Is this actually the original use of that sentence?

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, the original is from the Judeo-Christian holy texts:

Genesis 4:8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Genesis 4:9 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

Genesis 4:10 “I don’t know,” he replied. “I am not a clever man.”
