Bible Question: I'm trying to find out what the word Kyros means. I believe it is greek. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Kyros -pronounced (koo rah s)This Greek word is an adjective, signifying the possessing of power (ky'ros) or authority, and it is also used as a noun. It appears in each book of the Christian Greek Scriptures except Titus and the letters of John. The term corresponds to the Hebrew ´A·dhohn'. As God’s created Son and Servant, Jesus Christ properly addresses his Father and God (Joh 20:17) as “Lord” (´Adho·nai' or Ky'ri·os) - pronounced (koor i ah s), the One having superior power and authority, his Head. (Mt 11:25; 1Co 11:3) As the one exalted to his Father’s right hand, Jesus is “Lord of lords” as respects all except his Father, God the Almighty. Note: Re 17:14; 19:15, 16; and compare 1Co 15:27, 28 Truthfinder |
