Bible Question: Who are Jannes and Jambres of 2 Timothy 3:8? Do we have modern counterparts to them? |
Bible Answer: Neither Jannes nor Jambres are mentioned in the Old Testament, but according to Jewish tradition they were the Egyptian court magicians who opposed Moses (Ex. 7:11). Do they have counterparts in today's culture? Any man of a depraved mind, opposed to the truth could fit this description. Jannes is also mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls.
