Luke 10:38-42 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village… There is a story in Foxe's "Book of Martyrs" of a woman who, when she came to be tried for her religion before the Bishop, was threatened by him that he would take away her husband from her. "Christ," was her reply, "is my husband." "I will take away thy child," said he. "Christ," said she, "is better to me than ten sons." "I will strip thee," said he, "of all outward comforts." And again came the answer, "Yes, but Christ is mine, and you cannot strip me of Him." (W. Baxendale.). Parallel Verses KJV: Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. |
