Bible Note: Scripture ... Pro 14:12, 16:25 ... MiriamDamarisy, greetings, If one bore his own cross, he was on his way to die. This was clearly understood by the hearers of Jesus' day. Later, including today, we have added our own items. I do not like the Amplified's translation of this verse. In addition to what Kalos wrote, Pro 14:12 says "There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." This is repeated in Pro 16:25. Study what the bearing a cross meant in His day. Searcher |
