John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. When Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, came out of the Tower of London and saw the scaffold on which he was to be beheaded, he took out of his pocket a Greek Testament, and, looking up to heaven, he exclaimed, "Now, oh Lord, direct to some passage which may support me through this awful scene." He opened the book and his eye glanced at this text. He instantly closed it and said, "Praised be the Lord! this is sufficient for me and for eternity." (W. Baxendale.)
