“I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you”—(The disciple)

Jesus the Son of God, Himself God.

(The Gospel History, Section 79)

I have many things to speak and judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

“I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you”

(The disciple)

(The Saviour of the World, Vol V Book IV Poem XLI)

With me, hast Thou a controversy, Lord?
Hast many things to say concerning me?
Must I stand prisoner, catechised by Thee—
Is this the import of Thine awful word?

Wouldst know how I have treated all those friends—
Scattered like flowers along my way of life—
This, slighted, this one injured, this, in strife,
Hurt by my hard pursuing of mine ends?

Wouldst Thou inquire of those words I’ve heard,
Still waking morn by morn my callous ear,—
Cold to Thy counsels, all too quick to hear
Unseemly words;—seldom by Thee deterr’d!

Good Lord, come now in judgment—now draw near;
Ere the last Day, speak Thou,—and make me hear!

St. John viii. 26.
