Bible Note: Hi eagerfollower, Please check your Scripture reference because I don't think that you meant John l:22. Let me introduce myself to you so that you will know where I am coming from in most of my posts.:) I am a "capitalizer". I'm encouraging consistent and correct capitalization and am still in the process of trying to do that in my personal copy. It is from that viewpoint that I look at Jesus as the Prophet and the King of kings and Lord of lords. So even though the NASB talks of King David and King Herod because of their titles, they are not Deity. But Jesus died on the cross as our King. The chief priests had no king but Caesar so they did not want the King even as their king. John 19:14, "Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your King!" They therefore cried out, "Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your King?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar."" The verse that came to my mind when you said that "the people want to make Him an earthly king" is John 6:15. "Jesus therefore perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone." Jesus will not be forced to become a king for He is indeed the King of kings. I go with the translation of Jay P. Green, Sr. in the Greek-Enlish Interlinear literal translation for the previous verse, John 6:14. That is, with one capitalization exception which I will *star. John 6:14, Green's literal translation, "Then seeing what sign Jesus did, the men said, This is truly the Prophet, the (*one) coming into the world." I believe that Jesus is the One, the Expected One. So, eagerfollower, this is where I am coming from in my posts. I look forward to talking more with you. From the heart, Ray |
