  1. Crossing the Sea

    Share Share Post
    A man wanted to cross the Sea of Galilee. Our Lord crossed it walking and he wanted to do the same; but he couldn't. So he hired a boatman to bring him over.
    The boatman brought him over and the man asked, "What will you charge if you bring me back again."
    "£5," said the boatman. "I don't wonder our Lord crossed it walking it if he had to pay that," said the man.
