Bible Question (short): Return of the King |
Question (full): None of the other translations mention that Jesus was 'yet glistening' (Amp) Do you think this is an accurate rendering of the Greek? If Jesus was still glowing with the after effects of the transfiguration, do you think it was anything like Moses whose face shone with the radiance of the glory of God and had to be covered with a veil? Why were the crowd amazed to see Jesus? Hadn't they been expecting Him? Or was it His radiant appearance that filled the people with awe? Or did they sense that like Boaz, this man was able to resolve the conflict that had arisen between the disciples and the scribes of Israel? The NIV says that the people were "overwhelmed with wonder." The AV says that the people ran to Jesus and "saluted" Him. (with military precision?) My hunch is that the crowd were overwhelmed with the authority, righteousness, and purity which Jesus displayed at this time. They ran to Him like sheep, loving the voice of the Good Shepherd, yet fearing His majestic demeanour. Do you agree or not? This is a tough passage for me. |
