Christ’s gospel is preached tonight, and this woman’s love will be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. It was part of a meal. It was no celebration.

It was well to feel such love, but it was...

And fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
