>He asked how much He owed.
>Finkelstein brushed him off:
>"No, no, no, for the Son of God ?
>There's no charge !
>However, may I ask for a small favor ?
>Whenever you give a sermon,
>perhaps you could just mention

>extolled the virtues of His Finkelstein robe
>whenever He spoke to the masses.

>while Jesus was again walking through Jerusalem,
>He happened to walk past Finkelstein's shop
>and noted a huge line of people
>waiting for Finkelstein's robes.

>to speak to him
>and as soon as Finkelstein spotted Him
>he said: "Jesus, Jesus, look what you've done for my business!
>Would you consider a partnership? "

>Here it comes...
