a solemn public assembly, an adult Israelite who knows the disputed event stands tense and silent while an elder raises an open hand to call for witnesses. Nearby faces turn expectantly toward him; his lowered eyes and closed posture convey withheld testimony. No courtroom furniture, writing, supernatural figure, or violence.
