The
five hundred saw him
after,
whether all at once
or
singly or in groups
does
not concern us here,
only
that five hundred
in
a span of time, a span
of
forty days, translated
from
bystanders to witnesses
He
spoke, they listened
he
preached, they heeded
he
talked, they received
he
spoke, they stood
they
took their stand
they
believed
they
held firm
they
were taught
they
spoke
others
listened

ReplyDeleteGY ... Wow ... love it. this is great ... love the way it flows and love the piece of the "message" that is often left out.
ReplyDeleteHE still speaks...
ReplyDeletedo we still listen, stand, believe, though we don't see?
Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. But blessed are those who haven’t seen me and believe anyway.” (John 20:29)
I like the meaning, the repetition, the format. Pat D.
ReplyDeleteGlynn ... reading this again. Really appreciate it. This is a great sentence, "translated
ReplyDeletefrom bystanders to witnesses"
Then the "he spoke, they listened" to the "they spoke ... others listened" ... just beautiful. fantastic, powerful.
