1 | Every NATION or every PERSON? | Matt 24:14 | humbledbyhisgrace | 169154 | ||
Maybe I'm wrong but I would say voice was the best interpretation. After all, Jesus was speaking to Saul. That's a voice regardless if it's understood or not. :-) However, Acts 22:9 does help explain the whole thing to me if you use the NASB, ESV, etc... The KJV is a bit misleading to the uneducated reader in that it sounds as if they did not hear the voice according to Acts 22:9 KJV yet Acts 9:7 KJV says just the opposite. Acts 9:7 KJV "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man." Acts 22:9 KJV "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me." Take note! I am not blaming the KJV for my inability to wrestle the truth from it's wording. I accept my own inadequacies and simply press on :-) A quick look at the NIV. Acts 9:7 NIV "The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone." Acts 22:9 NIV "My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me." Hummm.... Thank God for the NASB, ESV, and Godly men called to be teachers! Thanks for the guidance! Steve |

Yea, what you said. This is a good example of how we can become focused on something that is not really the essense of what the apparent point, or message is. As I hoped my previous post pointed out. It is of no consequence whether what was heard was a voice, sound, or whatever. What we now know after looking a little deeper here, is that they were not communicated with as Saul was. And as for opinion as to which English word is best for the translation, we are safe to disagree there too. After all, the translators of the various bible versions chose different words, and they are/were all far more capable of translating the Greek than the both of us. Keep up the good work and always helpful contributions to the forum. In Christs Love, Jeff |
