Explanatory Note

It seems that his sarcasm shook them into some sort of reflection. “So they turned to themselves, saying, ‘Surely, it is you who are doing wrong.” This was a good sign: not only were they aware of the absurdity of their stance but also how wrong it was to worship such statues. For once it seemed possible that they would open their eyes and see how untenable their position was.
