Luke 1.8: Now, it was
caused to be in the arrangement of his daily serving as a priest, he was in front of [before] Theos
down to custom of the priestly function. His lot was to burn incense while entering into the Kuriou [“Holy
of Holies” or most sacred room of the Temple]. And all the populace of the
people was proseuchomenon [humbly begging God, praying] outside at the hour of the burning of incense.
Now, he gazed wide-eyed at an aggelos [messenger, angel] of the Kuriou [Lord,
Master] who was standing emergent
from the right of the altar of incense. And Zekaryahuw [in Hebrew, Zacharias
in Greek, Zachary or Zachariah in American] was agitated, seeing the angel and fear seized upon him but
the aggelos said to him,
“Not
fear, Zachariah, since your deesis [petition, request, prayer] was heard and your gune [woman, wife], Elizabeth,
will give birth to a son to you and you shall call the name of the same, John.
And he shall be to you chara [cheerfulness, calm delight, joy] and
exultation and many will rejoice over his birth for he will be megas in
the face [eyes] of the Kuriou and he may imbibe neither wine nor hard liquor and he will
be filled of the Hagios Pneuma, even as emerging from his mother’s womb. And he
will revert many of the sons of Israel onto the Kurion their Theos. And he will
precede Him [Jesus] in His face
[sight] in the Hagios Pneuma
and the dunamei [force, power] of Elijah to revert the hearts of the
fathers upon their children and to revert the insubordinate into the mentality of the dikaion [equitable,
just, right]; to prepare for the Kurio a people having been thoroughly
prepared.”
MALACHI
4.6: And He shall turn back the hearts of the fathers to the sons and the sons
to their fathers.
Luke
1.26: Now in the sixth month, the aggelos Gabriel was sent forth (by Theos) into a city of Galilee (which
is named Nazareth) to a parthenon [maiden, virgin] having been engaged
to a man whose name was Joseph, emergent from the house of David. And the name
of the maiden was Mariam [in Greek,
“Maryam” in Hebrew, “Mary” in American].
And
entering to her, the aggelos said,
“Cheers, to you, the one charitoo [receiving graciousness]! The Kurios is amidst you. Eulogemene [Spoken well of, Praised, Blessed] are you in [among] gunaichsin [women]!” And seeing that she was totally disturbed over his logo [word] and that she was thoroughly analyzing what possible sort of greeting this might be, the aggelos said to her, “Not fear, Mary, for you have found charin [graciousness] from beside Theos and LO! you will conceive in your stomach [womb] and bear a son, and you will call his name Jesus. The same will be megas and will be called the Son of the Highest. And the Kurios Theos will give to Him the throne of His forefather David and He will rule over the house of Jacob to the ages and there won’t be an end to His royalty.”
Luke 1.39: And in these days rising, amidst speed, Mary traveled into the hill country into a city of Judah and entering into the dwelling of Zachariah, hugged Elizabeth. And it was caused to be that as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby jumped for joy in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Hagios Pneuma and she exclaimed with a megale phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] and said, “You eulogemene of gunaichi and eulogemene is the fruit of your womb. And why is this happening to me? in order that the mother of my Kuriou comes to me for LO! as the phone of your greeting came into my ears, the babe (in my womb) jumped inexultation. And makaria [supremely blest] is the one pisteusasa [having faith] because there will be a completion to the words spoken to her from beside the Kuriou.”
1.46 Mary said, “My psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] megaluno the Kurion and my pneuma [breath, spirit] exults over Theos my Soteri [Deliverer, Savior] because He gazed with favor upon the low estate of His slave. For LO! from now on all the generations me makariouai [will call supremely blest] for the Mighty One magnificently did to me and Hagiou is His name, and His eleos [compassion, pity, mercy] is to generations of generations of those fearing Him.”
PSALM 103.17: The kindness of YHWH is from eternity even so far as eternity on fearers of Him.
Luke 2.8: And in the same territory there were shepherds camping out and keeping guard (in the night) over their flock. And LO! an aggelos of the Kuriou stood before them and the glory of the Kuriou illuminated all around them, making it as light as day. And they feared with megan fear and the aggelos said to them, “Not fear for LO! I euaggelizouai [announce good news] to you of megalen charan [cheerfulness, calm delight, joy] which will be to all the people because on the [this] day was born to you a Soter [Deliverer, Savior] who is the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], the Kurios, in the City of David. And this is a semeion [sign, indication] to you. You will find a baby (having been swathed in burial strips) lying in a manger.”And suddenly there were caused to be with the aggelos a throng of the heavenly army praising Theos and saying, “Glory in the Highest [Heaven] to Theos and upon the earth, peace in men of His satisfaction.”
