Bible Note: John chapter 21 the word Love is used in its various Greek forms. YES! I like that. Hebrew, amazingly, also has 3 words for love. Ahava, Ryah, and Dod (possibly more) but these match the Greek and are all in the Song of Solomon. Jesus would have used Ahava, and Peter use Ryah. Again, when John told this part of the story he could translate the subtleties into Greek from Hebrew. -It's neat to see how John was following Peter and Jesus. I picture Jesus taking Peter off alone to have this discussion, and then John tails behind just close enough to hear. Read it with this in mind and see if you get that feeling. - I also agree that God most definitely arranged the languages that way. I see that over and over again in studying Hebrew, and I imagine the same with Greek. God after all does plan well. :) In Him, Marvin |
