NASB | Matthew 21:12 ¶ And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 21:12 ¶ And Jesus entered the temple [grounds] and drove out [with force] all who were buying and selling [birds and animals for sacrifice] in the temple area, and He turned over the tables of the moneychangers [who made a profit exchanging foreign money for temple coinage] and the chairs of those who were selling doves [for sacrifice]. [Mark 11:15-18; Luke 19:45-47; John 2:14-16] |
Bible Question (short): How significant is a Greek word ending? |
Question (full): In Matthew 21:12 we are given the word KATESTREPSEN in one copy and KATESTREPSE in another Interlinear copy I own. How does this lack of the final N affect the verse? One copy also has Jesus entering the temple of God and the other has omitted "of God". To your mind does the inclusion of "of God" detract from the Deity of Jesus? [Rather than saying "His temple" for instance.] As I have said, I believe God turned the tables in this passage of Scripture and brought glory to Himself. From the heart, Ray |