Luke
4.31: And He went down into Capernaum, Galilee
and He was teaching them in [on] the sabbaths. And they were amazed over
His teaching because His logos was in mastery [authority]. And in the
synagogue, there was a man holding an impure pneuma of a demon and it shrieked
out with a megale phone, saying,
“Aha! and what is
there to us and to You, Jesus? Nazarene! Did You come to fully destroy us?
I know You, Who YOU ARE! YOU ARE the
Hagios One of Theos!”
And
Jesus admonished him, saying,
“Shut up and issue forth emergent from him.”
And
flinging him down in their midst, the demon issued forth from him; not in no
way hindering [harming] him. And there was caused to be amazement upon
all, and they conversed to one another, saying,
“What
is this logos that in mastery and
dunamei [forces, powers, power works] He orders the impure pneumasi and
they come out?”
And a rumor was projected (concerning Him) to every place in the surrounding region.
4.38:
And rising up emergent from the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon [in
Greek; “Simeon” in Hebrew: “Hearing”]. The mother-in-law of Simon was
besieged with a megalo fever, and they made request (concerning her) of
Him. And standing over her, He admonished the fever, and it instantly went
forth from her and arising, she served them.
Luke
7.11: And it was caused to be in the next day, that He traveled into a city called
Nain [“Pleasantness”], Galilee and
an ample number of His mathetai [learners, pupils, disciples] and a
great crowd journeyed with Him. Now, as He approached the gate of the city, LO! the onlyborn son of his mother (and
she was a widow) having died, his body
was being borne forth for burial. And
the populace of the city appropriately was with her. And the Kurios had His
splen [spleen, guts, bowels, sympathy] yearn over her and said to her,
“Not sob!”
And approaching, He
touched the bier. Now, those bearing the
bier stood still. And He said,
“Youth! to you I say, eleken [arise]!”
And the formerly dead
one sat up and began to speak and He gave him back to his mother. And fear seized all and they glorified Theos,
saying,
“A
megas Prophetes [before teller, prophet] has risen in us, and
Theos has visited His people.”
And
this logos (concerning Him) issued forth in the whole of Judea and in the whole
surrounding region.
Luke
8.26: And they sailed down into the territory of the Gadarenes which is on the
opposite side of the Sea from
Galilee. Now, He issuing upon the land, a certain man (emergent from the city)
encountered Him, who had had demons
for some time, and he not put on clothing and not stayed in a house but stayed
in the tombs. Now, seeing Jesus and shrieking out, he prostrated himself
before Him and with a megale phone, said,
“What
is there between me and You, Jesus,
Son of Theos the Highest? I beg You not
to torture me!”
For
He had commanded the impure pneumati
to come forth from the man. For many times it [they] had seized him and
he was [had been] shackled with manacles and shackles and was being guarded when tearing apart the bands, he was driven into the wastelands
under the power of the demons. Now,
Jesus questioned him [the spokes-spook], saying,
“What is your name?”
Now,
he said,
“Legion,”
because
many demons had entered him and they implored Him in order that He not
order them to go off into the abusson [depthless, bottomless, abyss].
Now, there was a considerable herd of swine rooting in the mountain and they [the
demons] implored Him in order that He would allow them to enter those swine. Now, issuing emergent from the
man, the demons entered the swine and the herd bolted down the precipice into
the lake and was drowned. Now, the herdsmen (seeing the event being caused to be) ran away. And going off, they announced these events to the city [Gadara, the
capital of the Roman province of Peraea] and to the country. Now, they came
forth to see the event (being caused
to be) and came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had issued,
clothed and of sound mind, sitting down near the feet of Jesus. And they were
frightened. Now, those seeing how the man formerly
manipulated by demons was esothe [made safe, saved], they apaggeilan [reported]
this to them. And the populace
all around the region of the Gadarenes requested Him to go away from them
because they were gripped with megalo fear. Now, He (embarking into the
sailboat) returned to Galilee. Now,
the man, from whom the demons had issued, begged to be with Him but Jesus dismissed
him, saying,
“Return to your home and tell everything, especially
of what Theos did to you.”
And
he went off (down the whole of the city) kerusson [proclaiming, heralding] what
things Jesus did to him.
