Jesus wept. Sarah laughed. Goliath walked, but David ran. The lame beggar leaped. King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face. The rich man dressed in purple. Jacob put sackcloth on his loins. The Apostle Paul correctly interpreted the body language of the Philippian jailer, cried out with a loud voice, and saved his life.
