Luke chapter 1 verse 36.
If the mothers Elizabeth and Mary were cousins, what relationship were their sons?
I've always gotten very confused about such questions,!

Thank you for letting me know! .:)
It works fine here, so it must have been something in the content of that particular post. I think there were numbers evolved, or something like that, lol.

There was a link embedded, but it should have read fine if all my other posts were okay...

Anyways, I will go with the darker shade of purple for now...

Perhaps this cut and paste will shed total light on it for you. Here is how much it would read aloud on many attempts, Here (<=
Perhaps it is simply the particular link ?? God bless you, now you know all, lol.

From Luke Chapter 1, verse 56 I see that Mary stayed 3 months with Elizabeth. Which means very likely she stayed for the birth of John the Baptist.
I never before realised such details.

They met at a potluck at First Baptist Church of Nazareth, and made a covenant to be besties forever by sharing the last piece off fish.
