Those sentences are perfectly precise. Yes they are sensitive to the commas, just as they are to the whitespace and spelling.
- 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.
