Religion
Matthew 16:21: The rich and great in every age
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The rich and great in every age
Conspire to persecute their God,
Ambitious priests against Him rage.
And scribes, of empty learning proud,
They grieve Him by His members' pain,
And scourge, and crucify again.
