Question

Do you feel that the peasant deserved the plate of gold ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

God chose the simple peasant as the most deserving of the plate of gold because he showed genuine compassion towards the poor, sore blind man whom all had shunned.

Answer 2

Answer:

It was written on the plate that it was a gift from heaven to him who loved the most. People from all walks of life would assemble to claim the plate as the priests had proclaimed that it would be bestowed on the one who would prove to be the most merciful and virtuous of the lot.
