Bible Question (short): Man, man, or ...? Who blasphemes here? e |
Question (full): I have been considering today a verse which has a pronoun (or the implied Greek possibility of a pronoun) that involves the Deity of Christ. It involves our consideration of whether Jesus can "see their faith" and "know their thoughts". It involves whether we "may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." Matthew 9:3, King James, "And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth." [man blasphemeth is in italics]. Matthew 9:3, NASB, "And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes." [fellow is in italics]. Matthew 9:3, Amplified, "And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, This man blasphemes [He claims the rights...]" Matthew 9:3, NKJ, "And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, "This Man blasphemes!" This is a question of capitalization of Scriptures. I have my own thoughts, but I would like you all to think about it first. Which do you "go with?" KJ, "This man blasphemeth." NASB, "This ...blasphemes." Amplified, "This man blasphemes [He claims the rights...] or NKJ, "This Man blasphemes." Which is most accurate? Any other suggestions of renderings? From the heart, Ray |
