John 8:38-47 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.… It is said of Mr. Haynes, the coloured preacher, that, some time after the publication of his sermon on the text, "Ye shall not surely die," two reckless young men having agreed together to try his wit, one of them said, "Father Haynes, have you heard the good news?" "No," said Mr. Haynes, "what is it?" It is great news indeed, said the other; and, if true, your business is gone. What is it? again inquired Mr. Haynes. Why, said the first, the devil is dead." In a moment the old gentleman replied, lifting up both hands, and placing them on the heads of the young men, and in a tone of solemn concern, "Oh, poor fatherless children! what will become of you?" (W. Baxendale.) Parallel Verses KJV: I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. |
