1 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | Ray | 25895 | ||
Hi djconklin, The bottom line is that the Greek and the Hebrew both leave it up to the reader for the capitalization. Does anyone care to offer up praise for the Son? John 8:23, "And He was saying to them, 'You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." You can read it he in the King James or He in the NASB but know that He is the great I am. Praise His name. |

2 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | retxar | 25943 | ||
Or you can skip reading the italics in both and John 8:24 would read that Jesus simply said He was "I AM", which is what I think He meant and said. Jesus is the great I AM! retxar |

Hi retxar, You did well to observe the italics. I agree with your outcome and praise Him with you. There are some italics in John 8:28 also where it says, "Jesus therefore said, 'When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am *He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me." We can offer up the same praise again, don't you agree? However, there is one more place where it says "I am He" NASB, NKJ, and that is John 8:18. King James, John 8:18, "I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me." Notice the bad English as far as agreement in number. It relates back to the verse previous where the testimony of two men is true. Notice that the NKJ changes the word bear to bears to agree in number. John 8:18,"I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." NASB, John 8:18, "I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me." So it tells me that I must decide for myself who this man is, is He one with the Father, and thus the Holy One, the Expected One, or is he not. How can we not capitalize this One whom we know. But knowing Him is the key for just as verse 19 says, "if you knew (Me) [Spirit], you would know My Father also." It was good being with you. Later, Ray |
