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?

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.

Will ye stand again and judge this people, and condemn our law?

If ye have such great power

why do ye not deliver yourselves?
