Bible Note: Greetings Ray! As we have discussed before, Greek didn't follow the same rules of capitalization as English. So, when we discuss capitalization, we are really discussing the application of our rules to the text. In that case, I would capitalize the word in John 1:2 since it is a personal pronoun naming Deity. I wouldn't capitalize Mt. 9:3, simply because the Jews didn't recognize Him as Deity.
