They had respect for him because of his age and reputation and argued, “What harm is there and saying, ‘Caesar is Lord,’ and burning incense… And saving yourself?” But Polycarp answered, “For 86 years I have seen been Christ’s slave, and he has done me no wrong; how can I blaspheme my king who saved me?”
