20. Matthew 5:39 Whosoever is hostile
Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [kjv]
εγω δε λεγω υμιν μη αντιστηναι τω πονηρω αλλ οστις σε ραπιζει εις την δεξιαν σιαγονα σου στρεψον αυτω και την αλλην [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ὅστις" ≈ "whoever, whosoever" is used in this exact form
16 times in Matthew,
15 by Jesus. and just
10 other times in the
GNT. This is a play on words here in
both Greek and Latin.
"ὅστις" ≈ "whoever, whosoever".
"ὀστέον" ≈ "bone" as in the first part of the English word "osteoporosis".
The English word
"hostile" comes, through French, from the Latin word
"hostis" ≈ "enemy" which is similar to how the Greek word would be pronounced. [guest, ghost, host, hostile]
21. Matthew 22:2 Hostile bones
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [kjv]
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου [gnt]
There is a play on words here in
both Greek and
Latin.
"ὅστις" ≈ "whoever, whosoever".
"ὀστέον" ≈ "bone" as in the first part of the English word "osteoporosis".
Does the play on words fit in this "
parable"? There may be more than one meaning to the "
parable". Consider King Jehu and the
"servants" of Baal in 2 Kings 10. Keep in mind the mark of the Beast in Revelation 13:16-18 (where some of the patterns are opposites).
22. 2 Kings 10:19 Servants
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. [kjv]
και νυν παντες οι προφηται του βααλ παντας τους δουλους αυτου και τους ιερεις αυτου καλεσατε προς με ανηρ μη επισκεπητω οτι θυσια μεγαλη μοι τω βααλ πας ος εαν επισκεπη ου ζησεται και ιου εποιησεν εν πτερνισμω ινα απολεση τους δουλους του βααλ [lxx]
The ancient Greek word
"δουλους" ≈ "servants".
The Greek word translated as
"subtilty" is that of
"feathers" or
"wings" (of
"birds"). The ancient Greek word
"πτερύγιον" ≈ "fin, wing, etc." and comes from
"πτέρυξ" ≈ "winged creature, flipper" and comes from
"πτερόν" ≈ "feather, wing" but could be any
"winged" creature.
The ancient Greek word
"πτερόν" ≈ "feather, wing" which is cognate with the English word
"feather". The Greek word forms the
"pter" part of the English word
"helicopter" (turning wing) and
"pterodactyl" (winged finger).
23. Matthew 23:37 Winged pinnacles
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not ! [kjv]
ιερουσαλημ ιερουσαλημ η αποκτεινουσα τους προφητας και λιθοβολουσα τους απεσταλμενους προς αυτην ποσακις ηθελησα επισυναγαγειν τα τεκνα σου ον τροπον ορνις επισυναγει τα νοσσια αυτης υπο τας πτερυγας και ουκ ηθελησατε [gnt]
What is the
"wing"? The ancient Greek word
"πτερύγιον" ≈ "fin, wing, etc." and comes from
"πτέρυξ" ≈ "winged creature, flipper" and comes from
"πτερόν" ≈ "feather, wing" but could be any
"winged" creature.
The ancient Greek word
"πτερόν" ≈ "feather, wing" which is cognate with the English word
"feather". The Greek word forms the
"pter" part of the English word
"helicopter" (turning wing) and
"pterodactyl" (winged finger).
24. 2 Kings 10:19 King Jehu and Baal
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. [kjv]
και νυν παντες οι προφηται του βααλ παντας τους δουλους αυτου και τους ιερεις αυτου καλεσατε προς με ανηρ μη επισκεπητω οτι θυσια μεγαλη μοι τω βααλ πας ος εαν επισκεπη ου ζησεται και ιου εποιησεν εν πτερνισμω ινα απολεση τους δουλους του βααλ [lxx]
"καλεσατε" ≈ "call" (as used).
"καλέε" ≈ "call" (imperative).
"Σατᾶν" ≈ "Satan" or "Σᾰτᾰ́ν" ≈ "Satan".
The ancient Greek word
"καλεσατε" ≈ "call", in this exact form, appears
13 times in the
LXX (Septuagint) and
1 time in the
GNT.
25. Call the servants
2 Kings 10:19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal. [kjv]
και νυν παντες οι προφηται του βααλ παντας τους δουλους αυτου και τους ιερεις αυτου καλεσατε προς με ανηρ μη επισκεπητω οτι θυσια μεγαλη μοι τω βααλ πας ος εαν επισκεπη ου ζησεται και ιου εποιησεν εν πτερνισμω ινα απολεση τους δουλους του βααλ [lxx]
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [kjv]
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"καλεσατε" ≈ "call", in this exact form, appears
13 times in the
LXX and
1 time in the
GNT. The play on words is that of
"call" "
Satan".
26. Build-up to the punch line play on words
To each of the
seven churches: "
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches ..."
There appears to be a build-up to the "
count Satan!" play on words in Revelation 13:18.
1-7: Churches: "hear sato what?" Might these be related to the seven evil spirits that return to the "house"?
9: Bowls: "count Satan!" (serpent, dragon)
27. Matthew 13:33 Satanic measures three
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [kjv]
αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοις ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη ην λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις αλευρου σατα τρια εως ου εζυμωθη ολον [gnt]
"σατα" ≈ "measures".
"τρια" ≈ "three".
"σαταν" ≈ "Satan".
Can you think of ways that these allusions might be
"encrypted" in the
"wheat" or
"meal"?
☐
σατα τρια (sata tria) as "
measures three" (as written)
☐
σαταν τρια (Satan tria) as "
Satan three"
☐
σαταρίς τρια (sataris tria) as "
woman's headdress three"
☐
στατηρα τρια (statira tria) as "
temple tax coin three"
28. 2 Kings 10:19
KJV: Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Hebrew: ועתה כל נביאי הבעל כל עבדיו וכל כהניו קראו אלי איש אל יפקד כי זבח גדול לי לבעל כל אשר יפקד לא יחיה ויהוא עשה בעקבה למען האביד את עבדי הבעל׃
Greek: και νυν παντες οι προφηται του βααλ παντας τους δουλους αυτου και τους ιερεις αυτου καλεσατε προς με ανηρ μη επισκεπητω οτι θυσια μεγαλη μοι τω βααλ πας ος εαν επισκεπη ου ζησεται και ιου εποιησεν εν πτερνισμω ινα απολεση τους δουλους του βααλ
29. 2 Kings 10:20 Assembly
2 Kings 10:20 And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it. [kjv]
και ειπεν ιου αγιασατε ιερειαν τω βααλ και εκηρυξαν [lxx]
30. 2 Kings 10:20
KJV: And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
Hebrew: ויאמר יהוא קדשו עצרה לבעל ויקראו׃
Greek: και ειπεν ιου αγιασατε ιερειαν τω βααλ και εκηρυξαν
31. 2 Kings 10:21 Fill the pews
2 Kings 10:21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν ιου εν παντι ισραηλ λεγων και νυν παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου μηδεις απολειπεσθω οτι θυσιαν μεγαλην ποιω ος αν απολειφθη ου ζησεται και ηλθον παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου ου κατελειφθη ανηρ ος ου παρεγενετο και εισηλθον εις τον οικον του βααλ και επλησθη ο οικος του βααλ στομα εις στομα [lxx]
The "
king"
"sends" the message to all the
"servants" of "
Baal".
The "house" was "full". The "pews" were "filled".
The ancient Greek word
"ἐπλήσθη" ≈ "filled" is used in this exact form
22 times in the
LXX and
5 times in the
GNT but only
1 time by Jesus, in Matthew 22:10.
32. Fill the pews
2 Kings 10:21 And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν ιου εν παντι ισραηλ λεγων και νυν παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου μηδεις απολειπεσθω οτι θυσιαν μεγαλην ποιω ος αν απολειφθη ου ζησεται και ηλθον παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου ου κατελειφθη ανηρ ος ου παρεγενετο και εισηλθον εις τον οικον του βααλ και επλησθη ο οικος του βααλ στομα εις στομα [lxx]
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
33. 2 Kings 10:21
KJV: And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
Hebrew: וישלח יהוא בכל ישראל ויבאו כל עבדי הבעל ולא נשאר איש אשר לא בא ויבאו בית הבעל וימלא בית הבעל פה לפה׃
Greek: και απεστειλεν ιου εν παντι ισραηλ λεγων και νυν παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου μηδεις απολειπεσθω οτι θυσιαν μεγαλην ποιω ος αν απολειφθη ου ζησεται και ηλθον παντες οι δουλοι του βααλ και παντες οι ιερεις αυτου και παντες οι προφηται αυτου ου κατελειφθη ανηρ ος ου παρεγενετο και εισηλθον εις τον οικον του βααλ και επλησθη ο οικος του βααλ στομα εις στομα
34. 2 Kings 10:22 Vestments
2 Kings 10:22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. [kjv]
και ειπεν ιου τω επι του οικου μεσθααλ εξαγαγε ενδυματα πασι τοις δουλοις του βααλ και εξηνεγκεν αυτοις ο στολιστης [lxx]
Special
"clothing" or
"garments" were used.
The English word
"stole", as a garment (around the neck and hanging down) comes, through French and Latin, from the ancient Greek word
"στολή" ≈ "stole, garment, equipment".
I found a stole made out of metal fibers at a price you would not believe. It was a steal of a steel stole!
35. Vestments
2 Kings 10:22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments. [kjv]
και ειπεν ιου τω επι του οικου μεσθααλ εξαγαγε ενδυματα πασι τοις δουλοις του βααλ και εξηνεγκεν αυτοις ο στολιστης [lxx]
Matthew 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: [kjv]
εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου [gnt]
22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [kjv]
και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη [gnt]
36. 2 Kings 10:22
KJV: And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
Hebrew: ויאמר לאשר על המלתחה הוצא לבוש לכל עבדי הבעל ויצא להם המלבוש׃
Greek: και ειπεν ιου τω επι του οικου μεσθααλ εξαγαγε ενδυματα πασι τοις δουλοις του βααλ και εξηνεγκεν αυτοις ο στολιστης
37. 2 Kings 10:23 Servants
2 Kings 10:23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only. [kjv]
και εισηλθεν ιου και ιωναδαβ υιος ρηχαβ εις οικον του βααλ και ειπεν τοις δουλοις του βααλ ερευνησατε και ιδετε ει εστιν μεθ υμων των δουλων κυριου οτι αλλ η οι δουλοι του βααλ μονωτατοι [lxx]
The Greek word translated as
"worshippers" is that of
"servants". Thus, in the
LXX, there are
two types of
"servants".
The "servants" of Baal.
The "servants" of the Lord.
These are not the same but may deceptively appear to be the same. Some
decision procedure is needed to determine which is which. How might the "
Father" as "
King" create a
decision procedure to help determine which are which?
38. 2 Kings 10:23
KJV: And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
Hebrew: ויבא יהוא ויהונדב בן רכב בית הבעל ויאמר לעבדי הבעל חפשו וראו פן יש פה עמכם מעבדי יהוה כי אם עבדי הבעל לבדם׃
Greek: και εισηλθεν ιου και ιωναδαβ υιος ρηχαβ εις οικον του βααλ και ειπεν τοις δουλοις του βααλ ερευνησατε και ιδετε ει εστιν μεθ υμων των δουλων κυριου οτι αλλ η οι δουλοι του βααλ μονωτατοι
39. 2 Kings 10:24 Burnt offerings
2 Kings 10:24 And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him. [kjv]
και εισηλθεν του ποιησαι τα θυματα και τα ολοκαυτωματα και ιου εταξεν εαυτω εξω ογδοηκοντα ανδρας και ειπεν ανηρ ος εαν διασωθη απο των ανδρων ων εγω αναγω επι χειρας υμων η ψυχη αυτου αντι της ψυχης αυτου [lxx]
The ancient Greek word
"χείρ" ≈ "hand" and the first part of the English word
"chiropractor"
The English word
"holocaust" comes, through French and Latin, from the ancient Greek word
"ὁλόκαυστος " ≈ "wholly burnt" as in a
"burnt offering".
"ὅλος" ≈ "whole, entire" as in the first part of the English word "hologram".
"καίω" ≈ "to burn" and is related to the English word "caustic".
Note that a
hologram is a reality or physics-based phenomena while a
fractal (self-similar) object is a logic or information-based phenomena.
40. 2 Kings 10:24
KJV: And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
Hebrew: ויבאו לעשות זבחים ועלות ויהוא שם לו בחוץ שמנים איש ויאמר האיש אשר ימלט מן האנשים אשר אני מביא על ידיכם נפשו תחת נפשו׃
Greek: και εισηλθεν του ποιησαι τα θυματα και τα ολοκαυτωματα και ιου εταξεν εαυτω εξω ογδοηκοντα ανδρας και ειπεν ανηρ ος εαν διασωθη απο των ανδρων ων εγω αναγω επι χειρας υμων η ψυχη αυτου αντι της ψυχης αυτου
41. 2 Kings 10:25
2 Kings 10:25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal. [kjv]
και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν ποιων την ολοκαυτωσιν και ειπεν ιου τοις παρατρεχουσιν και τοις τρισταταις εισελθοντες παταξατε αυτους ανηρ μη εξελθατω εξ αυτων και επαταξαν αυτους εν στοματι ρομφαιας και ερριψαν οι παρατρεχοντες και οι τρισταται και επορευθησαν εως πολεως οικου του βααλ [lxx]
"πολύς" ≈ "many" (accent on second/last syllable).
"πόλις" ≈ "city" (accent on first syllable) as in ending of English words such as "metropolis".
42. 2 Kings 10:25
KJV: And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
Hebrew: ויהי ככלתו לעשות העלה ויאמר יהוא לרצים ולשלשים באו הכום איש אל יצא ויכום לפי חרב וישלכו הרצים והשלשים וילכו עד עיר בית הבעל׃
Greek: και εγενετο ως συνετελεσεν ποιων την ολοκαυτωσιν και ειπεν ιου τοις παρατρεχουσιν και τοις τρισταταις εισελθοντες παταξατε αυτους ανηρ μη εξελθατω εξ αυτων και επαταξαν αυτους εν στοματι ρομφαιας και ερριψαν οι παρατρεχοντες και οι τρισταται και επορευθησαν εως πολεως οικου του βααλ
43. 2 Kings 10:26 Burning desire
44. Burnt offerings
45. 2 Kings 10:26
KJV: And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
Hebrew: ויצאו את מצבות בית הבעל וישרפוה׃
Greek: και εξηνεγκαν την στηλην του βααλ και ενεπρησαν αυτην
46. Exodus 34:13
Exodus 34:13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: [kjv]
τους βωμους αυτων καθελειτε και τας στηλας αυτων συντριψετε και τα αλση αυτων εκκοψετε και τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε εν πυρι [lxx]
47. Exodus 34:13
KJV: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
Hebrew: כי את מזבחתם תתצון ואת מצבתם תשברון ואת אשריו תכרתון׃
Greek: τους βωμους αυτων καθελειτε και τας στηλας αυτων συντριψετε και τα αλση αυτων εκκοψετε και τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων κατακαυσετε εν πυρι
48. 2 Kings 10:27-28 Baal
2 Kings 10:27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day. [kjv]
και κατεσπασαν τας στηλας του βααλ και καθειλον τον οικον του βααλ και εταξαν αυτον εις λυτρωνας εως της ημερας ταυτης [lxx]
10:28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. [kjv]
και ηφανισεν ιου τον βααλ εξ ισραηλ [lxx]
The English word
"spastic" comes, through Latin, from the ancient Greek word
"σπαστικός" ≈ "drawing in, absorbing".
The Greek word translated as
"destroyed" is that of
"(make) disappear".
49. 2 Kings 10:27
KJV: And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
Hebrew: ויתצו את מצבת הבעל ויתצו את בית הבעל וישמהו למחראות עד היום׃
Greek: και κατεσπασαν τας στηλας του βααλ και καθειλον τον οικον του βααλ και εταξαν αυτον εις λυτρωνας εως της ημερας ταυτης
50. 2 Kings 10:28
KJV: Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Hebrew: וישמד יהוא את הבעל מישראל׃

