Mr. Hale, a neighboring farmer, and his wife Mrs. Hale; the town sheriff, Henry Peters and his wife Mrs. Peters accompanied by the county attorney George Henderson had all made their way into the Wright’s home to look for evidence that could lead them to John Wright’s murder being solved. Throughout the play Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale had taken the time to psychologically analyze Mrs. Wright’s home and her actions she undertook before she was detained by police all while in the midst of trying to figure out what exactly had happened to her husband.

The first criterion to address is if there is eyewitness testimony. Bishop Papias, a man who lived during the apostolic era tells us the…

However, none of these men who spent time with Jesus chose to save their lives by denying their faith in Him. These men was showing zeal in the face of persecution (Jenkins, 2011). The martyr has let go of this world and embraced the new world that has been opened to him by the Lord, which is his final and eternal destiny (Kushiner, 2011).
