Luke 1:80 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his showing to Israel. St. Bernard said, in writing to a pious friend, "If you are seeking less to satisfy a vain curiosity than to get true wisdom, you will sooner find it in deserts than in books. The silence of the rocks and the pathless forests will teach you better than the eloquence of the most gifted men." ( Fenelon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. |
