1 | the use of nations? | Matt 28:19 | coffee | 56334 | ||
I have noticed that the word 'nations' has not yet been discussed. Does anyone have any views or insight on the use of this word? For example, do you believe Jesus is referring to people as in plural of individual or people as in groups of people, such as churches or countries, according to your understanding of the greek meaning of the word? | ||||||
2 | the use of nations? | Matt 28:19 | Morant61 | 56361 | ||
Greetings Coffee! The word used in Mt. 28:19 is 'ethnos'. It always refers to nations of people, not individuals. In those cases where it is used in the plural, as here, it usually identifies Gentile nations as opposed to the Jewish nation. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