51. Strongs - wedding
*G1062 *16 γάμος (gam'-os) : of uncertain affinity; nuptials:--marriage, wedding.
 |
Words: γαμον γαμος=4 γαμου=4 γαμους=6 γαμων
|
The ancient Greek word
"γάμους" ≈ "marriage, wedding" (noun, accusative masculine
plural). Only Jesus, in Matthew, and a verse in Luke, uses
plural "weddings".
The base word is
"υάμος" ≈ "marriage, wedding" (nominative singular). The singular form is
"γάμον" ≈ "marriage, wedding" (accusative singular).
The ancient Greek word
"άγαμος" ≈ "celibate, unmarried, singe".
52. Usage - wedding
53. Luke 14:8 Called into weddings
Luke 14:8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; [kjv]
οταν κληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους μη κατακλιθης εις την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτερος σου η κεκλημενος υπ αυτου [gnt]
The "
a" is
inferred.
... when you are called into a wedding ... (singular, as translated into English)
... when you are called into weddings ... (plural, as written in Greek)
54. Luke 14:8
KJV: When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
Greek: οταν κληθης υπο τινος εις γαμους μη κατακλιθης εις την πρωτοκλισιαν μηποτε εντιμοτερος σου η κεκλημενος υπ αυτου
55. Matthew 22:2-3,8 Weddings and wedding
Verses 2 and 3 use
"weddings" as
plural.
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [kjv]
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου [gnt]
22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
Verse 8 uses
"wedding" as
singular.
22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι [gnt]
56. Matthew 22:2 Weddings
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [kjv]
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου [gnt]
Which appears to be the case in the
GNT as explained by Jesus?
☐ One to one: The
one "
church" as a "
unity" is the
one "
bride" of
Jesus the "
groom". All or nothing. What about individuals in the church who are not doing what they are supposed to be doing? Here, the
singular "wedding" is appropriate. [better/bitter together]
☐ Many to one: Every "
member" of the
church is a "
bride" of
Jesus the "
groom". Each individual is a separate case to be considered. Here the
plural "weddings" is appropriate.
Jesus uses "
church" as a "
gathering of believers" in the
singular. Man has created "
churches" in the
plural.
Is there anything
"magical" about the
"weddings"?
57. Matthew 22:2 Magical weddings
Matthew 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, [kjv]
ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου [gnt]
"γάμους" ≈ "marriage, wedding" (noun, accusative masculine plural).
"μάγους" ≈ "magical" (accusative masculine plural) and used to refer to the "Magi" or "wise men". [sorcery]
Why is the Greek word for
"wedding" plural?
"γάμον" ≈ "wedding" (accusative masculine singular).
"μάγον" ≈ "magical" (accusative masculine singular).
58. Matthew 22:2
KJV: The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Greek: ωμοιωθη η βασιλεια των ουρανων ανθρωπω βασιλει οστις εποιησεν γαμους τω υιω αυτου