Luke
9.46: Now, a discussion entered [arose] in [among] them as to who of them might be the meizon [larger,
greater]. Now, Jesus having seen the discussion [reasonings] of
their hearts, grabbing a boy-child, He
stood him beside Himself and said to them,
“Whoever receives this child over My name, receives
Me and whoever receives Me, receives the One
having sent out Me. For the mikroteros [lesser] existing in all of you,
the same shall be megas.”
Luke
19.35: And they led it toward Jesus. And throwing upon the young ass their outer garments, they caused Jesus to
mount it.
II
Kings 9.13: They hurried and took off (each man) his outer garment
and put them under his bones and blew with the ram’s horn [Shofar] and
said [shouted],
“Jehu
[in Hebrew & written as “YHWH”, Americanized to
“Jehovah”] reigns!
[Luke
resumes] Now,
Him going, they [others] spread out their outer garments in the road for
the ass to walk upon them. And even now (drawing near to the descent of the
Mount of Olives), all the crowd of
the matheton began rejoicing to praise Theos with megale phone
concerning all the dunamen [works of power] they had seen, saying,
“Blest
is the King coming in the name [authority] of the Kuriou!”
PSALM
118.26: “Kneel to Him, coming in the name [authority] of YHWH!”
[Luke
resumes]
“Shalom [safety, peace, health,
happiness, prosperity, friendship] in Ourano [Heaven] and glory in the
Highest [level of Heaven?]”
And
some of the Pharisees (from the crowd) said toward Him,
“Teacher! admonish Your mathetais!” And answering, He said to them, “I tell you that if these are caused to be silent, the stones kekrxontai [ will shriek, will scream, will cry out, will caw as ravens]!”
Luke
24.50: Now, He led them forth out as far as Bethany
[“House of Figs”, a village on the southeastern slope of the Mount of
Olives, about two miles east of Jerusalem] and raising up His hands, He
eulogesen [fine spoke, commended, blessed] them. And it was caused to be
in His eulogein of them, He withdrew from them. And they, proskunesantes [having
worshipped, as a dog licks his master’s hand] Him, returned into Jerusalem
amidst megales charas [joyfulness] and were via all [continually]
in the Temple ainountes [praising] and eulogountes [speaking well
of, blessing] Theos. Amen!
Acts
4.32: Now, the mass of those pisteusanton [having faith] were of one heart and psuche and not
even one (to anything he owned) said these
were his own property; conversely, to them all was common property. And with megale dunamei, the apostoloi gave [presented]
the evidence [testimony] of the anastaseos [a standing up again,
resurrection] of the Kuriou Jesus. And megale charis [graciousness]
was upon all of them for neither existed needy in [among] them for
as many as were owners of plots of land or homes, having sold them, brought the value [money] paid
of [for] those possessions
being sold and placed the money at
the feet of the apostolon. Now, it was meted out to each as much as what he had
any need.
Acts
10.44: While Rock was still speaking these rhemata [utterances], the
Hagios Pneuma embraced [grabbed, descended upon] all those hearing the
logon. And those pistoi [trustworthy, faithful] of the circumcision, who
had come with Rock, marveled because the gratuity of the Hagios Pneuma was
poured forth on the ethne [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] for they
heard them speaking in glossais [tongues, languages] and megalunonton
[declaring mega] Theos. Then Rock began to speak.
“Can
anyone block the application of water?
that these not baptisthenai [be
baptized], who also have received the Hagios Pneuma, just as we have.”
He
arranged [instructed] that
they also baptisthenai in the name [authority] of the Kuriou. Then they
requested him to stay over some days.
“These men are slaves
of the Highest Theos, who kataggellousin [promulgate, publish, officially
make known] to us the road [way] of soterias [rescue, safety,
salvation].”
Now,
she did this upon
many days, but Paul was being (caused to be) irritated and turning to the
pneumati [spirits], said,
“I
command you in the name of Jesus, the Christou, to come forth from her.”
And
it came forth at that same hour [very
time].
16.19:
Now, her kurioi, seeing that their elpis [expectation, hope] of profit
had come out of her, seized Paul and
Silas, and dragged them toward the rulers into the town
square. And having led them toward the magistrates, they said,
“These
men are wholly disturbing to our city and having been born Jews, they
kataggellousin [promulgate, officially make known] customs which aren’t
proper for us to accept nor to do, being Romans.”
