Bible Note: Tom, This passage may fall into the category of those referred to in John 21:25 and was preserved only in the oral tradition of the Church except in Pauls' reference to it. The commentaries I have often identifiy these odd passaged you are looking for when they are found in the Apochryphal books that are still know to us, but the phrase you are looking for is not among them. So back to John 21:25 I think. Here is an interesting related passage from one of the wisdom books found in Catholic, but not Protestant Bibles. However, I do not think it is what you are looking for. "Let not your hand be open to receive and clenched when it is time to give." (Sirach 4:31) Good luck. Emmaus |
