New Testament

Luke Chapter 8

   

Christ and His twelve men, female-aided, preached all o'er:
To a crowd He spake the parable of the sow'r:
As seed sown battles birds, rocks, and thorns in its route,
The devil, trials, cares, stop God's Word bearing fruit.
Hidden things, Christ said, would one day be known abroad;
He hailed as His relatives those who obey God,
In ship, calmed a storm (awed His men!), then on shore ban
To swine "Legion" devils from a Gadarenes man.
As He went to sick twelve year old girl of Jairus,
Synagogue ruler, a woman faith-touched Jesus
On garment's hem - Her twelve year issue of blood stopped!
Meanwhile the girl died. Christ raised her, her parents shocked!
