Bible Note: Hi Timothy Paul, It is good to know a "fellow capitalizer". I appreciate your participation and interest in this question.******* I'm having trouble with my communicator so please excuse the lack of paragraphs.****** Thank you for the quote from Matthew Henry. It is too bad that he is not a capitalizer...no, no, forget that. He doesn't appear to be concerned about capitalization like you and me, but he is aware of the eternal Word, Heb 4:12. However, I do not agree with his capitalization for this verse but rather go with the NASB and NKJ there. The word of God of Heb 4:12 however does compare well with this "fellow" who is said to blaspheme in Matthew 9:3; especially Heb 4:13 when we consider that "all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of *Him with whom we have to do."******* Thus, we can continue on and glorify (God) and confess that Jesus is the Son of (God). Matthew 9:8 and Hebrew 4:14.******* I appreciate Mr. Henry's Psalm 139:2 reference for comparison also with Heb 4:12,13. Psalm 139:4, "Even before there is [Literally, "For there is not a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, *Thou dost know it all." And Matthew 9:4, "And *Jesus knowing their thoughts..."
