1 | Hebrew idioms? | Luke 14:26 | seeking4truth | 101428 | ||
Hi Emmaus, Thanks for you answer. That would certainly seem to be the general concensus. Can I humbly ask, where do you find that "hate your family" is a Hebrew idiom for "love your family less." I would appreciate seeing clear support for this. Why do I ask? Because I could (if I wanted) use this technique on other scripture: "Jesus claim that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life is a Hebrew idiom that He is one of many ways to God." "Jesus teaching on loving your neighbor as yourself is a Hebrew idiom that says that we are only to love those just like us." "Jesus' teaching on loving your enemies is a Hebrew idiom that means we should respect them but not associate with them." I want to be careful that I don't go too far down the road of saying that Jesus did not mean what He said. So I would appreciate it if you could offer some type of Jewish documentation that supports this view. Please translate it into English first, though. :) (Didn't we meet on the road somewhere? :)) seeking4truth |

2 | Hebrew idioms? | Luke 14:26 | Emmaus | 101473 | ||
seeking4truth, I hope this is of some help. "26. wife, brothers, sisters -- yes, even his own life: Luke adds this to the form found in Mt 10:37(38); however, no convincing reason can be found to show Jesus did not utter them. hate: the force of the word is Semetic; in Mt the expression "loves father or mother more" shows that hate must be understood in the sense of "love less" Luke's fuller logion corresponds well with 12:51-53 and is supported by the Qumran messianic interpretation of Dt 33:9 (in 4QTest, see J.M. Allegro, JBL, 75 [1956] 182-87). The sacrifice of marriage for the sake of the kingdom is supported by Lukes's addition in 14:20 and by 18:21-22. Just as the kingdom returns life more fully, it will transform the renunciation of marriage into a new, personal fruitfulness." Jerome Biblical Commentary, p 148 Prentice-Hall 1968 See also Gen 29:30-33 See also Mal 1:2-3 which indicates a preference for one over another even before the two were born Gen 25:19-23. Emmaus |
