Bible Note: Hi bcb, I've taken the log out of my eye finally and see that I haven't answered you very directly, as in quickly. Not only has nearly a week gone by, but its been nearly three months since you wrote this posting and I haven't responded to a question you asked me. The capitalization in your 3/15 posting was fine. He indeed is the (One) who is able to deliver and performs great things. You asked about the comparison that I see in Psalm 22:1 and Mark 15:39. The words are found also in Matt.27:46. Let me write these references and put some pronouns in parenthesis for comparison and contrast. Psalm 22:1, David speaking, "My (God), my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" Matt 27:46, "...that is,"My (God), My God, why have You forsaken Me?" And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This Man is calling to Elijah." Capital M is mine. Mark 15:34b,"...which is translated, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken (Me)?" When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He (sic) is calling for Elijah." The question I have is why capital H here but small m in Matthew. I'm hoping for more consistency in our translators. Mark 15:39, "When the centurion, who was standing right in front of Him, saw the way He breathed His last, he said, "Truly this (Man) is the Son of God. Psalm 22:1, David speaking, "My (God), my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" We might even compare or I would say contrast Matthew 22:45, "If David then calls Him '(Lord)', how is He his Son?" The capital S is mine. Matt 20:30, "And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that (Jesus) was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son (sic) of David!" |
