John 7:1-18 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.… Some persons are so extremely particular as to where they begin to work for Christ that they lose much time in what they think is wise waiting for opportunities. But it was not so with Uncle John Vassar (the American colporteur). He would begin anywhere. One day a minister met him at the railway station and was about to take him home with him before commencing his work. Uncle John proposed that they should work on the way home. "But where shall we begin?" said the minister. "Oh," he replied, "let us begin at the station-master's." They did so, and before ten minutes had passed one poor discouraged backslider had opened her heart to the stranger's earnest appeals and was kneeling in true penitence at the throne of Divine mercy. (R. Brewin, "Lecture on Uncle John Vassar.") Parallel Verses KJV: After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. |
