After Luke 4:14-30
Outraged by his words,
furious he would
suggest that others
were worthy of love,
they resorted
to violence, dragging
him out of town,
this man they knew,
the carpenter’s son,
the man whom they
believed had blasphemed
because he suggested
others had gained
God’s favor. They drove
him to the hilltop,
prepared to cast him
down, prepared to kill,
but he simply moved
their midst, away
from the cliff, away
from the hilltop,
and went away.
