2:14
Now the table was furnished `` with fat things , and with wine that was well refined '' : and all their talk at the table was about the Lord of the hill ; as , namely , about what he had done , and wherefore he did what he did , and why he had builded that house . And by what they said , I perceived that he had been a great warrior , and had fought with and slain `` him that had the Power of death '' , but not without great danger to himself , which made me love him the more . -LSB- Heb . 2:14,15 -RSB- -LCB- 129 -RCB- For , as they said , and as I believe -LRB- said Christian -RRB- , he did it with the loss of much blood ; but that which put glory of grace into all he did , was , that he did it out of pure love to his country . And besides , there were some of them of the household that said they had been and spoke with him since he did die on the cross ; and they have attested that they had it from his own lips , that he is such a lover of poor pilgrims , that the like is not to be found from the east to the west . -LCB- 130 -RCB- They , moreover , gave an instance of what they affirmed , and that was , he had stripped himself of his glory , that he might do this for the poor ; and that they heard him say and affirm , `` that he would not dwell in the mountain of Zion alone . '' They said , moreover , that he had made many pilgrims princes , though by nature they were beggars born , and their original had been the dunghill .
