Lament over Jerusalem
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 See! Your house is left to you desolate; 39 for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

One of the most unusual testimonies about who Jesus was is expressed in a short sentence that wasn’t a legal sentence: “I find no fault in this man.” Consider the reactions of Pontius Pilate and his wife:

Ages of Dracula casts
This ask made me wonder how close past Dracula casts were to the ages of the characters as established in the novel. Looking at these adaptations:
Dracula (1931)
Horror of Dracula (1958)
Dracula (1974)
Count Dracula (1977)
Dracula (1979)
Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992)
Dracula (2020)
In some cases characters are merged or changed; I've associated each character with the person who comes closest to having the same name.
Jonathan Harker (early 20s)
Dracula (1931) - David Manners, 31
Horror of Dracula (1958) - John Van Eyssen, 36
Dracula (1974) - Murray Brown, 37
Count Dracula (1977) - Bosco Hogan, 28
Dracula (1979) - Trevor Eve, 28
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - Keanu Reeves, 28

On average, Jonathan Harker is cast as 32.
Mina Murray (early 20s)
Dracula (1931) - Helen Chandler, 25
Horror of Dracula (1958) - Melissa Stribling, 32
Dracula (1974) - Penelope Horner, 35

Count Dracula (1977) - Susan Penhaligon, 28
Dracula (1979) - Kate Nelligan, 29
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - Sadie Frost, 27
Dracula (2020) - Lydia West, 27
On average, Lucy Westenra is cast as 28.
Jack Seward (29)
Dracula (1931) - Herbert Bunston, 57 (aged up to be Mina's dad)
Horror of Dracula (1958) - Charles Lloyd-Pack, 56
Dracula (1974) - none
Count Dracula (1977) - Mark Burns, 41
Dracula (1979) - Donald Pleasence, 60 (Lucy's dad in this one)
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - Richard E Grant, 35
Dracula (2020) - Matthew Beard, 31
On average, Jack Seward is cast as 47, and also assigned Dad.

Lament over Jerusalem
“and upon Yerushalayim [abode of peace] who kills the prophets and removes those who are sent. How many times I wished to gather your children as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings and you would not”. “Therefore you will leave your houses desolate”. “Truly, I say to you, you will not see me from now on, until you will say: ‘Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) is he who comes in the Name of Yehovah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]’”.

KC Green
- very silly and colorful style, creator of the “this is fine” comic/meme
Issues: 6, "Bitters and the Witch", 31
Dave Crosland
- more detailed style, similar to Alexovich but a bit cleaner
Issues: 7, 8, 9, 10, 21, "Invasion!"
Sarah Andersen
- another very silly style, though simpler than KC’s, creator of the “Sarah Scribbles” webcomics
Issue: 11
Warren Wucinich

Sarah Graley
- ANOTHER silly style :3, this time more chibi than the others with flat colors
Issue: 26
Maddie C.
- i don’t know how to explain it but squishy, similar to the original style but instead of being mostly flat/sharp lines it’s more curvy (dib being the best example)
