John 5:31-40 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.… A business man sat at his fireside in the city. Near by him, playing on the floor, was his only child, a beautiful little boy. It was early in the morning. The day's task was not begun, and while waiting for his breakfast the father took up the daily paper to read. The dear child came and climbed up on his father's knee, and, laying his hand gently on the paper, looked lovingly up into his face and said, "No, no, papa, Bible first, Bible first, papa." Very soon after this dear child was taken sick, and died. As that father stood by the coffin in which his dead darling lay, and when he laid him in the grave, he seemed to hear his gentle voice repeating those simple words, "No, no, papa, Bible first." He never forgot those words. They were ringing in his ears all the time. lie made them the rule of his life. Parallel Verses KJV: If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. |