και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἀπόστολος" ≈ "one who is sent" and did not have the modern meaning of
"Apostle". Another meaning was developing of an
"apostle" being one who had first hand experience with Jesus Christ.
The ancient Greek word
"δοῦλος" ≈ "servant, slave". Who might be represented by the
"servants"? Keep in mind the sending of "
soldiers" in verse 7. That is, in four verses.
|
☐ angels
|
☐ people in general
|
☐ believers in particular
|
☐ someone else

Can the
"servants" include those who are
"called"? That is, can the relationship be
reflexive?

64. Matthew 22:3 Called and bidden
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
The Greek words for
"call" and
"bidden" are part of the Greek word for "
church". At the end of this "
parable", those
"called" will be identified. The Greek words are the same.
KJV English rules tended to use a different word for each.
The ancient Greek word
"κλῆσις" ≈ "call" and comes from
"καλέω" ≈ "call". A derived word with prefix
"εκ" ≈ "out of", as in Exodus (the way out), is
"ἐκκλησία" ≈ "called-out ones, church" as in a "
gathering of believers".
65. Matthew 7:17 Raca fruit
66. Matthew 22:3 Raka
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"καλεσαι" ≈ "call" can be a play on words with "
beautiful" and a Spoonerism play on words with "
raca" as a made-up word such as running, swimming and tennising.
The English word
"raca" comes from the ancient Greek word
"ῥακά" ≈ "idiot, fool, good-for-nothing" which comes from Aramaic (similar to Hebrew) word
"ריקא" ≈ "worthless person".
Are those that are
"called" "hidden" in any way? Would they have a reason to be
"hidden"?
67. Matthew 22:3 Hidden and bidden
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
"κεκλημενοις" ≈ "called" (as used, verse 4)
"κεκλημενους" ≈ "called" (as used, verse 3)
"κεκρυμμενου" ≈ "hidden" (is in the "hidden" manna) are those "hidden" in the "field".
Note the similarity of the "
L" and "
R" sound in both Greek and English.
68. Matthew 13:44 Hidden in a field
Matthew 13:44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. [kjv]
ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων θησαυρω κεκρυμμενω εν τω αγρω ον ευρων ανθρωπος εκρυψεν και απο της χαρας αυτου υπαγει και πωλει οσα εχει και αγοραζει τον αγρον εκεινον [gnt]
*G2928 *18 κρύπτω (kroop'-to) : a primary verb; to conceal (properly, by covering):--hide (self), keep secret, secret(-ly).
The "
treasure" is
"hidden", found, and then
"hidden" again before the selling and buying. The ancient Greek word
"κρυπτός" ≈ "hidden, secret" and is from the ancient Greek word
"κρύπτω" ≈ "hide, cover" and is the source of the English word
"cryptography".
In kingdom parable 4, the woman hides or encrypts (with more negative connotations)
leaven (false doctrine) into meal/wheat (true doctrine).

What is the "
hidden manna"? Might it be the "
living"
"bread"? How can
"manna" be
perverted.
The "n" sound (Hebrew) represents "faithfulness", "fish".
The "m" sound (Hebrew) represents "water", "physical existence".
What happens if the "
n" sound is changed to the "
m" sound?
"mama" as in the harlot queen of Babylon.
"ammo" as a Greek play on words with "sand" as a "house" built on "sand".
"mammon" as a confidence in one's own abilities instead of a trust in God.
72. Revelation 2:17 Hidden manna
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. [kjv]
ο εχων ους ακουσατω τι το πνευμα λεγει ταις εκκλησιαις τω νικωντι δωσω αυτω του μαννα του κεκρυμμενου και δωσω αυτω ψηφον λευκην και επι την ψηφον ονομα καινον γεγραμμενον ο ουδεις οιδεν ει μη ο λαμβανων [gnt]
RC3, Pergamus, relates to
KP3, mustard seed and tree and birds, and
TC8 stealing. The Greek word for
"hidden", in this form, appears only in
two other places, in Matthew, in the kingdom parables.
KP4: Right after (part of) the Leaven (false doctrine) mixed in with true doctrine. The "false" "dead" "bread".
KP5: Treasure hid in a field. The "true" "living" "bread".
That
"living" "bread" is part of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew. That aspect was
changed at the historical time of KP4 with limited reprieve at the historical time of KP5. Thus, it is
"hidden" "manna".
73. Matthew 22:3
KJV: And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Greek: και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν
74. Matthew 22:3 Would not could not
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
The Greek word translated as
"would" "
not" is that of having "
no"
"desire".
"θέλω" ≈ "want, wish, care to" or "ἐθέλω" ≈ "want, wish, care to".
"ἤθελον" ≈ "" (first person singular, third person plural).
Discuss: Was this a
"call" to
fill the
pews? Explain.
75. Matthew 22:3

και απεστειλεν τους δουλους αυτου καλεσαι τους κεκλημενους εις τους γαμους και ουκ ηθελον ελθειν [gnt]
Why might those "
called" "
not" have "
wished" to attend?
☐ They rejected God's calling.
☐ They were busy with their own concerns.
☐ They were busy with the concerns of their Lord.
☐ They were busy planting trees. What type of trees?
☐ They sensed a trap.
“If I knew the world was to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today. Often attributed to
Martin Luther.
76. Matthew 22:4 Again
Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [kjv]
παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμακα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"πάλιν" ≈ "again, once more" and can mean
"back in time" and is related to the ancient Greek word
"παλιά" ≈ "old". The modern Greek word
"πάλιν" (PA-leen) ≈ "again".
When Jesus uses
"πάλιν" ≈ "again, once more" he
repeats what he just said in
another way.
"In other words", the word
"again" means
"in other words".
The
modern Greek word
"με άλλα λόγια" (meh AL-la LO-y-a) ≈ "in other words".
77. Recursively running back again with the palindromes
The English word
"palindrome" is a word whose letters are the same forward and backwards. Sometimes phrases are used where the blanks and other punctuation are ignored.
The English word "
palindrome" comes from the ancient Greek word
"παλίνδρομος" ≈ "running back again" and comes from two ancient Greek words.
"πάλιν" ≈ "again" and "δρόμος" ≈ "race course".
The word "
palindrome" was coined in 1638 by English poet and writer Henry Peacham. The idea appeared much earlier in history. Palindromes are found in the
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) code.
The English word "recursion" means, literally "running again".
"Cursive" text is text that "runs" or "flows".
78. Matthew 22:3-5 Again
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [kjv]
22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [kjv]
Hebrew
parallelism often uses two sound-bites that convey the same (or opposite, etc.) meaning. When Jesus uses
"πάλιν" ≈ "again, once more" he repeats what he just said in another way. What is meant by
"again" in these verses?
Verse 3 is the first time and verses 4 and 5 are the second time as a repeat of what was done before.
Verse 3 is the first time and verses 4 and 5 repeat verse 3 in more detail.

"other" "servants"?

