This great teacher of whom you speak.  Do you think it's possible he 
might be the Messiah?

Of course He's the Messiah.

Wonderful news!  He weill redeem Israel and...

And He's the Son of God.

The what?

The Messiah, who is the Son of God.  As it was prophesied.

No it wasn't.

Yes, it was.

Look, friend, I happen to be a learned man.  I've studied the Torah 
forwards and backwards (you know, left-to-right, like a stupid Roman) 
and there's nothing in it about the Messiah being the Son of God.

Sure there it.  It was hidden from us.

Hidden from us?

Like in Isaiah, where it talks about the virgin bearing a Child.

It doesn't say "virign".

It does in Greek.

Greeks!  To them "virgin" means she's never been screwed in her ....

Well, that's not the only one.  The Torah's full of prophecies about 
the Son of God.  We just missed them all until now.  Somehow.  Anyway, 
it's true.  He's the Messiah and He's God.

God?  I though you said (and that was plenty blasphemous enough) that 
he was God's son.

Both.

Both?

He's God and God's Son.  And the Messiah.  All of it.

And a floor wax.
