Pilate reminds Jesus that He has been given up by His own people. Jews might be expected to stand by a fellow-Jew under the Roman tyranny. How comes it to pass that the Jewish people have brought a man of their own race to the foreign tribunal, prosecuting Him before this alien power, seeking His death from the hated Imperial government? What can He have done to bring about so unusual a situation?
The question was in his eye now as he summed up Italian art to the sculptor, and a faint smile twitching about his lips invited his fellow-Jew to share with him his feeling of spiritual and intellectual superiority to the poor blind Christians at his table, as well as to Christendom generally. But the artist refused to come up on the pedestal.
He saw the later accession of Peninsular refugees from the Inquisition, their shelter beneath the lion's wing negotiated through their fellow-Jew, Daniel Rodrigues, Consul of the Republic in Dalmatia. His mind halted a moment on this Daniel Rodrigues, an important skeleton.
By conversion, a Jew may escape the consequence of any misdeed against a fellow-Jew, for, to quote the Russian code, "in actions concerning Jews who have embraced Christianity Jews may not be admitted as witnesses, if any objection is raised against them as such."
Hordes of Jewish bandits sprang up who infested the roads and the inns, and by trickery or force made the travellers part with their passports and then dragged them to the recruiting stations as "captives" to be sent into the army. Never before had the Jewish masses, yielding to pressure from above, sunk to such depths of degradation. The Jew became a beast of prey to his fellow-Jew.
In the mean inn in which he halted for refreshment he was glad to encounter a fellow-Jew and one in companionable rags. Maimon made inquiries from him about the roads and whither they led, and gathered with some surprise that his companion was a professional Schnorrer. "Are not you?" asked the beggar, equally surprised. "Certainly not!" cried Maimon angrily.
The Almighty knows they are pure. 'Bravo! Well spoken! There was a burst of applause. Several marine-dealers shot out their hands and grasped Barzinsky's in admiration. 'Do not await me, gentlemen, he said importantly. 'Go in peace. 'Good afternoon, Mr. Samuels, said Solomon Barzinsky. 'Good afternoon, sir. What can I do for you? 'You you don't know me? I am a fellow-Jew.
And yet the fury of the Government was not satisfied. In 1853 new "temporary rules" were issued, "by way of experiment," whereby not only communities but also individuals among Jews were granted the right of offering as their substitutes any fellow-Jew from another city than his own who was caught without a passport.
