- Verily I say unto thee today, shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.

- But when, Lord, when?!

- Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.

- Ahhhh.

> - Verily I say unto thee today, shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.

Shouldn't this one be "Verily I say unto thee today, thou shalt be with Me in Paradise?"

  • You're right of course, that is the grammatically correct way. I guess I was dangerously forcing my poetic license.

    But it's still a good example of where a comma (or lack of) can make all the difference.
