Esther 3:3-5

Common English Bible

³ So the royal workers at the King’s Gate said to Mordecai, “Why don’t you obey the king’s order?” ⁴ Day after day they questioned him, but he paid no attention to them. So they let Haman know about it just to see whether or not Mordecai’s words would hold true.^[a] (He had told them that he was a Jew.) ⁵ When Haman himself saw that Mordecai didn’t kneel or bow down to him, he became very angry.
