Susanna and the Elders
"Susanna and the Elders" is a biblical story found in the Book of Daniel. It tells the tale of a beautiful woman named Susanna who is falsely accused of adultery by two elders. The elders attempt to blackmail her, but Susanna remains steadfast in her innocence and refuses to yield to their demands.
When the case is brought to trial, Daniel, a young prophet, intervenes. He cleverly questions the elders separately, revealing their contradictory testimonies. As a result, Susanna is exonerated, and the elders are punished for their deceit, highlighting themes of justice and virtue.
