Dominical saying

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dominical saying is a term (from the Latin word dominus) commonly used to describe a sentence attributed as the spoken words of Jesus. Most dominical sayings are direct quotations from one of the four Gospels. However, there is also at least one dominical saying quoted by Paul of Tarsus in the Book of Acts that does not appear verbatim in the Gospels: "... and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acts 20:35)
