He forgives them, without being sure that they will respond by changing their behavior. (...) This forgiveness offered is unconditional. Its therapeutic activity does not follow the paths of the [Jewish] Law : to define the fault, to call for repentance, to obtain a change and to obtain a forgiveness conditioned to a subsequent positive response. [i.e. as John the Baptist does.] (...) No one has ever given on earth a more gratuitous and absolute signal (...)
