Servant: Mordecai, Queen Esther wonders why you are mourning in sackcloth and ashes. Mordecai:

Haman has gained permission to have all the Jews killed, both young and old, little children and women. Give Esther a copy of the decree, and have her plead with the king for her people.

Servant:

Mordecai wants you to go to the king and plead for your people

Esther:

Please take the message to Mordecai that I am afraid to go to the king without being called, for I will be killed unless the king holds out his golden scepter to me. The king has not requested to see me for thirty days, and I fear that I will displease him.

Servant:

(Hands a paper to Mordecai.)

Mordecai:

Tell Esther that she cannot escape death as a Jew just because she lives in the king’s house. I ask again for her to plead with the king for her people. Perhaps this is the very reason the Lord has permitted Esther to be queen—that she might save her people.

Servant:

Mordecai asks again that you plead for your people.

Esther:

Have Mordecai and the Jews fast for me for three days, night and day. My maidens and I will also fast. I will go before the king, and if I perish, I perish

King:

(Raises scepter and smiles.) What do you want, Esther? I will give you what you want up to half of my kingdom
