[Summarize this chapter]

갑자기 애가 둘이네? ㅋㅋㅋNoa랑 Mozasu (모세라고함)를 이미 낳았음. Mozasu는 이삭의 애겠지? 노아는 한수 애고? 

일단 장이 시작되자마자! 이삭이 유치장에 가있다는 소식! 일본은 크리스찬들이 3.1운동 주도하고, 황실?일왕?에 반대하는 집단이라고 생각하나봄. 그래서 이삭도 교회에서 Hu라는 젊은 남자와 함께 잡혀갔음. 

그래서 다들 어떻게 그를 빠져나오게 할지 전전긍긍. 방법이 없음 ㅠ_ㅠ

마지막 장면이 노아야! 밥묵자! 하는 장면인데 친구가 한수가 구해주는거 아냐? 해서 오호호호호~~~ 일리 있다 생각함 ㅋㅋㅋ
