Matthew 8:23-27 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.… A certain noble family of England, which gained its position by the victories of an ancestor at sea, has for its motto the single word — Tilers. That word is a nautical term of command, which means that the steerman is to keep the ship's head straight on the course which she is sailing. This is the true motto for a Christian. Let him keep his course straightforward, through the storm and tempest, through dangers and difficulties, steering the course of DUTY, with Jesus as his companion and his guide. (Wilmot Buxton.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. |
