Subject: Truly this Man was the Son of God.Mk 15 |
Bible Note: Hi Nolan Keck, Thank you for considering these scriptures. I am pleased that you and Steve are people who capitalize Deity so we can know a little more of where we are coming from. Steve realized that the hometown crowd thought of Him as Joseph's son, and were starting to realize that He was more than that. The unclean demons were realizing who He was--the Holy (One) of God. Mark 1:24 So I capitalize Son of Joseph in my copy. Nolan, I agree with your capitalization of the Great Physician for I would capitalize Physician here in Luke 4:23 if it were in the middle of a sentence. Thus I capitalize "(Physician), heal Yourself..."..."do here in Your hometown as well." Your hometown is capitalized in the NKJ. I believe that Jesus was making claim to being a Prophet and was talking about Himself. In regards to the comparison of the two, I was thinking of "(Physician), heal Yourself" and "Are You not the (Christ?) Save Yourself and us!" The Physician did not need healing and the Christ did not need saving for indeed in verse 41 with my capitalization it would read, ..."but this Man has done nothing wrong." I appreciate your thoughts and your reference to seeing and believing as Thomas said, "My (Lord) and my God" and scripture goes on to say in John 20:31, "but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in (His) name. See also John 1:12. Thanks for your input people. |
