Someone Mariam loved invited her to join in telling a lie under oath. Mariam wrestled with her conscience until she eventually declined. She was sad at being placed in such a quandary.
Mariam told the Rabbi, "I can't call on God to bear witness to a lie, otherwise it would mean that ..."
Rabbi Jesus said, "... the love of man supercedes your love of God."
Don't commit perjury. At our judgement we will be called to answer before God for such a deed.
