Luke 23:27-31 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.… One who knew Whitefield well, and attended his preaching more frequently, perhaps, than any other person, said he hardly ever knew him go through a sermon without weeping: his voice was often interrupted by his tears, which sometimes were so excessive as to stop him from proceeding for a few moments. "You blame me for weeping," he would say; "but how can I help it when you will not weep for yourselves, though your immortal souls are on the verge of destruction, and for aught you know, you are hearing your last sermon, and may never more have an opportunity to have Christ offered to you?" (J. R. Andrews.) Parallel Verses KJV: And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.WEB: A great multitude of the people followed him, including women who also mourned and lamented him. |
