Subject: Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? |
Bible Note: Ed, It can be difficult a few times in some books. Whne I was learning Greek I would write in pencil the literal meaning of each word till I finished with each verse. Then I take a pen and re-write the Greek into a decent English sentance. While I'm doing all that I'd be checking a number of lexicons and other translations to make sure I was right. After awhile I didn't have to check other translations because it became fairly obvious what the writer was saying. But, I still recall the day I ran into a verse where I looked at the penciled words of one verse (in the entire quarter no less and we did 15-20 per day) and said to myself "There's no way you can make that into a decent English sentance!". So, I checked a dozen translations and found that they were all different too! I figured even the experts couldn't figure that one out. |
