“Gold and Silver have been the predominant currency for 4,500 years, but they became money in Lydia, in about 680 B.C. When they were minted into coins of equal weight in order to make trade easier and smoother. But it was when coinage first made its appearance in Athens that it truly flourished.” YearsFirstsHas BeensMadeOrderEasierEqualGoldWeightTradeAppearanceSilverCurrencyCoinsAthensGold And Silver Author:Michael Maloney
“When Christ was about to leave the world, He made His will. His soul He committed to His father; His body He bequeathed to Joseph to be decently interred; His clothes fell to the soldiers; His mother He left to the care of John; but what should He leave to His poor disciples that had left all for Him? Silver and gold He had none; but He left them that which was infinitely better, His peace.” WorldShouldMadeSoulBodyCareMotherFatherLeftPeaceChristPoorClothesGoldSoldierCommittedSilverDisciple Book:Bible commentary - Gospel of John Source: Bible commentary - Gospel of John
