Matthew 9:32-38 Casting out and harvest workers
1. Matthew 9:32-38 Casting out and harvest workers
2. Matthew 9:32
Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. [kjv]
αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω κωφον δαιμονιζομενον [gnt]
3. Matthew 9:32
KJV: As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Greek: αυτων δε εξερχομενων ιδου προσηνεγκαν αυτω ανθρωπον κωφον δαιμονιζομενον
4. Matthew 9:33
Matthew 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. [kjv]
και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ [gnt]
5. Matthew 9:33
KJV: And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Greek: και εκβληθεντος του δαιμονιου ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι λεγοντες οτι ουδεποτε εφανη ουτως εν τω ισραηλ
6. Matthew 9:34
Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. [kjv]
οι οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια [gnt]
The exact word
"ἐκβᾰ́λλει" ≈ "throw out" is used here by the Pharisees as recorded by Matthew.
Before the "
casting out" there is some uncertainty. After the "
casting out" it is more certain what was there. This is a fundamental idea of
information.
Card games:
You've got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em. From the song
The Gambler made popular by Kenny Rogers (1978).
7. Song: The gambler
In the 1978 hit song "
The gambler", Kenny Rogers sings about card game strategy where one needs to know that, without looking (keeping in the game) it may be necessary to fold. The song hit #1 on the country charts and became Kenny Rogers signature song.
You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away, know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table,
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
If "
X" is "
counting your money" then "
X"
does not matter while the game is not done.
8. Matthew 9:34 Projection
Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. [kjv]
οι οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια [gnt]
When the Pharisees accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the prince of demons in the following verse, might this be a case of what is projection in psychology whereby one accuses someone else of doing what you are doing.
9. Matthew 9:34
KJV: But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
Greek: οι οι δε φαρισαιοι ελεγον εν τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
10. Matthew 9:35
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [kjv]
11. Matthew 9:35
KJV: And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Greek: και περιηγεν ο ιησους τας πολεις πασας και τας κωμας διδασκων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων και κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας και θεραπευων πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν εν τω λαω
12. Matthew 9:36
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. [kjv]
13. Matthew 9:36
KJV: But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Greek: ιδων δε τους οχλους εσπλαγχνισθη περι αυτων οτι ησαν εκλελυμενοι εσκυλμενοι και ερριμμενοι ωσει προβατα μη εχοντα ποιμενα
14. Reflexive harvest
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
"θέρμη" ≈ "heat".
"θερμός" ≈ "warm, hot, boiling".
"θερισμός" ≈ "harvest".
Related English words include "
thermal", "
thermos", "
thermodynamics", etc.
In the
GNT (Greek New Testament), the Greek word for
"harvest" has a double meaning based as a
reflexive (self-referential) relationship. Apparently, the harvest at the end of the age could be warm too (and not global warming). When exactly is the
"harvest"?
15. Matthew 9:37 Standing out
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
Both football players and farmers like to be "
outstanding in their field".
Notice that, speaking of the
"harvest", Jesus does not say anything about needing "
leaders". He needs "
followers" who will do "
work" without other human "
supervision".
16. Standing out
That leaves the second step which is to work what grows until the harvest. This is done by the "
workers" or "
laborers".
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
Note that the "
workers" help to "
grow" the "
fruit" for the
"harvest". A reflexive relationship exists in that the "
workers" are also part of the
"harvest" as "
fruit".
17. Matthew 9:37 Omens
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι [gnt]
Latin "omen" ≈ "foreboding, omen".
Greek "ο μεν" ≈ "that on the one hand".
Might there me an
"omen" here (on the one hand)?
Greek:
... on the one hand harvest many but on the other hand ... the workers [oath-takers] are few [oh wolves]
Might an
"omen" be that later, during the Latin influence, definitions/mountains were moved, leaven mixed in, etc., to obscure the meaning of this verse?
18. Matthew 9:37
KJV: Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Greek: τοτε λεγει τοις μαθηταις αυτου ο μεν θερισμος πολυς οι δε εργαται ολιγοι
Latin: tunc dicit discipulis suis messis quidem multa operarii autem pauci
Tyndale: Then sayde he to hys disciples: the hervest is greate but the laborers are feawe.
Luther: Da sprach er zu seinen Jüngern: Die Ernte ist groß; aber wenig sind der Arbeiter.
19. Prayer beads, Beade, and year dates
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
The Old English word
"biddan" ≈ "ask, demand" and is the source of English words such as
"bid",
"bidding",
"bead" an it prayer beads, etc. This word was combined/conflated with the Old English word
"beodan" ≈ "offer, announce".
The monk
Beade, whose name meant
"prayer", starting dating events using the (incorrect dating system for the) birth of Christ. This calendar dating system is still used today. Beade used the term "
Easter" and it appears to have been used ever since.

23. Matthew 9:38 Casting out
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
The ancient Greek word
"ἐκβάλλω" ≈ "throw/cast out". It is not clear how the translation of
"send forth" follows from the definition of the Greek word.
The Latin word
"eicio" ≈ "cast/drive out".
24. Matthew 9:38 Summer harvest
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
The Greek word for
"summer" is related to the Greek word for
"harvest" which, according to Jesus, is at the end of the ages.
The ancient Greek word
"θερίζω" ≈ "reap" as in the
"harvest". The ancient Greek word
"θερός" ≈ "heat" as in the
"summer".
25. Matthew 9:38
KJV: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Greek: δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου
Latin: rogate ergo dominum messis ut eiciat operarios in messem suam
Wessex: biddað þas ripes hlaford þt he sende ripten (sic) to his ripe.
Gothic: bidjith nu fraujan asanais ei ussandjai waurstwjans in asan seina.
Luther: Darum bittet den Herrn der Ernte, daß er Arbeiter in seine Ernte sende!
26. Philippians 3:2 Roman k sound
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. [kjv]
βλεπετε τους κυνας βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας βλεπετε την κατατομην [gnt]
videte canes videte malos operarios videte concisionem [v]
The three word groups all start with the Greek "
K" or "
Kappa" letter. The "
beware" means "
see" or "
observe".
"κυνας" ≈ "dogs" (apparent reference to the Cynics).
"κακους εργατας" ≈ "bad workers" (faith by required works).
"κατατομην" ≈ "concision" (Jews with extra required rules).
In Roman times, the letter "
k" was considered sinister and, in most cases, the Roman "
c", with the same "
k" sound, was used. Thus, "
Caesar" was pronounced as "
Kaiser". Carthage: Latin "
Karthago" as "
new Tyre", "
Punic" as "
Phoenician".
Later, the hard Latin "
c" as "
k" changed to the softer "
c" as "
s" or "
ch" as in "
church". The German word
"die Kirche" ≈ "church".
