[T]he Tempter came in with his delusion, That there was no way for me to know I had faith, but by trying to work some Miracle; urging those Scriptures that seem to look that way, for the enforcing and strengthening his Temptation. Nay, one day as I was betwixt Elstow and Bedford, the temptation was hot upon me, to try if I had Faith, by doing of some Miracle: which Miracle at that time was this, I must say to the Puddles that were in the horse-pads, Be dry; and to the dry places, Be you the Puddles. ...but just as I was about to speak, this thought came into my mind, But go under yonder Hedge and pray first, that God would make you able. But when I had concluded to pray, this came hot upon me, That if I prayed, and came again and tried to do it, and yet did nothing notwithstanding, then be sure I had no Faith, but was a Cast-away and lost. Nay, thought I, if it be so, I will never try... Thus I was tossed betwixt the Devil and my own Ignorance, and so perplexed... that I could not tell what to do.

Additional quotes by John Bunyan

Just as Christian came up to the Cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, fell from off his back, and began to tumble down the hill, and so it continued to do till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre. There it fell in, and I saw it no more!

No he leído que nunca ningún hombre le diera a Cristo ni siquiera una moneda; pero le siguieron mujeres, y dieron de lo que tenían. Fue una mujer quien lavó sus pies con lágrimas, y una mujer la que ungió su cuerpo para la sepultura. Fueron mujeres quienes lloraron cuando Él iba a la cruz, y mujeres las que le siguieron desde la cruz, y se sentaron al lado de su sepulcro cuando fue enterrado.292 Fueron mujeres quienes estuvieron primero con Él en la mañana de su resurrección, y mujeres las que llevaron por primera vez la noticia a sus discípulos de que había resucitado de la muerte.293 Las mujeres, por lo tanto, son muy favorecidas, y en estas cosas se muestra que son copartícipes con nosotros en la gracia de vida”.
