Hi everyone,

Here is a game where you look up the previous poster's scriptural reference, post it and then leave your own reference.

I'm sure many have a good deal memorized, but you can use http://www.biblegateway.com to look up ones we might not be so familiar with.

I use the King James version, but you can use the version of your choice.

Try and use a single verse of scripture folks, but I guess there are occasions where you might want to use more than one, that's fine.

(Now... there is no "scoring" per se, all for fun and education and everyone's a winner! )

Okay, the first verse of scripture is Matthew 3:17.

Thanks in advance for your post everyone and God Bless!

1Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,

2And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.

3And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.

4The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.

5Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.

6And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
