Acts 10:4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him… A poor man came one day to Michael Feneberg, the pastor of Seeg, in Bavaria, and bogged three crowns, that he might finish his journey. It was all that Feneberg had; but as he besought him earnestly in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus he gave it. Immediately afterwards he found himself in great outward need, and seeing no way of relief, he prayed, "Lord, I lent Thee three crowns; Thou hast not yet returned them, and Thou knowest how I need them. Lord, I pray Thee give them back." The same day brought a messenger with a money letter, which Gossner, his assistant, reached over to him, saying, "Here, father, is what you expended." It contained two hundred thalers, or about one hundred and fifty dollars, which the poor traveller had begged from a rich man for the vicar; and the childlike old man, in joyful amazement, cried out, "Ah, Lord, one dare ask nothing of Thee, for straightway, Thou makest one feel so much ashamed." (H. T. Williams.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. |
