"354.3 The servants of Christ were to prepare no set speech to present when brought to trial. Their preparation was to be made day by day in treasuring up the precious truths of God's word, and through prayer strengthening their faith. When they were brought into trial, the Holy Spirit would bring to their remembrance the very truths that would be needed. DA 355.1"
"And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say."
EGW directly refers to the concept of the Holy Spirit providing words in the moment of trial, which is the core message of Luke 12:11-12.
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."
EGW's statement about treasuring God's word aligns with the principle in Psalm 119:11 of hiding God's word in one's heart. While not a direct quote, the underlying principle of internalizing scripture is shared.
"A daily, earnest striving to know God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent, would bring power and efficiency to the soul. The knowledge obtained by diligent searching of the Scriptures would be flashed into the memory at the right time. But if any had neglected to acquaint themselves with the words of Christ, if they had never tested the power of His grace in trial, they could not expect that the Holy Spirit would bring His words to their remembrance. They were to serve God daily with undivided affection, and then trust Him. DA 355.2"
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
EGW directly alludes to John 17:3, emphasizing the importance of knowing God and Jesus Christ. The passage expands on this idea, connecting it to spiritual power and the ability to recall scripture.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."
Both passages emphasize the importance of God's word as a guide and source of enlightenment. EGW expands on the idea of diligent searching and the role of the Holy Spirit, but the core concept of the word as a 'lamp' or 'light' is present in both.
"So bitter would be the enmity to the gospel that even the tenderest earthly ties would be disregarded. The disciples of Christ would be betrayed to death by the members of their own households. “Ye shall be hated of all men for My name's sake,” He added; “but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Mark 13:13 . But He bade them not to expose themselves unnecessarily to persecution. He Himself often left one field of labor for another, in order to escape from those who were seeking His life. When He was rejected at Nazareth, and His own townsmen tried to kill Him, He went down to Capernaum, and there the people were astonished at His teaching; “for His word was with power.” Luke 4:32 . So His servants were not to be discouraged by persecution, but to seek a place where they could still labor for the salvation of souls. DA 355.3"
"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
Ellen White directly references Mark 13:13 in this passage.
"And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power."
Ellen White directly references Luke 4:32 in this passage.
"The servant is not above his master. The Prince of heaven was called Beelzebub, and His disciples will be misrepresented in like manner. But whatever the danger, Christ's followers must avow their principles. They should scorn concealment. They cannot remain uncommitted until assured of safety in confessing the truth. They are set as watchmen, to warn men of their peril. The truth received from Christ must be imparted to all, freely and openly. Jesus said, “What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” DA 355.4"
"The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord."
The EGW passage directly quotes and expands upon the principle stated in Matthew 10:24 regarding the relationship between a servant and his master.
