#health #biblestudy #newtestamentgreek
Now that I've almost after three weeks finished spewing toxic acid waste from my sinuses and elsewhere weekend bible study posts resume.
A note to GooglePlus followers I have two other blogs (metousia and glyphika) and if you're not interested in New testament greek please refer this particular blog to someone who might benefit from it? Also note I have some new ideas for Greek mythology posts but have been unable to write up my notes due to illness.
Severe Bronchitis sinusitis rhinitis all painfully combined ...
Back to Matthew after a short break for more coughing ...
Matthew 11 25-30
25 in this time or on this occassion declared (aorist passive participle made this statement) Jesus said
I thank / acknowledge / praise exxomologeoo middle ) to you father lord of the heaven and the earth that you hide these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to infants
26 yes father that such was your grace/ good will
27 all things to me have been delivered by the father of me and no one knows the son if not the father nor does one the father know if not the son and who ever / anyone to whom whenever he chooses the son reveals
28 here then towards me alllwho work hard and are heavily burdened and I will give you release / rest (verb anapausoo) you
29 take up my yoke / harness for ploughs upon you ( the very poor who owned no livestock would have to yoke themselves to a plow) and learn from me that gentle I am and humble in the heart and you will find rest for your souls
30 for the yoke mine is loving and the burden mine light is.
One should remember this was an era in which iron plows were rare and plowing truly was manual labour !
