Matthew 10:32-37 Confess the sword before men
1. Matthew 10:32-37 Confess the sword before men
2. Matthew 10
3. Matthew 10:32-37 Confess the sword before men
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
omnis … confitebitur … coram … confitebor … coram … [v]
10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [kjv]
10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [kjv]
10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. [kjv]
10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. [kjv]
4. Matthew 10:32 Confession reasoning
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
omnis … confitebitur … coram … confitebor … coram … [v]
Discuss: Is this a verbal "
confession"? Can actions determine a "
confession"?
The ancient Greek word
"ὁμολογέω" ≈ "agree" and means, literally, "
same reasoning" or "
same explanation" and can be "
same word" if "
word" is taken as "
reasoning".
The Latin word
"confiteor" ≈ "confess".
5. Matthew 10:32
KJV: Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Greek: πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις
Latin: omnis ergo qui confitebitur me coram hominibus confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo qui est in caelis
6. Matthew 10:33
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
7. Matthew 10:33
KJV: But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Greek: οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι αυτον καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις
8. Matthew 10:32-33 Confess or deny
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
omnis … confitebitur … coram … confitebor … coram … [v]
10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
These two verses address the issue both ways.
confess or
deny. Discuss:
Are "confess" and "deny", as used by Jesus, opposites?
If you "sell out" to the world, have you "denied" Christ?
How might one be deceived into either "not confessing" or "denying" without knowing that that is what one is really doing?
How might a "misinterpretation" of these verses be a "net" spread out for "birds"?
9. Matthew 10:34
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. [kjv]
10. Matthew 10:34
KJV: Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Greek: μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν
11. Matthew 10:35
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. [kjv]
12. Matthew 10:35
KJV: For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Greek: ηλθον γαρ διχασαι ανθρωπον κατα του πατρος αυτου και θυγατερα κατα της μητρος αυτης και νυμφην κατα της πενθερας αυτης
13. Matthew 10:36
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. [kjv]
και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικιακοι αυτου [gnt]
Does the "
household" include those in the "
house" that is built either on the "
rock" or on "
sand"?
If so, might the "
enemies" be part of the religious establishment?
14. Matthew 10:36
KJV: And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Greek: και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικιακοι αυτου
15. Matthew 10:37
Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. [kjv]
16. Matthew 10:37
KJV: He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Greek: ο φιλων πατερα η μητερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος και ο φιλων υιον η θυγατερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
17. Matthew 10: 28-31 Taking care of the sparrows
Matthew 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. [kjv]
10:30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [kjv]
10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. [kjv]
The ancient Greek word
"στρουθός" ≈ "sparrow". The "
sparrow" bird appears two times in the
LXX (Septuagint) and four times in the
GNT (Greek New Testament). In the
GNT, the translation is of humans being of "
more value" than the "
sparrows" but the Greek says that you are (or should be) "
different".
Paraphrase:
All the sparrows (of the evil one) who sell themselves (or others) out for earthly gain will fall on that earthly ground because they are without God the Father.
