“This is where your search has brought you, Balthasar. He gave me...”

Judah

This is where your search has brought you, Balthasar. He gave me water... and a heart to live. What has He done to merit this?

Balthasar

He has taken the world of our sins onto Himself. To this end He said He was born, in that stable, where I first saw Him. For this cause, He came into the world.

Judah

For this death?

Balthasar

For this beginning.
