Alma 14:19
And it came to pass that the judge stood before them, and said:
why do ye not answer the words of this people?
Know ye not that I have power to deliver you up unto the flames?
And he commanded them to speak; but they answered nothing.
Alma 14:20
And it came to pass that they departed and went their ways,
but came again on the morrow;
and the judge also smote them again on their cheeks.
And many came forth also, and smote them, saying:
Will ye stand again and judge this people, and condemn our law?
If ye have such great power
why do ye not deliver yourselves?
