Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.]
1st
Corinthians 1.19: For it has been written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the
wise and I will set aside the understanding of the analysts.”
ISAIAH 29.14: [Adonay speaking] “LO! I AM adding a wonder: to do distinguishingly with this people; even a wonder. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish and the understanding of their analysts shall be corked up.”
1st Corinthians continued: Where is the wise? Where is the grammateus? Where is the sophos [disputer, sophist] of this age? Didn't Theos make the wisdom of this kosmou [universe, world, cosmos] foolish?
Luke 5.17: And it was caused to be (in one of those days) He was also teaching. And there were sitting down Pharisees and nomodidskaloi [expounders of Jewish Law – Rabbis] who were coming emergent from every hamlet of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem. And the dunamis [force. power] of the Kuriou was into the curing of them. And LO! men bearing upon a couch a man who was enfeebled [paralyzed]. And they sought to bring him in and put him before His face. And not finding any way to bring him in via [through] the throng, going up upon the roof, they lowered him with the couch (via removing the roofing tiles) into the midst in front of Jesus. And seeing their pistin [faith], He said to him, “Man! your hamartiai [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses sins] apheontai [have been sent forth, have been forsaken, have been forgiven] you.” And the grammateis and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this One Who speaks blasphemies [defamation, slander, vilification, blasphemy]? Who has the dunatai to send forth hamartias if not [except] Theos alone?”
Luke 9.20: Now, He said
to them, “Now, Whom do you say Me to
be?” Now, answering, Rock said, “The Christon [Anointed One, Mashyach,
Christ] of Theos.” But forbidding [enjoining] them, He ordered that not
even one of them was to tell this,
saying, “It is necessary that [for] the Son of Man to
suffer much and to be disapproved from the elders and the chief priests and the grammateon and to be killed and to be awakened on
the third day.”
Luke 11.43: Woe to you Pharisees because you agapate [unconditionally love] the chief seat in the synagogue and the greetings in the marketplace! Woe to you Pharisee grammateis, hupokritai [deceivers, hypocrites]! because you are as the hidden tombs and the men are walking all around over them, not knowing they are there.”
Luke 11.53: Now, as He was saying these words to them, the Pharisee grammateis began to feel hatred and apostomatzein [enviously catechized] Him concerning more, lurking [lying in wait] for Him and seeking to catch something emergent from His mouth in order that they might indict Him.
Luke
20.37: Now, that the dead are called in [raised], even Moses recalled at the
bush, in that he relates the name of
the Kurion, “The Theos of Abraham and the Theos of Isaac and the Theos of
Jacob.”
EXODUS
3.6: [YHWH speaking] He said, “I AM
Elohiym of your forefathers!
Elohiym of Abraham! Elohiym of Isaac! Elohiym of Jacob!’”
Luke
continued: “But He is not the Theos of the dead;
conversely, of the living for all live to Him.” Now, answering, one of the grammateis
said, “Teacher! You speak well!”
Now,
they no longer dared question Him further.
Luke 22: Now, the Feast
of the Unleavened Bread (described as
“The Passover”) was approaching and the chief priests and the grammateis
sought how to do away with Him (covertly,
since they feared the people).
Mark 12.28: And one grammateon approaching (hearing them debating and knowing that He had answered them well), asked Him, “What is the foremost of all commands?” Now, Jesus answered him, “The foremost of all the commands: ‘Hear O Israel! The Kurios, our Theos, is One and you shall agapeseis the Kurion, your Theos, emergent from your whole heart and emergent from your whole psuches [soul, life, psyche, ego] and emergent from your whole dianoias [deep thought, mind] and emergent from your whole ischuos [forcefulness, strength]!’”
DEUTERONOMY 6.4: Intelligently hear, O Israel! YHWH is our Elohiym! YHWH is One! You shall awhab [phile, love] YHWH your Elohiym with the whole of your heart and the whole of your nephesh [psuche] and the whole of your might!
Mark continued: “This is the foremost command and the second is similar: ‘You shall agapeseis your neighbor in the same way that you love yourself.’ Another command isn’t meizon [greater] than these.”
LEVITICUS 19.18: “… and you shall ahhab an associate as yourself. I AM YHWH!”
Mark continued: And the grammateus said to Him, “Well said, Teacher! Upon truth You say that Theos is One and there isn’t another besides Him and to agapan Him emergent from the whole heart and the whole dianoias and emergent from the whole psuches and emergent from the whole ischuos, and to agapan the [one’s] neighbor in the same way that one loves oneself, is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” And Jesus seeing him, that he intelligently answered, said to him, “You aren’t far from the Kingdom of Theos.”
