A-Z: Common sayings from the Bible: Read, mark, learn and inwardly digest
Usage
An exhortation to pay attention.Definition
A prayer that the Christian might properly use and attend to God's Word, the Bible. The comma after 'hear them,' has been thought by some to have been added, and the original idea, for a predominantly illiterate people, to have been 'hear them read, mark ...' 'Grant that we may in such wise hear them [the Scriptures], read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word, we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of eternal life '' (Taken from the Book of Common Prayer, 1662, Collect for 2nd Sunday in Advent).Name originally given to disciples of Jesus by outsiders and gradually adopted by the Early Church.
The Bible describes God as the unique supreme being, creator and ruler of the universe.
The Christian Bible consists of the Old Testament scriptures inherited from Judaism, together with the New Testament, drawn from writings produced from c.40-125CE, which describe the life of Jesus and the establishment of the Christian church.
