John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you: not as the world gives, give I to you. Let not your heart be troubled… A lady who passed through the terrors of the Vicksburg siege wrote the night after the surrender: "It is evening. All is still. Silence and night are once more united. H— is leaning back in his rocking chair. He says, 'G— , it seems to me I can hear the silence and feel it too. It wraps me like a soft garment; how else can I express this peace?'" (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. |