The ancient Greek word
"ἄλλος" ≈ "other - similar" and is related to the English word
"else".
The ancient Greek word
"ἕτερος" ≈ "other - different" and is related to the English word
"asunder" as in "
one or the other of two" and is the prefix of English words such as "
heterosexual", "
heterodoxy", etc.
80. Matthew 22:4 Other similar servants

The ancient Greek word
"ἄλλος" ≈ "other - similar" and is related to the English word
"else". Who are the
"other" "servants"?
☐ Are they similar to those sent the first time? Is there a second time?
☐ Are they similar to those to whom they are calling? Is it a reflexive relationship?
No other word would be clear. Different other word would be clear. Similar other word is ambiguous.
Are these "servants" different than the "soldiers" in verse 7? That is, three verses from here.
Are these "servants" "called"? Are these "servants" "hidden"?

The ancient Greek word

The English word
"dinner" comes from the Middle English word

"disiuno" ≈ "lunch" and, literally,
"break the fast".

Luke 14:12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. [kjv]
ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον οταν ποιης αριστον η δειπνον μη φωνει τους φιλους σου μηδε τους αδελφους σου μηδε τους συγγενεις σου μηδε γειτονας πλουσιους μηποτε και αυτοι αντικαλεσωσιν σε και γενηται ανταποδομα σοι [gnt]
Luke uses the words for both
"breakfast" and
"meal" which is sometimes translated as "
feast".
"ἄριστόν" ≈ "morning meal, breakfast, later lunch".
"δεῖπνον" ≈ "meal, food" would be a better word for "dinner".
85. Matthew 6:3 Left and right
Matthew 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: [kjv]
σου δε ποιουντος ελεημοσυνην μη γνωτω η αριστερα σου τι ποιει η δεξια σου [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"εὐώνυμος" ≈ "of good name, honored, fortunate, ominous, ill-boding" also meant
"left". This is not used in this verse.
Another ancient Greek word for
"left" was
"ἀριστερός" ≈ "left, ominous, clumsy". This is the word used in this verse. This word is from
"ἀριστος" ≈ "best".
The meaning of "
ominous" and/or "
clumsy" is dependent on point of view. There may be a play on words here with the "
best part".
Perhaps
both "
hands" are meant in a
negative sense. In that sense, since the "
pigs" are represented by "
hands", perhaps one should not facilitate, as a "
messenger", communication between two "
bad" parts that should be "
cut off".
86. Acts 6:2 Waiting tables
Acts 6:2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. [kjv]
προσκαλεσαμενοι δε οι δωδεκα το πληθος των μαθητων ειπαν ουκ αρεστον εστιν ημας καταλειψαντας τον λογον του θεου διακονειν τραπεζαις [gnt]
convocantes … duodecim … aequum … derelinquere verbum … ministrare mensis [v]
The ancient Greek word
"ἄριστος" ≈ "best" as in the
"best" warrior. That is, the "
twelve" considered themselves the
"best" as in
"greatest" and therefore did not
"desire" to "
serve" "
tables".
☐ Was it the
"best" solution?
☐ Was it the most
"desirable" solution?
☐ Was it a
"reason"?
Discuss: How might this decision have impacted a sense of
"greater" or
"greatest" and, by implication, have started the move to a hierarchical church structure?
The Latin word
"aequus" ≈ "equal, level, fair, just" which starts the
word slide found in most modern translations.
87. Luke 14:12
KJV: Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Greek: ελεγεν δε και τω κεκληκοτι αυτον οταν ποιης αριστον η δειπνον μη φωνει τους φιλους σου μηδε τους αδελφους σου μηδε τους συγγενεις σου μηδε γειτονας πλουσιους μηποτε και αυτοι σε αντικαλεσωσιν σε και γενηται ανταποδομα σοι ανταποδομα

"breakfast"?

μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"μάχαιραν" ≈ "sword" and comes from the ancient Greek word
"μάχη" ≈ "battle, fight".
Jesus uses the Greek word for
"sword" with the idea of "
division". Another may be a play on words with
"adultery".
"μάχαιρα" ≈ "sword".

παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμακα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ταῦρος" ≈ "bull" and is the source of the English word
"Taurus" as the Zodiac constellation. Bulls were a symbol of Crete and the
Minotaur. These ideas appear to have traveled to Spain.

Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [kjv]
παλιν απεστειλεν αλλους δουλους λεγων ειπατε τοις κεκλημενοις ιδου το αριστον μου ητοιμακα οι ταυροι μου και τα σιτιστα τεθυμενα και παντα ετοιμα δευτε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
"ταυροι" ≈ "oxen, bulls".
"σαυροι" ≈ "serpents".
"σταυροί" ≈ "crosses".
The Greek word translated as
"oxen" can be a play on words with "
crosses" as in "
take up your cross" or as
"lizards" or
"serpents". The sounds "
s" and "
t" are related.
98. Strongs - fatlings

- σιτιστα *1 of 1
- Matthew 22:4 ... my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things ...
This word has the
onomatopoeic play on words with the Latin word
"zizanium" ≈ "darnel, tare, cockle" comes from the ancient Greek word
"ζιζάνιον" ≈ "darnel, rye-grass" which comes from the Semitic Aramaic, Hebrew, etc. It is interesting that the word for "
thistle" in the
OT (Old Testament) and in the
GNT have unknown origins but appear to have sounded similar when spoken. Is there a connection?
The sounds "
s", "
t", "
z", "
tz", "
st" are similar and can be used as play on words.
99. Matthew 22:4 Food chain
Matthew 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [kjv]

Note the following.
"Bulls" can graze on the "fruit" of the "grass" and on "weeds". Might those "weeds" include the "fatlings"?
"Fatlings" are grain fed as in, say, eating the "fruit" of the "grass".
What "
path" might these
"bulls" and
"fatlings" have been following? Might it be the
"narrow" or
"scattered" way" that "
leads (away from)" "
life"?
100. Matthew 22:4 Killed for dinner

The
KJV translates as
"killed" the ancient Greek word
"θύω" ≈ "offer in sacrifice, slay, burn, kill, slaughter" which has meaning beyond just
"killed".
101. Strongs - killed

Is the
"scattered" "

Words: αμελει αμελησαντες=2 ημελησα

The ancient Greek word
"ἀμελέω" ≈ "not worry about, not care for, disregard" and comes from
"ἀμελής" ≈ "careless, negligent, uncared, unheeded" which is a negation of
"μέλω" ≈ "care" as in the "
cares" and "
concerns" of the "
world".
Consider the following as play on words:
"μέλη" ≈ "honey, anything sweet".
"μέλη" ≈ "body parts, limbs, members" from "μέλος" ≈ "body part, limb, member" and, in music, a "tune" or "melody".

The Greek word translated as
"made light" is that of

Might they have
"paid no attention" because they were
"not" "members" of

The ancient Greek word
"ἀγρός" ≈ "field, land, countryside" and is used by Jesus as a
code word for
"world" as in the "
people in the world".
The ancient Greek word
"ἄγριος" ≈ "living in the open fields" and, thus, animals there were considered
"wild",
"savage",
"violent",
"fierce".

119. Isaiah 14:13 North
Isaiah 14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [kjv]
συ δε ειπας εν τη διανοια σου εις τον ουρανον αναβησομαι επανω των αστρων του ουρανου θησω τον θρονον μου καθιω εν ορει υψηλω επι τα ορη τα υψηλα τα προς βορραν [lxx]
In general, does the area of the
"north" in the Bible have a good, bad, or indifferent connotation?
[wilderness, north side, Dan, serpent, eagle]
The the English term
"aurora borealis" comes from the Latin word for "
dawn" or "
sunrise" and the Greek word
"north" (which comes through Latin).
120. Merchandise

2 Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. [kjv]
και εν πλεονεξια πλαστοις λογοις υμας εμπορευσονται οις το κριμα εκπαλαι ουκ αργει και η απωλεια αυτων ου νυσταζει [gnt]
Peter says that these
false teachers will use
"plastic" words to make

"emporium".
"πλάσσω" ≈ "form, mold, shape" as is the source of the English word "plastic".
"ἔμπορος" ≈ "traveler, merchant" as in one who makes a journey and is the source of the English word "emporium".
In Romans 16, Paul make a play on words between "
useful words", "
subtle sermons" in Latin, and "
Christ words".
122. Matthew 13:45-46 KP6 Parable of the pearl of great price
Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: [kjv]
παλιν ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων εμπορω ζητουντι καλους μαργαριτας [gnt]
13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. [kjv]
ευρων δε ενα πολυτιμον μαργαριτην απελθων πεπρακεν παντα οσα ειχεν και ηγορασεν αυτον [gnt]
The name "
Margaret" comes from the ancient Greek word
"μαργαρίτης" ≈ "pearl". The word "
pearl" appears in the
GNT but not in the
LXX, although the
KJV uses "
pearl" in Job.
What is being "
bought"? [good and raca]

οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ος μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ος δε επι την εμποριαν αυτου [gnt]
They had
"no concern". Is this to be taken in a good or not good sense?
Some went to the "field" as in the "world" or "people of the world". Might these be "fish"?
Some went to their "merchandise" interests to make a "profit" of the "people of the world". Might these be "birds" or "wolves"? Might these be "goats"?

Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν [gnt]
"οἱ" ≈ "the" (plural).
"δε" ≈ "(but) not". This is a qualified negation (but).
"οἵδε" ≈ "here, in this way" (masculine nominative plural).
The ancient Greek word
"λοιπός" ≈ "remaining" as in "
others" and is from the ancient Greek word
"λείπω" ≈ "leave behind". It is the source of the ancient Greek word
"λοιπόν" ≈ "what remains, others" and is often translated as
"so" or
"therefore". In speech, it can mean
"to the remainder".
To whom does "
his" (singular) refer? It would appear to be the "
king" since the "
remnant" is plural.
135. Matthew 22:6 Remaining annoyance
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν [gnt]
"λουποί" ≈ "remaining".
"λύπη" ≈ "annoyed, distressed".
These are pronounced the same today (except for the accent).
The Greek word, as used by Jesus, can be a play on words with the Greek word for
"annoyed" or
"distressed" and that is sometimes translated as
"sad".
The
ancient Greek word
"λύπη" ≈ "annoyance, distress". The
modern Greek word
"λύπη" (LEE-pee) ≈ "sorrow, sadness, suffering". It appears that the modern meaning comes from the meaning assumed in the
GNT from Latin, etc.
136. Rich young ruler
Matthew 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. [kjv]
ακουσας δε ο νεανισκος τον λογον τουτον απηλθεν λυπουμενος ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα [gnt]
Mark 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. [kjv]
ο δε στυγνασας επι τω λογω απηλθεν λυπουμενος ην γαρ εχων κτηματα πολλα [gnt]
Which word fits best?
"annoyed", "annoyance", etc. (primary meaning)
"distressed", "distress", "troubled", etc.(secondary meaning)
"sorrowful", "sorry", "grieved", etc.
The
ancient Greek word
"λύπη" ≈ "annoyance, distress". The
modern Greek word
"λύπη" (LEE-pee) ≈ "sorrow, sadness, suffering". It appears that the modern meaning comes from the meaning assumed in the
GNT from Latin, etc.
137. Matthew 22:6 Taking a branch
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν [gnt]
The
KJV translates as
"took" the The
ancient Greek word
"κρατέω" ≈ "rule, command, conquer, seize, hold". Might those
"taken" have been
"branched" in some way? A "
tree" represents the human infrastructure of an empire.
The same play on words is present at the end of "
took" as in "
rule" (by) "
Satan".
138. Strongs - hubris

measured".

Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
οταν δε νηστευητε μη γινεσθε ως οι υποκριται σκυθρωποι αφανιζουσιν γαρ τα προσωπα αυτων οπως φανωσιν τοις ανθρωποις νηστευοντες αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
"μισθός" ≈ "wages, pay, recompense, reward".
"μῖσος" ≈ "hatred, hate".

143. Matthew 6:16 The have their reward
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
οταν δε νηστευητε μη γινεσθε ως οι υποκριται σκυθρωποι αφανιζουσιν γαρ τα προσωπα αυτων οπως φανωσιν τοις ανθρωποις νηστευοντες αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἀπέχουσιν" ≈ "keep away from, be far from",
The ancient Greek word
"καιουσιν" ≈ "light, burn, kindle". (
1 time in
GNT) and
"επικαιουσιν" ≈ "light, burn, kindle" (intensified).
144. Matthew 6:16 The have their reward
Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. [kjv]
οταν δε νηστευητε μη γινεσθε ως οι υποκριται σκυθρωποι αφανιζουσιν γαρ τα προσωπα αυτων οπως φανωσιν τοις ανθρωποις νηστευοντες αμην λεγω υμιν απεχουσιν τον μισθον αυτων [gnt]
Greek: They are far from their reward.
Play: They burn (in) their hate.
145. Matthew 22:6 Slew of killings
Matthew 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἀποκτείνω" ≈ "kill, slay" and can be
figurative instead of a physical action.
Many "prophets" and "righteous" ones have been physically "killed" over the ages.
Many "believers" can have their "body" and "soul" destroyed or "killed" through deception.
146. Matthew 22:6 Burning of the birds
147. Matthew 22:6 You burn bird
148. Matthew 10:28 Soul and body
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. [kjv]
και μη φοβεισθε απο των αποκτεινοντων το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβεισθε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και ψυχην και σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη [gnt]
Jesus tells us that the "
body" and the "
soul" are different. Jesus tells us who we should
"fear" and it is not
"fear" about the
cares and
concerns of this world. The most dangerous attacks are not from the outside but from the inside and involve
deception.
One cannot "
destroy the soul" by
"killing" the body is in persecution (e.g., by the Roman administrations). The primary way to
"destroy" the "
soul" is through
deception so that you "
sell yourself out" or are "
sold out".
Jesus provides an example in the
next verse.
149. Matthew 10:29-31 Soul and body
150. Strongs - kill
*G615 *71 ἀποκτείνω (ap-ok-ti'-no) : from G575 and kteino (to slay); to kill outright; figuratively, to destroy:--put to death, kill, slay.

151. Matthew 22:5-6 Three groups
Matthew 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: [kjv]
οι δε αμελησαντες απηλθον ος μεν εις τον ιδιον αγρον ος δε επι την εμποριαν αυτου [gnt]
22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν [gnt]
There appear to be
three groups who
"pay no attention".
☐ Those going to the
"field" or
"world" as those doing ordinary "
worldly work".
☐ Those going to make a
"profit" of
"merchandise" as in the "
great men of the world".
☐ The
"remainder", who may be "
birds" or
false teachers, who use
"hubris" to
"kill" both body and/or soul.
To which group or groups belong the
"servants"?

Greek: οι δε λοιποι κρατησαντες τους δουλους αυτου υβρισαν και απεκτειναν

ο δε βασιλευς ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν [gnt]
The
TR adds "
heard" which could be implied in the context.
Who are the "soldiers" or "armies" or "hosts" sent forth? Might these appear in Revelation?
What is the "city" that is "burned"? Might this appear in Revelation?
Who are the "murderers" who are "destroyed"? Only one of the three groups appears to fit this criteria.
Might some in the two other groups have been "burned" in the "city" or "many"?
Does that mean that there are some "remaining" who might sneak into the "feast" of the "weddings"?
There are still those outside that can be invited. Are they "
hidden"? Might they include those who went "
into" the "
field" or those who went "
onto" the "
merchandise"?
155. Strongs - armies, hosts
*G4753 *8 στράτευμα (strat'-yoo-mah) : from G4754; an armament, i.e. (by implication) a body of troops (more or less extensive or systematic):--army, soldier, man of war.

Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ ελευσονται επι τω ονοματι μου λεγοντες εγω ειμι ο χριστος και πολλους πλανησουσιν [gnt]
There are
two usages of the
same Greek word for (plural)
"many" in this verse. How
"many" is
"many"?
"πολλοί" ≈ "many, a lot" (plural).
"πολυς" ≈ "many, a lot" (singular)
The "many" shall come in the "name" of Jesus saying they are "Christ".
The "many" shall be "deceived".
Might these be the same
"many"? That is, the
"many" shall deceive themselves as in self-deception.
163. Matthew 5:14 Cities and many
Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [kjv]
υμεις εστε το φως του κοσμου ου δυναται πολις κρυβηναι επανω ορους κειμενη [gnt]
"πολύς" ≈ "many" (accent on second/last syllable).
"πόλις" ≈ "city" (accent on first syllable).
Many claim to have done
many. The Greek for
"city" can be a play on words with
"many". There are
"many" in a
"city". and
"many" that are in the "
wide area". A
"city" on a "
hill" cannot be "
hid" (the false light of the world, not in a good sense).
In modern Greek, the words are pronounced the same except for the accent stress which could be made more or less when pronounced.

ο δε βασιλευς ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν [gnt]
"πρηστήρ" ≈ "thunderstorm with lightning".
"πίμπρημι" ≈ "kindle, burn down" and can figuratively mean to become "inflated" or "swollen".
2 Kings 10:26 And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them. [kjv]
και εξηνεγκαν την στηλην του βααλ και ενεπρησαν αυτην [lxx]
167. Acts 28:6
Acts 28:6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god. [kjv]

Matthew 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι [gnt]
"αξιοι" ≈ "worthy" (plural).
"α" ≈ "(negating prefix)" and "σκιάι" ≈ "shadows".
"σκιά" ≈ "shadow".
The sounds "
ks" as in "
ξ" and "
sk" as in "
σκ" can be used as play on words.
Logic:
not worthy =
not (
not shadows) =
shadows
Does the play on words fit in this context? Were those "
hidden", in a sense, "
shadows"? Do those "
hidden" as "
shadows" include the
"servants" (
reflexively)? How might one get them to self-select (e.g., as in the parable of the ten virgins) so they can be identified?

