It’s not Jesus. It’s the 12th Century teacher Peter Abelard who refused to be tempted by a prostitute. His students had hired the prostitute to test the piety of their teacher and he persevered through faith and prayer.

Not to mention his love for Heloise who later became his wife.

+1 for knowing Heloise and Abdelard.

You might say she served under him as a student. 🥸
