Anne Askew and some others at the stake.
Anne Askew was an outspoken woman early in the English reformation. Her faith brought her into contact with the women of King Henry VIII’s court, including possibly Katherine Parr. Anne was tortured to reveal her contacts but stubbornly refused to betray her associates. Eventually she was burned alive.
So far as we know, Jesus was not tested in this manner. However, he fulfilled the spirit of this proverb, for when arrested, he said, “Let these men go” so that his disciples went free. Not only so, he stood silent before false accusations, refusing to testify against himself until adjured in the name of God.