KJV: Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.

Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [kjv]
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
The Greek is that of
"on" the
"through the exit paths" of the
"path" and
not just the
"path". On might think of this as an
"off ramp" of the
"paths".
The ancient Greek word "επί" ≈ "on" (more passive and static)
The ancient Greek word "εις" ≈ "into" (more active and dynamic).
What happens if you are still going
"through" the "
path" and have not reached the "
exit"
"through" the "
path"?
Which is better English:
Get off into the exit of the road.
Get off on the exit of the road.
176. Strongs - exit

Words: διεξοδους=1

πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
Some play on words are the following.
"ἐξ" ≈ "out of" as in the English word/prefix "ex".
"ἕξ" ≈ "six" as in the English word/prefix "hex".
"εις" ≈ "one" and "εις" ≈ "into" and, in context, "against".
Greek word order:
go then on the through exit (six) paths of the paths and ...
What exactly is
path "six"? What are the other
"paths"?
Might the
"into" be
"one" as in the
One Cookie Rule?
180. Matthew 22:9 Exit 6
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [kjv]
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
5: Field (treasure in the field)
6: Merchandise (pearl of great price)
Where are the
"exit ramps" of node
"six"? Would
three of them be "
666"? Is "
Satan" somehow involved?
181. Matthew 22:9 Satanic call
Matthew 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [kjv]
πορευεσθε ουν επι τας διεξοδους των οδων και οσους εαν ευρητε καλεσατε εις τους γαμους [gnt]
"καλεσατα" ≈ "call" (as used).
"καλέε" ≈ "call" (imperative).
"Σατᾶν" ≈ "Satan" or "Σᾰτᾰ́ν" ≈ "Satan".
The Greek is that of "
as many" "
if/when" you "
find" them
"call" them "
into" the "
weddings".
How does the play on words compare to what was done by King Jehu in 2 Kings 10?
182. Matthew 22:9
KJV: Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
The
TR changes "
groom" to
"wedding". The word for
"synagogue" is used as
"gathered together".
The Greek word translated as
"bad" is that of
"oppression" or
"evil".
The
"bad" and
"good" reminds one of the seventh kingdom parable involving the "
rotten" and
"good".
185. Matthew 22:10 Going together on the earth
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"συναγωγή" ≈ "gathering"
"συν" ≈ "together".
"ἄγω" ≈ "go" and "γη" ≈ "earth".
The ancient Greek word
"συναγωγή" ≈ "gathering" and is the source of the English word
"synagogue" which is a Greek word and
not a Hebrew word. This word can be a play on words with the three constituent words
"together",
"lead, bring, go" and
"earth".
186. Matthew 22:10 Those with ears
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"οὓς" ≈ "this, who, which" (plural) of "ὅς" ≈ "this, who, which".
"οὖς" ≈ "ear" and cognate with the English word "ear".
Did they "
find" those that had an
"ear" for what they were
"calling"? What exactly were they
"calling"? [Song title: Killing me softly with his song]
The
TR changes
"οὓς" ≈ "this, who, which" to
"όσους" ≈ "as many as, as much as" (plural) from
"όσος" ≈ "as many as, as much as" which breaks the play on words and changes the translation somewhat.
187. Matthew 22:10 Bad
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"πονηρους" ≈ "oppressed by toils" (accusative).
"πολύ" ≈ "many".
"νοῦς" ≈ "(of) mind".
The Greek word translated as
"bad" is the ancient Greek word
"πονηρα" ≈ "oppressed by toils" and often translated as
"evil".
188. Matthew 22:10 Good
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
In any case:
Do not eat the fruit. Do not feed the birds.
189. Strongs - of those reclining
*G345 *14 ἀνακεῖμαι (an-ak-i'-mahee) : from G303 and G2749; to recline (as a corpse or at a meal):--guest, lean, lie, sit (down, at meat), at the table.

The Greek word translated as
"guests" is that of
"dedicated".
Were those in attendance
"reclining" as in a
corpse or at a
meal?
The ancient Greek word
"ἀνάκειμαι" ≈ "be dedicated" as in having been set up as a votive offering (in a temple or sacred place).
Adding one letter changes the word to the ancient Greek word
"ἀντίκειμαι" ≈ "those opposite, set against".

191. Cambridge Greek Lexicon
The
CGL (Cambridge Greek Lexicon) (p. 96) provides the following definitions for the ancient Greek word
"ἀνάκειμαι" ≈ "be dedicated" as in having been set up as a votive offering (in a temple or sacred place).
1. be dedicated (as a votive offering in a temple or sacred place).

Several times the
GNT translates this word as
"guests".
192. Matthew 22:10 Dedicated
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"ἀνακειμένων" ≈ "be dedicated".
"ἀντικειμένων" ≈ "opposite, set against, opposed".
Might those
"dedicated" actually be
"set against" or
"opposed" to the will/desire of the
King?
What might happen "
if" they "
remain" "
there (in that place)" instead of doing the will/desire of the
King?
193. Matthew 22:10 Dedicated
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"ἀνακειμένων" ≈ "be dedicated"
"αν" ≈ "if, when".
"ἐκεῖ" ≈ "there, in that place".
"μενων" ≈ "abide, remain" (present active participle).
Were those in attendance
"reclining" as in a
corpse or at a
meal? What happens
"if" they
"remain" "there (in that place)"?
The ancient Greek word
"ἀνάκειμαι" ≈ "be dedicated" as in having been set up as a votive offering (in a temple or sacred place).
194. Strongs - become full
*G4130 *24 πλήθω (play'-tho) : pleo pleh'-o (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form pimplemi) to "fill" (literally or figuratively (imbue, influence, supply)); specially, to fulfil (time):--accomplish, full (...come), furnish.
 |
Words: επλησαν επλησθη=5 επλησθησαν=12 πλησας πλησθεις=2 πλησθηναι πλησθης πλησθησεται

The ancient Greek word
"πλήθω" ≈ "become full, swell" and can mean going through a period of time (from the filling of the moon).
195. Usage - become full
- *G4130 *24 πλήθω (play'-tho) : pleo pleh'-o (which appears only as an alternate in certain tenses and in the reduplicated form pimplemi) to "fill" (literally or figuratively (imbue, influence, supply)); specially, to fulfil (time):--accomplish, full (...come), furnish.

