Subject: all in one |
Bible Note: Hi Searcher, Thanks for the response. If Christ spoke to the Father committing his spirit to him, what else would talking to God be but prayer? Eulogo: According to our on-line lexicon it means to speak well of, praise, and is translated in the NASB 38 times with some form of the Enlish word bless, two times with some form of the word praise, and one time as surely (? go figure!). Now, I'm not a student of the Greek, (modern or ancient!); I'm just going by what I read here. And here the meanings given to the Greek word can be translated as Christ himself blessing the meal rather than Christ invoking the Father to bless it. Now all this is a very very small point, but I enjoy the exchange. Here's a paste from Lockman's lexicon: eulogeô; from 2095 and 3056; to speak well of, praise:--bless(9), blessed(25), blessing(3), giving a blessing(1), praise(1), praising(1), surely*(1).
