So I said to them, “Whoever has gold, take it off,” and they gave it to me. When I threw it into the fire, out came this calf! ’
He took the gold from them, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it into an image of a calf. Then they said, ‘Israel, these are your gods, who brought you up from the land of Egypt! ’
as it is written: There is no one righteous, not even one.
But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour? ’
And the Lord inflicted a plague on the people for what they did with the calf Aaron had made.
