Subject: Christ Sometimes Taught in Greek |
Bible Note: The command Christ was quoting is Deuteronomy 6:5 "And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." Note that Christ added the phrase "with all your mind." To the Hebrew, the word "heart" included the emotions, will, and intellect. But that is not the case in Greek. To the Greek the heart is simply the seat of the emotions. To Greek speakers the word mind was needed to make clear the extent of this command. This is one of the clearest evidences we have that Christ spoke Greek and must have frequently taught in Greek. |