The ancient Greek word
"πλήθω" ≈ "become full, swell" and can mean going through a period of time (from the filling of the moon).
Discuss: Compare
"filling" the "
bride chamber" with
"filling" the "
pews".
The English word
"pew" comes, through French and Latin, from the ancient Greek word
"πόδιον" ≈ "little foot" as a diminutive which comes from
"πούς" ≈ "foot".
197. Romans 1:22 Ewe in the Pew
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, [kjv]
φασκοντες ειναι σοφοι εμωρανθησαν [gnt]
Forget the elf on the shelf.
Let's get some bleat on the seat.
How about ewe in the pew?
You (ewe) got to agree that one was
really (woolly) nice! I tried to
lambaste (lamb past, or ram past)
you (ewe) a
sheepish joke that, I gather, you would have
heard (herd) about. That is why many do not
flock to my jokes, nor go
past your (pasture) jokes.
Who wants "
you" in the "
pew"?
☐
"birds"
☐ Jesus
[wash one another's feet]
Today we know a lot more but we may not be more smart as a result of having
TMI (Too Much Information). How about TMJ (
Too Many Jokes)?
198. Matthew 22:10 Bride chamber
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
In verse 10, the
TR changes
"bride chamber" to
singular "wedding".
"γάμος" ≈ "marriage, wedding" (in the TR).
"νυμφών" ≈ "bride chamber" (third person masculine singular).
Opposites:
"νυμφή" ≈ "bride, young wife". and is the source of the English word "nymph".
"νυμφίος" ≈ "bridegroom".
Where did the king say to
"fill" the
"bride chamber"? Why was the
"bride chamber" "filled".
199. Matthew 22:10
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
Many "
ignored" the "
call" as if they smelled a "
trap". Did they say anything? Might they have provided
"voices" in the manner of the
"ass" or
"donkey" to "
Balam" and been ridiculed or otherwise punished for it?
200. Numbers 22:32
Numbers 22:32 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: [kjv]
και ειπεν αυτω ο αγγελος του θεου δια τι επαταξας την ονον σου τουτο τριτον και ιδου εγω εξηλθον εις διαβολην σου οτι ουκ αστεια η οδος σου εναντιον μου [lxx]
"ὄνος" ≈ "ass, donkey". The modern Greek word "όνος" (O-nos) ≈ "ass, donkey".
"ὄνον" ≈ "ass, donkey" (accusative).
"διαβολή" ≈ "slander, defamation".
"ἀστεῖος" ≈ "of the city, refined, elegant, witty" from "ἄστυ" ≈ "town, city". The modern Greek word "αστείος" (a-STEE-os) ≈ "funny, comical, trivial".
201. Lucian's The Ass
The
ancient Greek word
"ὄνος" ≈ "ass, donkey"
This book appears to be available as a
PDF (Portable Document Format). (as of 2025-12-23).
Lucian of Samosata (125-180) was a second century Hellenized (made to adopt Greek culture) Syrian writer who often used satire in his writings. He combined the classical Greek style (in a funny way) with the common or Koine Greek spoken by the people. As such, it contains many Greek words used in the
GNT.
202. Matthew 22:10 The bride chamber
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
"ο" ≈ "the" and "νυμφών" ≈ "bride chamber" (third person masculine singular).
"ὄνον" ≈ "ass, donkey" (accusative) and "φωνᾱ́ς" ≈ "voices" (accusative plural).
Were there
"donkey" "voices"? Perhaps filling in the rest of the verse can help.
203. Matthew 22:10 Donkey voices if remaining
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
Greek word order paraphrase:
... and was filled the bride chamber [donkey voices] with those reclining [if there abiding/remaining].
Perhaps there were only the memory of
"donkey" "voices" as the
"donkeys" did not "
care" to attend.
A better fit may be to use singular "
voice" so it connects better to the next words and without the "
if".
... more to be added ...
204. Matthew 22:10 Contrast
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
|
What the "servants" were asked to do.
|
What the "servants" did.
|
Go "on" the "exits" of the "paths". That is, "path" "six".
|
They went "into" the "paths". Which "paths"?
|
"Call" those who are "called".
|
"Gather" as in "synagogue" both "evil" and "good".
|
Allow those "called" to go "into" the "weddings".
|
"Filled" the "bride chamber" with those "dedicated". To whom were those "dedicated"?
|
Were they warned that they should not be doing what they did? Were they "
donkey" "
voices" warning them about the "
angel" of the "
Lord"? Might those "
angels" be "
deacons"?
205. Program facing aspects
Two aspects of programs that follow from specifications are the following.
What does the customer see? This is customer-facing or functional specification requirements. Provides direct value to the customer.
What does the programmer see? This is programmer-facing or nonfunctional specification requirements. Necessary but no direct value to customer.
206. Biblical view
A Biblical view of aspects of software engineering specifications are the following.
The "customer-facing" or "functional requirements" are provided by God and Jesus as bottom-up as a shallow-structured organization.
The "programmer-facing" or "nonfunctional requirements" are provided by the church as an tree-structured organization of human hierarchy.
In general, a false teacher would tend to either obscure the actual functional requirements (omitting parts of the Bible, etc.) or overly emphasize nonfunctional requirements (i.e., of the church).
207. Matthew 22:10
Matthew 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
και εξελθοντες οι δουλοι εκεινοι εις τας οδους συνηγαγον παντας ους ευρον πονηρους τε και αγαθους και επλησθη ο νυμφων ανακειμενων [gnt]
Discuss:
Is the goal of the "servants" of the "Lord" to fill the pews or bride-chamber? Explain.
Did the "servants" do the "will" of the Father?
Is there historical precedent for the
"servants" of the Lord not doing what they were asked to do? [Great Commission, Feed my sheep, etc.]
Using the play on words, is this a way to
"call" "
Satan"? [Synagogue of Satan][Smyrna - weeds][Philadelphia - pearl].
208. Revelation 2:9
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich ) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [kjv]
οιδα σου την θλιψιν και την πτωχειαν αλλα πλουσιος ει και την βλασφημιαν εκ των λεγοντων ιουδαιους ειναι εαυτους και ουκ εισιν αλλα συναγωγη του σατανα [gnt]
Jesus uses the Greek word translated as "
poverty" or "
poor" to mean those that are "
fallen" (the literal meaning of the word) and need the
Good News. In what are they "
rich"? What does it mean for someone to "
say" that they are "
Jews"?
The Greek word for "
synagogue", which is the source of the English word
"synogogue", can be a play on words meaning, literally, "
going together on the earth". The "
synagogue" of "
Satan" may not be restricted to the Jewish "
synagogue".
209. Revelation 3:9 Synagogue
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. [kjv]
ιδου διδω εκ της συναγωγης του σατανα των λεγοντων εαυτους ιουδαιους ειναι και ουκ εισιν αλλα ψευδονται ιδου ποιησω αυτους ινα ηξουσιν και προσκυνησουσιν ενωπιον των ποδων σου και γνωσιν οτι εγω ηγαπησα σε [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"συναγωγή" ≈ "gathering" and is the source of the English word
"synagogue" which is a Greek word and
not a Hebrew word. This word can be a play on words with the three constituent words "
together", "
lead, bring, go" and "
earth".
"συν" ≈ "together" and "αγω" ≈ "go"and "γη" ≈ "earth".
Discuss:
Who might "lead, bring, go" "together" on the "earth"?
What might be meant by "to" "know"? The "to" was added.
Might the wording indicate that, at one time, they were "loved" but they have now separated themselves from the "love" of Christ?
210. Synagogue of Satan
5: Field (treasure in the field)
6: Merchandise (pearl of great price)
The
"Synagogue" of
"Satan" appears in two of the
RC (Revelation Church).
RC2 as Smyrna, node 2 (weeds)
RC6 as Philadelphia, node 6 (pearl).
These appear to be "
on" the two "
exit ramps" of the "
paths" which "
lead (away from)" "
life".
211. Matthew 22:10
KJV: So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

213. Context review with Greek
Matthew 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. [kjv]
ο δε βασιλευς ωργισθη και πεμψας τα στρατευματα αυτου απωλεσεν τους φονεις εκεινους και την πολιν αυτων ενεπρησεν [gnt]
22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις δουλοις αυτου ο μεν γαμος ετοιμος εστιν οι δε κεκλημενοι ουκ ησαν αξιοι [gnt]
22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. [kjv]

εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου [gnt]
The Greek uses the same word repeated in a different form. Thus,
... was not clothed in clothes of the wedding. Was this
too clothes to call?
Having a "
ticket" to get into the "
feast" is
necessary but
not sufficient.
One must be "
clothed" in "
righteousness". This man had gained entry but not completed the required actions.
Might the "
man" be one of the
"servants" who is "
there" "
remaining"?
218. Matthew 22:11
KJV: And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Greek: εισελθων δε ο βασιλευς θεασασθαι τους ανακειμενους ειδεν εκει ανθρωπον ουκ ενδεδυμενον ενδυμα γαμου
219. Matthew 22:12 Now friend
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [kjv]
και λεγει αυτω εταιρε πως εισηλθες ωδε μη εχων ενδυμα γαμου ο δε εφιμωθη [gnt]
"ἑταῖρε" ≈ "comrade, friend"
"ἑταίρα" ≈ "courtesan, escort, prostitute"
The
ancient Greek word
"ἑταιρεία" ≈ "association, company, band". The
modern Greek word
"εταιρεία" (eh-teh-REE-a) ≈ "association, society, company".
Might this one be one that, on the other hand, went "
onto" the
"merchandise"?
220. Strongs - speechless
*G5392 *8 φιμόω (fee-mo'-o) : from phimos (a muzzle); to muzzle:--muzzle.
 |
Words: εφιμωθη=1 εφιμωσεν κημωσεις πεφιμωσο φιμουν φιμωθητι=2 φιμωσεις
|
The ancient Greek word
"φιμόω" ≈ "muzzle, shut up, seal up". The idea of "

GNT.