And
the crowd stood together with them,
down on them [Paul and Silas]. And the magistrates, tearing their
clothes off them, ordered the lictors
to flog them (Paul and Silas) with rods.
They were both imposing many strokes on them and throwing them into a place of confinement,
charging the jailer securely to guard them, who accepting this sort of charge,
threw them into the interior keep [cell] and rendered their feet secure
into timber [stocks]. Now down to midnight, Paul and Silas
proseuchomenoi and humnoun [hymned,
sang praises] to Theos. Now, the other prisoners intently listened to
them. Now, there unexpectedly was caused to be a megas earthquake such
that the foundations of the place were broken
open. Also, all the doors and all the shackles instantly were loosened.
Now, the jailer being caused to be awake and seeing the doors of the keep
having been opened (having drawn his knife), was about to do away with himself;
supposing the prisoners to have escaped. But Paul called out with a megale phone,
saying,
“Do
not even one kakon [worthless] act to yourself for we
are all within.”
Now,
asking for a light, he rushed in and being caused to be terrified, he
prostrated himself before Paul and Silas. And having led them outside, he said,
“Kurioi!
what is it necessary for me to do in order that I may be sotho [be made
safe, be saved]?”
Now,
they said,
“Pisteuson
[have reliance, have faith] upon the Kurion, Jesus, the Christon, and
you will be sothese; you and your household.”
And
they spoke to him and to all those in
his house, the Logon of the Kuriou. And taking them in that very hour of the night, he washed their
stripes and was immediately ebaptisthe; he and all those of his household. Leading them up to his house,
he both presented them a table of food and exulted with his whole household, pepisteukos [having put all
their faith] in Theos.
Hebrews
1: In many times and in many ways of old [long ago], Theos spoke to the forefathers via prophetai. In these last
days, He spoke to us in the Son Whom
He appointed heir of all, in fact via Whom He made the ages [eternity].
Who [Jesus] being the radiance of the glory and the charakter [express
human image] of Him and upholding all by the dunamis of His rhemai [utterances],
having made katharismos [purging] of our hamarton [misses of the mark
or goal; errors, offenses, sins] via Himself [Jesus], He sat down at the right of the Megalesunes
[Majesty] on high. By being (caused to be) so much better than the aggelon, He has
inherited a name more excellent than them for to which of the aggelon has the Father said,
“YOU ARE My Son. Today I gegeneka [have created,
have given birth to] You.”
PSALM 2.7: “I will declare of the statute of YHWH:
He said to Me, ‘YOU ARE My Son. Today
I have yalad [given birth to] You.’”
[Paul continues] And again, “I
will be to and for Him a Father. He shall be to and for Me a Son.”
2nd SAMUEL 7.14: [YHWH speaking] “I shall be to and for Him a Father, and He shall be to and for Me a Son.”
[Paul continues] And again (when He brings the First-born into the oikoumenen [habitable land]), He says, “Let all the aggeloi of Theos proskunsatosan [worship, as a dog licks his master’s hand] Him.” And as to the aggeloi, He says, “… Who making His aggelous pneumata [winds, breaths, spirits] and His servants a flame of fire.”
PSALM 104.4: [YHWH] “He makes His malak [aggeloi] ruwach [pneumai]; His servants a flame of fire.”
[Paul again] But as to the Son, He says, “Your throne, O Theos! is to the ages of the ages [forever]. The rod [scepter] of Your rectitude is the rod of Your Kingdom. You egapesas [unconditionally loved] dikaiosunen [equity, justification, rightness] and detested lawlessness; therefore, Theos (Your Theos) anointed You with oil of gladness above Your fellows. At the beginning, You (Kurie!) founded the earth and the ouranoi are the works of Your hands. They will perish but You will remain. All creation shall be caused to be old (as a garment) and You shall roll them up (as a covering) and they shall be changed but YOU ARE the same and Your years shan’t fail.”
PSALM 45.6: [YHWH] “Your throne (O Elohiym!) is forever. A scepter of rectitude is the scepter of Your Kingdom. You aheb
[phile: love] right and sane [hate] the wrong therefore Elohiym
(Your Elohiym) has anointed You with oil of gladness more than Your fellows;
myrrh, aloes, and cassia upon all
Your garments.”
PSALM 102.25: [YHWH] “Of old You founded the earth. The shamayim [ouranoi] are the work of Your hands. They perish but You shall stand. Yes, they all shall grow old (as a garment). You shall change them (as clothing) and they shall be changed but YOU ARE HE and Your years shan’t be ended.”
