Testament

Famous quotes containing the word testament:

—Olympia Brown (1835–1900)

“Touch me not.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in John, 20:17.

“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
