Biblical Museum Acts 17:32-34 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter.… "This has been one of the worst nights," says Mr. Bampton, an Indian missionary, "I ever endured. Mockery! mockery! cruel mockery, almost unbearable! I talked for a while, and was heard by some, on the blessings to be enjoyed by faith in Christ, when a man came with a hell-hardened countenance, and that peculiar constant laugh which I can hardly bear. The burden of his cry was 'Juggernaut is the foundation! Juggernaut is completely God! Victory to Juggernaut!' He clapped his hands, he shouted, he laughed, and induced the rest, or a great part of them, to do the same. On the ground of reason I fear no one, and rage I commonly bear very well; but these everlasting laughing buffoons are nearly too much for me. It is my own great care, that amidst a reviling, laughing crowd, I do not seem abashed." (Biblical Museum.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. |
