Matthew 21:28-32 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.… An eminent divine was suffering under chronic disease, and consulted three physicians. They declared, on being questioned by the sick man, that his disease would be followed by death in a shorter or longer time, according to the manner in which he lived; but they unanimously advised him to give up his office, because, in his situation, mental agitation would be fatal to him. "If," inquired the divine, "I give myself up to repose, how long, gentlemen, will you guarantee my life? Probably six years, "answered the doctors. "And if I continue in office? Three years at most." "Your servant, gentlemen," he replied, "I should prefer living two or three years in doing some good, to living six years in idleness." Parallel Verses KJV: But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. |
