Matthew 10:38-39 Commanded to follow in the cross walk
1. Matthew 10:38-39 Commanded to follow in the cross walk
2. Matthew 10
3. Matthew 10:38-39 Commanded to follow in the cross walk
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [kjv]
και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος [gnt]
… non … crucem … sequitur … non … dignus [v]
10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. [kjv]
ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην [gnt]
The English word
"acolyte" comes from the late Latin word
"acolythus" ≈ "acolyte" which comes from the ancient Greek word
"ἀκόλουθος" ≈ "following, attending". That word comes from
"κέλευθος" ≈ "road, way, path" which is from
"κελεύω" ≈ "urge, command" which appears in the
KJV (King James Version) and the
LXX (Septuagint).
The idea appears to be that if one is not commanding or leading than one is following or attending. We are told to be "
followers" and not "
leaders" in the human sense of the word. An interesting use of the word for
"command" appears in a verse for the "
rapture" and often translated as
"shout".
4. Matthew 10:38 Following in the crosswalk
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [kjv]
και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος [gnt]
… non … crucem … sequitur … non … dignus [v]
The Greek for
"worthy" is related to the English word
"axiom" as in something important or
"worthy".
5. Matthew 10:39 Lost and found
6. Matthew 10:39 Lost and found
Matthew 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. [kjv]
ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην [gnt]
Consider the following words as related.
"bind", "glue", "find".
"loose", "separate", "cut-off", "pluck-out", "lose", "release".
Paraphrase:
He who finds/glues/binds his life (to this world) will lose/separate/loose it (in eternity). He that loses/separates/looses his life (from this world) for my sake will find/glue/bind that life (to me in eternity).
7. Usage - find
*G2147 *175 εὑρίσκω (hyoo-ris'-ko) : heuro hyoo'-ro, which (together with another cognate form) heureo hyoo-reh'-o is used for it in all the tenses except the present and imperfect to find (literally or figuratively):--find, get, obtain, perceive, see.

8. Matthew 10:38
KJV: And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Greek: και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
Latin: et qui non accipit crucem suam et sequitur me non est me dignus
9. Non sequitur: to follow or not follow Jesus
Matthew 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [kjv]
και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος [gnt]
… non … crucem … sequitur … non … dignus [v]
In reasoning and logic, the Latin phrase
"non sequitur" ≈ "does not follow" is a conclusion that does not follow from the reasoning process used. It is sometimes called an "
irrelevant conclusion".
Luke 9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. [kjv]
Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. [kjv]
How do both of these sayings of Jesus "
follow"? Do you follow?
10. Matthew 10:39
KJV: He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Greek: ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην

15. Matthew 15:35 Jesus
Matthew 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. [kjv]
και παραγγειλας τω οχλω αναπεσειν επι την γην [gnt]
… praecepit … [v]
Jesus transmits a message to the crowd. The Greek word translated as
"command" in the
KJV is the ancient Greek word
"παραγγέλλω" ≈ "pass on, transmit a message" and can, depending on context, be "
to give orders" or "
to encourage".
Some Greek versions use the Greek word for "
command".
The ancient Greek word
"ὄχλος" ≈ "multitude, crown" and may, thorough the Greek digamma, be related to the German word
"Volk" ≈ "people" as in "
Volkswagen" and to the English word
"folk".
It is unclear why The Latin uses the word
"praecipio" ≈ "take, seize, anticipate, order, command, teach, instruct".
16. Matthew 15:35
KJV: And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Greek: και εκελευσεν τοις οχλοις παραγγειλας τω οχλω αναπεσειν επι την γην
Latin: et praecepit turbae ut discumberet super terram

19. Matthew 27:58 Pilate
20. Matthew 27:58
KJV: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Greek: ουτος προσελθων τω πιλατω ητησατο το σωμα του ιησου τοτε ο πιλατος εκελευσεν αποδοθηναι το σωμα
Latin: hic accessit ad Pilatum et petiit corpus Iesu tunc Pilatus iussit reddi corpus
21. Proverbs 30:27 Locusts and commands
Proverbs talks of a delocalized group of
"insects" that are coordinated in their efforts via an otherwise unspecified "
command".
KJV:
Proverbs 30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; [kjv]
αβασιλευτον εστιν η ακρις και εκστρατευει αφ ενος κελευσματος ευτακτως [lxx]
The locusts have no king, and yet march orderly at one command. [bs3]
… locust … no kyng… goith out … [wy]
The opposite of the Greek word for "
command" is that of "
follow". Jesus says to "
follow" him,
not be a "
leader" and "
command" in the human organizational (house of sand) sense.
22. Proverbs 30:27
KJV: The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
Hebrew: מלך אין לארבה ויצא חצץ כלו׃
Greek: αβασιλευτον εστιν η ακρις και εκστρατευει αφ ενος κελευσματος ευτακτως
Brenton: The locusts have no king, and yet march orderly at one command.
Wycliffe: a locust hath no kyng, and al goith out bi cumpanyes; an euete enforsith with hondis,
23. Amos 7:1
Amos 7:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. [kjv]
ουτως εδειξεν μοι κυριος και ιδου επιγονη ακριδων ερχομενη εωθινη και ιδου βρουχος εις γωγ ο βασιλευς [lxx]
Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog. [bs3]
To set up the use of the
"plumb line" words an Amos 7:7-8, the verses from the start of chapter 7 are covered.
The
LXX includes the words for
"King" and
"Gog" as in
"Gog" and "
Magog" which feature prominently in Ezekiel's prophecy of
"Gog" and "
Magog". Did the
LXX add these words or might they have been removed later?
24. Ezekiel 38:2 Gog
Gog appears in an interesting end times prophecy in Ezekiel that appears to talk about the use of
nuclear weapons. Ezekiel 38 is about the attack and defeat while Ezekiel 39 is about the required
cleanup after the battle.
Ezekiel 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, [kjv]
υιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι γωγ και την γην του μαγωγ αρχοντα ρως μοσοχ και θοβελ και προφητευσον επ αυτον [lxx]
Son of man, set your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him, [bs3]
Did the
LXX add the name of the "
chief prince" as
"ρως" ≈ "Rhos", the traditional name of
Russia? Or might it have been removed from the
HOT (Hebrew Old Testament)? Another prominent attacker is in the land of Persia or, today, Iran.

38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: [kjv]

26. Ezekiel 38:4
KJV: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Hebrew: ושובבתיך ונתתי חחים בלחייך והוצאתי אותך ואת כל חילך סוסים ופרשים לבשי מכלול כלם קהל רב צנה ומגן תפשי חרבות כלם׃
Greek: και συναξω σε και πασαν την δυναμιν σου ιππους και ιππεις ενδεδυμενους θωρακας παντας συναγωγη πολλη πελται και περικεφαλαιαι και μαχαιραι

28. Ezekiel 38:2
KJV: Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Hebrew: בן אדם שים פניך אל גוג ארץ המגוג נשיא ראש משך ותבל והנבא עליו׃
Greek: υιε ανθρωπου στηρισον το προσωπον σου επι γωγ και την γην του μαγωγ αρχοντα ρως μοσοχ και θοβελ και προφητευσον επ αυτον
Brenton: Son of man, set your face against Gog, and the land of Magog, Rhos, prince of Mesoch and Thobel, and prophesy against him,
29. John
Getting back to "
following", here are some verses from John. Jesus speaks the following at the end of the story of the women caught in adultery. The Pharisees then question Jesus on his record. The Greek adds the double negative for emphasis whereas the English has only one "
not".
