NASB | John 5:19 ¶ Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 5:19 ¶ So Jesus answered them by saying, "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself [of His own accord], unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever things the Father does, the Son [in His turn] also does in the same way. |
Subject: Fatherof4, What is the Greek word? |
Bible Note: Greetings Fatherof4! Sorry about that! :-) BAG is the abbrev. of "A Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature". The BAG refers to the last names of the three editors (Bauer, Arndt, and Gingrich). It is the definitive Greek lexicon. I would disagree that 'ge' here simply refers to the Roman Empire. There were parts of the known world that were not under the control of the Roman Empire. Concerning Acts 2:5, obviously Luke is talking about Jews, but the Jews are from "every nation under heaven". Why would you assume from this statement that Luke only meant the Roman empire? Could it be that you must assume this or your theology falls apart? :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
