John 20:27 Then said he to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side… A gentleman who assisted the Countess of Huntingdon in the management of Spa-fields Chapel, called upon her one day, to expostulate with her on the impropriety of entering into engagements without having the means of honourably fulfilling them. Before he left the house her letters arrived. As she opened one her countenance brightened, and her tears began to flow; the letter was to this effect, "An individual, who has heard of Lady Huntingdon's exertions to spread the gospel, requests her acceptance of the enclosed draft to assist her in the laudable undertaking." The draft was for five hundred pounds — the exact sum for which she stood engaged. "Here," said she, "take it, and pay for the chapel, and be no longer faithless, but believing." Parallel Verses KJV: Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. |
