Subject: In John 18:38 Did Pilate want truth? |
Bible Note: Hello Ray! Yes, I agree, but there is only one translation that capitalizes "Way, Truth, and Life" in John 14:6.. The Amplified Bible states, "Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me." However, the NKJV states, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." The NASB states, "Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." The fact that there is only one translation (that capitalizes Way, Truth and Life), this does not take away from the overall meaning of this passage, and all three of these translations capitalize "Me" at the end. John 8:35 is interesting.. The NASB does not capitalize "son" in this verse, but does in the very next verse. The NKJV does the same thing. The Amplified Bible states this verse in this way, "Now a slave does not remain in a household permanently (forever); the son [of the house] does remain forever." So the very text of the Amplified better explains the context and use of capitalization here. Good study! Nolan |