και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους λεγων φιμωθητι και εξελθε εξ αυτου [gnt]
Luke 4:35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. [kjv]
και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους λεγων φιμωθητι και εξελθε απ αυτου και ριψαν αυτον το δαιμονιον εις το μεσον εξηλθεν απ αυτου μηδεν βλαψαν αυτον [gnt]
Here we have a way
not to translate scripture using cross-language words.
"λεγω" ≈ "say" which, when pronounced as "Lego".
The ancient Greek word "φιμόω" ≈ "muzzle, shut up, seal up". The idea of "put to silence" is a meaning from the GNT. Here the word is translated as "hold peace".
So, when building with "
Legos", one should hold the "
piece".
223. Matthew 22:12 Speechless
224. Matthew 13:33 Muzzled leaven
Matthew 13:33 Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. [kjv]
αλλην παραβολην ελαλησεν αυτοις ομοια εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων ζυμη ην λαβουσα γυνη ενεκρυψεν εις αλευρου σατα τρια εως ου εζυμωθη ολον [gnt]
"ἐζυμώθη" ≈ "leavened".
"ἐφιμώθη" ≈ "muzzled, speechless".
It was
"all" "leavened". Did this, in effect, have
everyone "muzzled"?
225. Matthew 22:12 In this way

230. Deacon as an administration gopher
Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. [kjv]
ο δε μειζων υμων εσται υμων διακονος [gnt]
Does the
converse hold: If you become a
"servant" or
"deacon", will you become
"great" or
"greatest"?
"διάκονος" ≈ "servant".
"δία" ≈ "through" as in the first part of "diameter".
"κόνις" ≈ "dust, ashes" and related to "cinder".
The Greek words for
"through" and
"dust" appear to be related to the Greek word for
"deacon".
231. Matthew 22:13 Deacons and servants
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
τοτε ο βασιλευς ειπεν τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας εκβαλετε αυτον εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
"διακόνοις" ≈ "deacons" (1 time).
"δούλους" ≈ "servants" (5 times).
The only ones known to have not done what they were supposed to do in this parable are the
"servants". Might the
"servants" have been (unknowing)
"bait" in a self-referential reflexive manner? Should they have known better?
Have the
"deacons" been
"through" the
"dust" or
"sand" or
"earth" as in the "
house" built on
"sand" or
"earth"?
232. Matthew 22:13 Deacons and servants
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
τοτε ο βασιλευς ειπεν τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας εκβαλετε αυτον εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
The Greek word translated as
"servants" is that of
"deacons". In this parable;
"δούλους" ≈ "servants" (5 times).
"διακόνοις" ≈ "deacons" (1 time).
Might one of the
"servants" be the one the
"deacons" throw out? Otherwise, who are the
"deacons"? In English, a play on words would be of
"servants" with
"serpents".
Have the
"deacons" been
"through" the
"dust" or
"sand" or
"earth" as in the "
house" built on
"sand" or
"earth"?
233. Matthew 22:3-4,6,8,10,13
Matthew 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. [kjv]
22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. [kjv]
22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. [kjv]
22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. [kjv]
22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. [kjv]
22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
234. Matthew 22:13 Bind Satan
235. Matthew 22:13
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
τοτε ο βασιλευς ειπεν τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας εκβαλετε αυτον εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
The Greek phrase for "
outer" "
darkness" is used by Jesus three times in Matthew. The choice of the words "
hand" and "
foot" is interesting. Jesus uses code word nouns to represent other words and meanings.
The "hands" represent "pigs" or those who work for the "birds" and get in the way of sinners wanting to repent.
The "foot" represent "fish" or those who swim in sin from the sea of humanity. One is the be "fishers" of men as "fish" and not "fishers" of "pigs" or "birds".
There is no allusion here to the "
birds" or
false leaders. Those have, apparently, not been given a "
ticket" to the "
banquet".
236. Matthew 8:10-12 Children of the kingdom
Jesus is talking to a Roman Centenarian (commander of 80 to 100 Roman soldiers).
Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. [kjv]
8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. [kjv]
λεγω δε υμιν οτι πολλοι απο ανατολων και δυσμων ηξουσιν και ανακλιθησονται μετα αβρααμ και ισαακ και ιακωβ εν τη βασιλεια των ουρανων [gnt]
8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
οι δε υιοι της βασιλειας εκβληθησονται εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
Who are the "children" of the "kingdom"?
Which "kingdom" is this?
237. Matthew 8:10
KJV: When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Greek: ακουσας δε ο ιησους εθαυμασεν και ειπεν τοις ακολουθουσιν αμην λεγω υμιν ουδε παρ ουδενι τοσαυτην πιστιν εν τω ισραηλ τοσαυτην πιστιν ευρον
238. Matthew 8:11
KJV: And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

239. Matthew 8:12
KJV: But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Greek: οι δε υιοι της βασιλειας εκβληθησονται εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων
240. Matthew 25:30 Parable of the talents
Matthew 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
και τον αχρειον δουλον εκβαλετε εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]
The Greek word translated as "
unprofitable" is that of "
not useful".
What is "outer" "darkness"?
What is "inner" "light"?
What might be "inner" "darkness"?
What might be "outer" "light"?
[black holes, dark matter, dark energy]
241. Matthew 22:13
KJV: Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Greek: τοτε ειπεν ο βασιλευς ειπεν τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας αρατε αυτον και εκβαλετε αυτον εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων

This is the end for those without proper
garments in the Parable of the Wedding Feast.
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [kjv]
22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
Who are the "many"?
Who are the "called"?
Who are the "few"?
Who are the "chose" or "elect"?
The joke for some denominational churches is "
many are cold, a few are frozen".
244. Matthew 22:14 Callings
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
While in church, you may hear God calling in many ways. However, God will not call you on your
cell phone. So you can turn that off while in church.
245. Matthew 22:14 Clamor calling
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
The English word
"clamor" comes, through French, from the Latin word
"clamor" ≈ "shout, cry" which comes from the Latin word
"clamo" ≈ "cry out, complain" which is related to the ancient Greek word
"καλέω" ≈ "call". The "
cl" in Latin changed into the "
ll" in Spanish as in
"llamar" ≈ "summon, call".
English: What is it called?
Spanish: ¿Cómo se llama?
Why do so many people who speak Spanish want others to join them and look at alpacas?
They are always saying, ¿Cómo se llama? (Come see the llama!)
246. Matthew 22:14 The chosen elect
247. Matthew 22:14 The cold and frozen elect
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
The Greek word translated as "called" is part of the Greek word for "church" as in those believers "called out".
The Greek word translated as "chosen" is that of "elected".
There is an old line, in or about
denominational churches (that have a
name), that goes as follows.
Instead of "many are called, but few are chosen",
the line is "many are cold, a few are frozen".
The line brings to mind the reference to
cold and
hot in the letter of Jesus to the Church of
Laodicea in Revelation.
248. Matthew 22:14 Many called and few chosen
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
Consider most sermons.
Who are the "many"?
Who are the "called"?
Who are the "few"?
Who are the "chose" or "elect"?
This verse is the only verse where Jesus makes this distinction of
"many",
"called",
"few" and
"chosen".
Should the Biblical context, as recorded by Matthew, be used in determining the meaning of these words?
249. Matthew 22:14 Many called and few chosen
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
Google
AI (Artificial Intelligence) answer on 2025-06-29:
Many are invited or called via the general call of the gospel, which is presented through the Bible, churches, missionaries, and any type of evangelism. Few are chosen means that, of those invited, only the elect (true followers of Jesus) will remain at the wedding feast in the kingdom of God.
Another question:
What is the difference between being called and being chosen?
Another answer:
However, being called is not enough to be a saint. We must respond to that calling (invitation). Positive action is required! To be chosen, a person must accept his or her calling, be grateful for it and move forward in serving God and His Son.
250. Matthew 22:10-13 Parable of the wedding feast
251. Matthew 22:10-11 Many called and few chosen
252. Matthew 22:12-14 Many called and few chosen
Matthew 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. [kjv]

22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
τοτε ο βασιλευς ειπεν τοις διακονοις δησαντες αυτου ποδας και χειρας εκβαλετε αυτον εις το σκοτος το εξωτερον εκει εσται ο κλαυθμος και ο βρυγμος των οδοντων [gnt]

253. Matthew 22:13-14 Many called and few chosen
Matthew 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. [kjv]
22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
"ὀλίγοι" ≈ "little in size, value, duration, etc." (plural).
"ὦ" ≈ "oh (joy or pain)".
"λυκοί" ≈ "wolves" (could be a type of "bird").
What does Jesus mean when he says that
"few" are
"chosen" or
"elected"? This verse is the
only verse where Jesus makes this distinction of
"many",
"called",
"few" and
"chosen".
Should the Biblical context, as recorded by Matthew, be used in determining the meaning of these words? Here are examples of multiple lists?
Santa: "naughty" and "nice".
Dean: "Dean's List" and "Dean's Other List".
What list or lists (sometimes called a book) does God have?
254. Chosen roosters
255. Matthew 22:14 Many called few chosen
Matthew 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
Paraphrase:
Many [city] are called [hairs] but few [O wolves] are chosen [roosters].
The Greek word for
"chosen" has the "
kle" and "
kto" onomatopoeic sounds of a
"bird" or
"rooster" as, in English, "
cluck" "
cluck".
You
cannot make (yourself or others) one

white/

257. Luke 14:7-24 Parables of the feast and great supper
In Luke 14, Luke presents two parables by Jesus.
The parable of the feast is a setup for
the parable of the great supper.
The parables of the feast and great supper fit in with the idea of "
taking it to the streets". However, the viewpoint is important in understanding the parables.
The sending out to the "
streets" and "
hedges" in the parable of the Great Supper has both an interesting interpretation and an interesting misinterpretation.
