Acts 13:2-13 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said… A gentleman once said to Dr. Skinner, who was asking aid for foreign missions, I don't believe in foreign missions. I won't give anything except to home missions. I want what I give to benefit my neighbours." "Well," the Doctor made reply, "whom do you regard as your neighbours?" "Why, those around me." "Do you mean those whose land joins yours?" "Yes." "Well," said Dr. Skinner, "how much land do you own?" "About five hundred acres," was the reply. "How far down do you own it?" inquired Dr. Skinner. "Why, I never thought of it before, but I suppose I am half-way through." "Exactly," said the Doctor; "I suppose you do, and I want this money for the Chinese — the men whose land joins yours at the bottom." Parallel Verses KJV: As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. |
