I was amazed to hear this man,
“Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
As I listened, he laid the scriptures bare,
With authority and tender care.
Not like the scribes and Pharisees,
Focusing on the legalities.
He teaches beyond the mere words,
He strains out the way and brings the curd.
I have read the scriptures and understand,
That no one has ever taught like this man.
