NASB | Matthew 9:17 "Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 9:17 "Nor is new wine put into old wineskins [that have lost their elasticity]; otherwise the wineskins burst, and the [fermenting] wine spills and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so both are preserved." |
Bible Question: In the New Testament, does the word wine really mean "juice"? Because I've checked most of the passages in the N.T. (including the marriage at Cana) and have found the word "oenus" every single time. I'm no scholar, so I would like to know if the word "oenus" either always means wine or means either wine or juice. Any help is welcome. Vobis gratias. |
Bible Answer: There are a number of original-language terms that usually designate some kind of wine and its corresponding Aramaic term chamar But the Hebrew word ya´yin is found most frequently in the Scriptures. It first appears in Genesis 9:20-24, where the reference is to Noah’s planting a vineyard after the Flood and then becoming intoxicated on the wine therefrom. The Greek word oi´nos (basically corresponding to the Hebrew term yayin) first occurs in Jesus’ comments on the inadvisability of using old wineskins for new, partially fermented wine, as the pressure developed through fermentation would burst the old wineskins.—Mt 9:17; Mr 2:22; Lu 5:37, 38. Various strong alcoholic liquors, apparently derived from pomegranates, dates, figs, and the like, were usually designated by the Hebrew term she·khar. (Nu 28:7; De 14:26; Ps 69:12) The Hebrew word a·sis, at The Song of Solomon 8:2, refers to “the fresh juice” of pomegranates, but in other passages the context points to wine. (Isa 49:26; Joe 1:5) Beer may have been designated by the Hebrew word so´ve´.—Isa 1:22; Na 1:10. To get more questions answered copy and paste the following link www.watchtower.org |
