"The Queen of Narnia and Empress of the Lone Islands desires a safe conduct to come and speak with you," said the dwarf, " on a matter which is as much to your advantage as to hers."
"Queen of Narnia, indeed!" said Mr. Beaver. "Of all the cheek ---"
"Peace, Beaver," said Aslan. "All names will soon be restored to their proper owners. In the meantime we will not dispute about them."

...

"Oh," said Mr. Beaver. "So that's how you came to imagine yourself a queen -- because you were the Emperor's hangman. I see."
"Peace, Beaver," said Aslan, with a very low growl.
"And so," continued the Witch, "that human creature is mine. His life is forfeit to me. His blood is my property."

From C.S. Lewis's, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Caedmon's Call Cover of Rich Mullin's song: "Hope to carry on"

I can see Jesus hanging on a cross
I can see Jesus hanging on a cross
Oh, I can see Jesus hanging on a cross
He came looking for the lost

And love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And given me hope to carry on

I can hear Jesus saying Father forgive (Father forgive)
I can hear Jesus saying Father forgive (Father forgive them)
I can hear Jesus saying Father forgive
And what a thing He did

Love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And given me hope to carry on

And I can see love
Love is all I want to see
It can make a beggar rich
It can set a prisoner free
I know He can do it for you
God knows He did it for me

And I can see love
And love is all I want to show you
Love
Love's the only way to go
And love
But love is all a man might need to know
This I know

And you know Peter put away his sword
I can see Peter putting away his sword
Well I can see Peter put away his sword
He won't fight no more

Love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And given me hope to carry on
To carry on
To carry on

" 1When Jesus had spoken these words,(A) he went out with his disciples across(B) the Kidron Valley, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew(C) the place, for(D) Jesus often met there with his disciples. 3(E) So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus,(F) knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, (G) "Whom do you seek?" 5They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am he."[a] Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6(H) When Jesus[b] said to them, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground. 7So he asked them again, (I) "Whom do you seek?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 8Jesus answered, "I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go." 9(J) This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: "Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one." 10Then Simon Peter,(K) having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant[c] and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath;(L) shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?"
