Susanna

Susanna was a beautiful young woman who lived in Babylon during the time of the prophet Daniel. She was married to a man named Joachim, and they had two children. One day, two of the elders of the city saw Susanna bathing in her garden. They were filled with lust for her, and they decided to accuse her of adultery. They went to the judges and told them that they had seen Susanna commit adultery with a young man. The judges ordered Susanna to be put on trial. She was brought before the judges and asked to defend herself. Susanna told the judges that she was innocent, but they did not believe her. They sentenced her to death. Daniel, who was a young man at the time, heard about Susanna's trial. He knew that she was innocent, and he decided to help her. He went to the judges and asked them to give him time to investigate the case. The judges agreed, and Daniel went to see Susanna's servants. He asked them if they had seen Susanna commit adultery. The servants told Daniel that they had not seen Susanna commit adultery, and they testified that she was innocent. Daniel went back to the judges and told them what the servants had said. The judges realized that they had made a mistake
