"99.3 Here was a sermon which arrested the attention of all classes. Crowds came to gaze upon the drawings. None could fail to read the moral, and many were deeply impressed by the contrast between the meekness and humility of Christ the Master and the pride and arrogance of the pope, His professed servant. There was great commotion in Prague, and the strangers after a time found it necessary, for their own safety, to depart. But the lesson they had taught was not forgotten. The pictures made a deep impression on the mind of Huss and led him to a closer study of the Bible and of Wycliffe's writings. Though he was not prepared, even yet, to accept all the reforms advocated by Wycliffe, he saw more clearly the true character of the papacy, and with greater zeal denounced the pride, the ambition, and the corruption of the hierarchy. GC 100.1"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
The EGW passage highlights the contrast between Christ's meekness and the Pope's arrogance, directly echoing the principle taught in Matthew 11:29. The context of Huss's study further strengthens the connection.
"From Bohemia the light extended to Germany, for disturbances in the University of Prague caused the withdrawal of hundreds of German students. Many of them had received from Huss their first knowledge of the Bible, and on their return they spread the gospel in their fatherland. GC 100.2"
"Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word."
The EGW passage describes how students spread the gospel after being scattered, mirroring the event in Acts 8:4. The parallel is strong as both involve the dissemination of the word through dispersed individuals.
"Tidings of the work at Prague were carried to Rome, and Huss was soon summoned to appear before the pope. To obey would be to expose himself to certain death. The king and queen of Bohemia, the university, members of the nobility, and officers of the government united in an appeal to the pontiff that Huss be permitted to remain at Prague and to answer at Rome by deputy. Instead of granting this request, the pope proceeded to the trial and condemnation of Huss, and then declared the city of Prague to be under interdict. GC 100.3"
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men."
The core principle of obeying God rather than men is present in both passages. Huss's defiance of the Pope's summons, even at risk of death, mirrors the apostles' declaration in Acts 5:29.
