Bible Question: Jesus calls King Herod a 'fox' in Luke 13:32.. What is the full meaning of this word used in the context? Also, how do we interpret this in light of Matthew 5:22? |
Bible Answer: Nolan ... A fox is small, cunning, troublesome, and noted for killing harmless creatures. Let me ask you, were these Pharisees really concerned about Jesus? Or was it something else? I am thinking He may of thinking they were foxes, too. I say this based on the word "that." In Luke 23:6-12, Herod eagerly wants to meet this man of God, not to kill him but to witness miracles and to hear Jesus’ words of wisdom. Jesus had a purpose to what he was doing. Jesus had a plan (vv. 32-33), the Pharisees, nor Herod could detour or deter Him. Mark 3:6 indicates that the Herodians and Pharisees began to plot how to Kill Jesus. We see this plot again in 12:13. So why do the Pharisees warn Jesus? Steve Searching Scripture PS I am not sure how to interpret this in light of Matthew 5:22. I do not see a relationship. |
