Subject: A question of capitalization |
Bible Note: Hi Makarios, It is fun to praise God with capitalization. And I do appreciate your desire to do that. The other thing that I wanted to bring out in this thread includes Luke 22:26. In fact, for my "system of study", this is the key verse for noticing verse 14's (He) reclined at the table. For remember that the one who reclines at the table is the one who is greater. This is the Man who came in the likeness of men but was actually God among us. What I want to do is compare Luke 22:25,26 with Matthew 23:9 which I suggested that you read. After comparing them I will be asking for input on a recommended change for the NASB and NKJ. In Luke 22:25 we are told by Jesus not to be called 'Benefactors' for He says in verse 26, "But not so with you, but let *Him who is the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the *Leader as the servant." The starred capitalized words are my suggested changes to the NASB. Matthew 23:9, NASB "But do not be called Rabbi; for One [sic] is your Teacher [sic], and you are all brothers." Matthew 23:10, "And do not be called leaders; [margin, Or, teachers] for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11, But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12, And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted." So Christ humbled Himself in becoming a servant in the likeness of men, and tells us not to exalt ourselves by capitalized titles like 'Benefactors', or "Father" but only be recognized as [ones] having authority on earth. You might take note of the differences in the NKJ. I go with the NASB for Matthew 23:11,12. We might also want to study Luke 14:11-15 along with Luke 22:14. From the heart, Ray |
