'Passing' in the Bible
When two blind men who were sitting by the roadside heard that Jesus was passing by, they shouted, "Have mercy on us, Lord, Son of David!"
But Philip found himself at Azotus. As he was passing through that region, he kept proclaiming the good news in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.
and those who use the things in the world as though they were not dependent on them. For the world in its present form is passing away.
I do not want to visit with you now just in passing, because I hope to spend a longer time with you if the Lord permits.
