Bible Question: In ACTS 4:27, Jesus is mentioned as a Holy servent of God by the disciples. why is it so?? Is it because the early disciples did not know about the divinity and true nature of our Lord.Please help with an convincing answer. |
Bible Answer: Hi Four Square, Your question is "Why is it so?" Are you asking why Jesus is called a Holy servant? 1) I don't think that we can find fault with the disciples, alone, for not knowing the true nature of our Lord. When I look at your capitalization of "Holy" and the lower case "servant" and when I look at the NASB and NKJ and compare their capitalization, it is apparent that we collectively have trouble agreeing on the Deity of Christ. 2) The word "(s)Servant" for Acts 4:27 is actually in the Greek, "pais", #3816 in Strong's. It means a child, boy, youth but is indeed translated servant twelve times in the NASB. The marginal note in my NASB Study Bible reads [Or, Child]. 3) Acts 4:27, NASB, "For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant [Or, Child] Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur." Acts 4:27, NKJ, "For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,..." Here is my interpretation and perhaps yours also, "For truly against Your Holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed,..." 4) Personally, I speak of the Child Jesus or the Baby Jesus. I speak of this Man of Nazareth. From the heart, Ray |
