John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work. In the Californian bee pastures, on the sun days of summer, one may readily infer the time of day from the comparative energy of bee movements alone: drowsy and moderate in the cool of the morning, increasing in energy with the ascending sun, and at high noon thrilling and quivering in wild ecstasy, then gradually declining again to the stillness of night. Is it not, or should it not be, a picture of our life? (H. O. Mackey.) Parallel Verses KJV: I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. |
