John 5:39

Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
