Bible Question (short): Lunch vs meal in Luke 11.37 |
Question (full): Why the translation of Greek aristao (Strongs: 'to breakfast' and later 'to dine') as 'lunch' in NASB Luke 11.37 when other translations give 'to dine' or 'to eat'? Is it because the meal in question, even though the first of the day, is near to the time what Westerners call lunch? If so, why don't other references to the nearly-midday first meal call it 'lunch' as well? |
