Alexa had awoken with the sun each morning on their vacation. Jetlag and the changes in her schedule were distracting enough to send her stirring at an earlier hour than Salvatore, so she used the time to study Scripture. She and Salvatore had taken a few journeys into the nearby towns, and although they had no neighbors to observe, she knew the villages were waking with the dawn. Pulling her blanket tighter around her shoulders, she stared at the passage before her. Proverbs 28:13 re

"And trust me, it's getting cooler and I am getting interested and all the way in." Mercury said moving closer to the statue to have a good sight of it. "Be careful." I told her as she tried to touch it. Then she found some words carved in the book held by the soldier. "Okay. What do we have here, another Viking writing. Let's see what it says" I came close to have a look. "Hebrews chapter six versus nineteen. The blue walls?" Mercury read out as she looked at me in confusion. "The Bible. You must have one Mercury, you have a book shelf don't you?"

Timotheus snatched the Bible from Ferran’s hand and opened it as if he was so familiar with the book. “John 3:16… John 3:16…” Timotheus opened the Bible and saw the highlighted verse. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He read. “What about the numbers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21?” Czaquira asked. “Maybe the words?” Timotheus was confused for a while.

“Hmm, the book seems to listen to commands spoken aloud… or not necessarily aloud, but in her native language. But something is missing ... Only one word did not keep her in obedience. Acting more on a whim, he concentrated and, by an effort of will, tingled in his palms, signifying the awakening of power.

Feeling invisible sparks dancing on his fingertips, Lorenzo turned his gaze to the page and began to read aloud. It turned out slowly and with difficulty, but the inquisitor did not give up. Five minutes later, when he had ov

"Mister Darryl?" Darryl felt Yalena's joy as he stood by the door and he smiled slightly. "Your Highness was looking for me so late at night? What's the matter?" Yalena smiled and invited Darryl to enter as she said, "Mister Darryl, you wanted to read the Holy Jade Scripture, right? It’s right here!" As she spoke, Yalena pointed to the balance of half a volume of the Holy Jade Scripture on the table. Darryl picked it up and started to read it carefully.

Richard said as he looked at me and back at the fire, sucking on his pipe. “Are you ready?” Ben sat on the sofa beside me, and the cushions threatened to swallow us both into its comfort. Was I ready? Ready for what? He reached to pick up the King James Bible. Beneath it was various other books, none that I recognized except a translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Gospel acclamation. Finally, Henry returned to the center of the altar to read the Gospel. "A reading from the holy Gospel according to John..." "Glory to you, O Lord." Henry read the Gospel passage...something about bread of life, about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. The irony wasn't lost on Veronica, considering what was about to happen. When the Gospel ended, Henry said: "The Gospel of the Lord." "Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ." And then: "Please be seated for the homily."

“I’ll help ya to your room.” Roslyn went to her room after helping David settled in his room; they skipped their usual night devotion because neither of them is in the right state of mind. David sat on the edge of his bed with the holy bible lying next to him; he wanted to read the scripture so badly, but he worried he wouldn’t know what exactly to read. The last time he’d read the scripture was fourteen years ago, when he was still a young teenager. David meticulously picked the bible and opened it page by page until he got to the book of Nahum 3:19.

With that, she picked up the book Holly assumed was a Bible, paged through it, and began reading passages from it. Holly was still trying to make sense of everything—since she understood very little Latin—when Rowena swiftly moved along, snapping the book shut before pouring the wine into the two chalices. She instructed her and Andrei to drink from each other's glasses and repeat their vows after her.

she said, which made Hazel grin. ~⁠♡⁠♡~ There was silence in the house. He broke it, stepping inside, his heel-clicking against the floor. The light was spread but not enough to cover every corner of the place. He let out a sigh of relief.
