An Uncouth Messenger, But a Glorious Message
H. O. MacKey. John 1:22-23 Then said they to him, Who are you? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say you of yourself?… A lady, who was in Richmond at the time of the siege, tells of the delight with which she received a note torn from a soldier's pocketbook, and grimed all over with gunpowder; but which assured of the safety of the town. The medium was nothing; the message was everything. (H. O. MacKey.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? WEB: They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
