Footnotes1 = WSLB 126, dated July 11, 1912. 2 Matthew 19.14, “Lasset die Kinder und wehret ihnen nicht, zu mir zu kommen; denn solchen gehört das Himmelreich.“ (Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these – NIV; better known as “Suffer the little children to come unto me ...”) 3 A hole punched in the original document has obscure the word. Fragments of the first and last letters remain, and suggest the proposed solution. |
