Perhaps the “Comfort Ye” aria from Handel’s Messiah?????
You’ve got the right composer and the right musical piece, but not the right aria/line. Hint – Paul quotes this same verse in the 10th Chapter of Romans . . .
ok, ok….”How Beautiful are Thy Feet”.
Correct. “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things.” Isaiah 52:7 and Romans 10:15. Bonus question: how many books of the Bible are quoted in Handel’s Messiah?
10 …. Isaiah, Haggai, Luke, John, Job, Romans, Hebrews, Revelation, Corinthians, Psalms
Low
I’d like to add Lamentations.
Yes, Lamentations 1:12. But you are still low.
ok, I give up.
Don’t give up. I’ll give you some hints: one book quotes Isaiah about naming a child; one book speaks of a refiner’s fire; another book tells of a righteous king proclaiming “peace to the nations”; and one tells of an easy yoke. Oh, one more hint – the number of hints may not be related to the number of remaining books.
23, in no particular order and probably not spelled correctly — John, Acts, Revelation, Jeremiah, Luke, I Corinthians, Isaiah, Malachi, Micah, Psalms, I Peter, Zechariah, Hebrews, mark, Matthew, I John, II Timothy, Ephesians, Daniel, II Corinthians, Job, Galatians, Lamentations.
Oops, make that 24. I forgot Romans.
Malachi, Zecharaiah, Matthew I have (added to Susan’s makes a total of 14). Mark, Jeremiah, 1 Peter, 1 John, 2 Timothy, Ephesians, Daniel, 2 Corinthians, Acts and Galations I don’t find (other than possibly quoting from other books — which the books in the Bible frequently do). Here’s one annotated libretto posted on Stanford U.’s website. This one may have to go to arbitration.
Methinks the teacher is correct about one book quoting another. Probably, some 18th century scholars counted them separately when looking it up in Wikipedia.
