Читать книгу Jack’s Passion - Bill Kinsella - Страница 6

The race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong,

Nor bread to the wise,

Nor riches to men of understanding,

Nor favor to men of skill;

But time and chance happen to them all,

For man also does not know his time:

Like fish taken in a cruel net,

Like birds caught in a snare,

So the sons of men are snared in an evil time,

When it falls suddenly upon them.

—Matthew 10:38

And he who does not take his cross and follow

after Me is not worthy of Me.

—Ecclesiastes 10:11–12
