What I carry...

Some Israelites insulted Jesus one day as he walked through the
marketplace.
He answered them only by repeating prayers in their name.
Someone said to him, "You prayed for these men. Do you not feel
anger at their treatment of you?"
He answered, "I could spend only what I carry in my purse."
