2 | What is the meaning of | Acts 26:14 | Morant61 | 138764 | ||
Greetings LSmith! The KJV and the NIV uses different English words to translate 'kentron', but the meaning is the same. A 'prick' or a 'goad' is simply a pointed, sharp stick used to drive animals along. It's use in Acts 26:14 is an example of a proverbial expression that simply expresses the harm one brings upon oneself by actively resisting. In this case, actively resisting God's will. It would be sort of like us saying to someone, 'Why are you beating your head against the wall?'. :-) This word is used three other times in Scripture in a non-proverbial sense. Here is simply refers to a sting of an animal (1 Cor. 15:55, 56, and Rev. 9:10). I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
