Famous quotes containing the word gospel:

    “A good man was ther of religioun,
    And was a poure persoun of a toun,
    But riche he was of hooly thoght and werk.
    He was also a lerned man, a clerk,
    That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche.
    His parisshens devoutly wolde he teche.”
    —Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
