The Messianic Whipper Snapper, with N. Clayton Croy: John 2:15 11:53

6d ago11:53

11:53

The RSV's translation of the "cleansing of the temple" in John 2:15 is in part, "And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple." John's Greek, however, suggests that Jesus was using the whip only on the animals, which might have other implications for interpretation. Dr. Croyis the author of a widely used…

The New Creation Story of Jesus Christ, with David Capes: Matthew 1:1 9:18

13d ago9:18

9:18

The opening words of Matthew's Gospel are translated as, "An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah" (NRSV), or "This is the genealogy . . ." (NIV), or "This is a record of the ancestors . . ." (NLT). A comparison with the parallels in Genesis and a look at what Matthew actually composes suggest that Matthew had something else in mind. David…

At the Doorstep of Nicaea, with Malcolm Yarnell: Colossians 2:9 11:35

20d ago11:35

11:35

The Colossian churches had shifted their attention from Christ to calendrical matters, mediatorial figures, mystical visions, and philosophical notions. Paul is calling them to focus on Christ, who is the center and circumference of reality. In 2:9, Paul's language makes Christ's full deity unavoidable and unmistakeable. Dr. Malcolm Yarnell III, wh…

Whose Koilia is This?, with Jennifer Houston McNeel: John 7:38 13:17

27d ago13:17

13:17

The NRSV translates John 7:38, "Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water." Behind that stand entangled questions of the punctuation of the Greek sentences (punctuation is lacking in the earliest manuscripts), the meaning of the word κοιλία (koilia), and whose koilia is in mind. Another translation could be, "Out of Jesus' womb …

Honor Everyone As the King, the King as Everyone, with Jason Maston: 1 Peter 2:17 11:06

1M ago11:06

11:06

Peter's Greek wording in 1 Pet. 2:17 suggests a subtle but potent leveling of people and Roman king in Peter's kingdom vision. Dr. Jason Maston is Professor of Theology at Houston Christian University, where he is also Associate Dean, School of Christian Thought, and Director, BA to MDiv Program. His publications include (author) Divine and Human A…

This Place, with James Hoffmeier: Jeremiah 7:7 14:13

1M ago14:13

14:13

Modern students of biblical Hebrew learn that the "pointing" (symbols for vowels) of the commonly used Masoretic text of the OT was added to the Hebrew consonants in the medieval period, and that the meaning of a passage can depend on the pointing used. Depending on the pointing chosen, Jeremiah 7:7 can be translated as, "I will let you dwell in th…

Incredible Things, with Tom Schmidt: Luke 5:26 9:10

2M ago9:10

9:10

In a healing story shared by the first three Gospels, Luke reports a uniquely worded response of onlookers, translated in the NIV as, "We have seen remarkable things today." The key Greek word is παράδοξα (paradoxa), which is in fact noncommittal on the morality of what is in view. Dr. Thomas Schmidt is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at F…

Finding Jesus Inside the Shema, with N. T. Wright: 1 Corinthians 8:6 13:16

2M ago13:16

13:16

As of Paul's first (existing) letter to them, the Corinthians are still struggling to understand and practice their faith in their native, non-Jewish environment. In a passage centering on the knowledge of God and idolatry (1 Corinthians 8-10), Paul begins by stating the central Christian confession of the true God, which is a modified version of t…

Praising the Lord in Hebrew, with Chandler Dean: Psalm 150 9:24

2M ago9:24

9:24

Hebrew poetry is rich in parallelism of sound (phonological), words (lexical), meaning (semantic), and grammar, through which meaning is conveyed. Psalm 150 illustrates these devices, and manages to strike its climactic note through the breaking of them. Chandler Dean is working on her M.A. in Biblical Exegesis at Wheaton Graduate School. Check out…

Oversight for the Sake of Peace, with Pat Miller: Hebrews 12:14-16 11:00

3M ago11:00

11:00

The Greek of Heb. 12:14-16, though rendered into separate sentences in some English translations, is a single Greek sentence. Paying close attention to the internal structure, especially a participle at the beginning of v. 15, sharpens our understanding of the integrated thought: The pursuit of true peace can involve conflict, albeit a conflict for…

The Sound of Meaning, with Rabbi Steven Bob: Genesis 1:1-5 8:30

3M ago8:30

8:30

The opening lines of Genesis illustrate the way Hebrew relies on the sounds of words to convey meaning, for example, the menacing Hebrew word for 'darkness.' Rabbi Steven Bob, who has contributed several episodes to this podcast series, is Rabbi Emeritus at Congregation Etz Chaim in Lombard, Il and guest faculty at Wheaton College. He is the author…

1
Faith as Loyalty, with Matthew Bates: Romans 3:2-3 10:21

3M ago10:21

10:21

At a crucial juncture in his argument and in the space of two verses Paul uses four terms related to the πιστ- word-group, usually rendered as "faith" or "belief." Background and the context of Romans favor hearing the ideas of "loyalty" and "faithfulness" in v. 3. Dr. Bates, who has been on this podcast before, is Professor of New Testament at Nor…

A Statue in Progression, with John Walton: Daniel 3 10:34

3M ago10:34

10:34

The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – their refusal to bow down to the king's image and their deliverance from the furnace – is among the most oft-told of the Bible. Archaeology has provided a compelling backstory for that event, illuminating some of drama that the narrator would have assumed. Dr. John Walton, Old Testament Professor Emerit…

Satan Paraded, with Shane J. Wood: Revelation 20:3 10:33

Habakkuk and God in Dialogue, with Andrew Abernethy: Habakkuk 1-2 8:47

4M ago8:47

8:47

Unlike other prophetic books that directly address an audience, the message of Habakkuk presents itself to listeners by pondering a dialogue between the prophet Habakkuk and God. By paying attention to repetition related to "seeing" in Habakkuk 1-2, we can pick up on God's invitation to allow God's perception of reality to enrich and challenge our …

1
Amos' Art, with Danny Carroll Rodas: Amos 9:17

4M ago9:17

9:17

Amos' Hebrew is rich with rhetorical techniques such as word play and satire, sometimes throwing hard punches. Some of these can be heard in translation, others are difficult to preserve in English. Dr. Danny Carroll Rodas, who has contributed several episodes to this podcast series, is the Scripture Press Ministries Professor of Biblical Studies a…

A Figura Etymologica in Jesus' Teaching, with Alexander Loney: Matthew 7:2 9:17

How Not to Run Amuck, with Richard Schultz: Proverbs 29:18 8:41

4M ago8:41

8:41

The English words, "where there is no vision, the people perish," would seem to commend the need of a good plan for a desired future, but the Hebrew sentence points in a different direction. Dr. Richard Schultz is the Blanchard Professor of Old Testament in Wheaton College Graduate School. In addition to other publications, he has authored Out of C…

This God, with Bradley Cameron: Ecclesiastes 3:10 11:16

5M ago11:16

11:16

Is Ecclesiastes 3:10-14 about a despotic, distant god or a benevolent, known God? It depends on whether we recognize the force of a Hebrew definite article. Bradley Cameron (PhD, Wheaton) is Visiting Instructor in Old Testament at Wheaton College. His dissertation was, "Learning to Fear: An Exploration of the Fear of God in Ecclesiastes through the…

The Express Image, with Philip Graham Ryken: Hebrews 1:3 8:29

5M ago8:29

8:29

Heb. 1:1-4 is a beautifully rounded Greek sentence in praise of God's Son in and as whom God has spoken. One metaphor conveys the uniqueness of this person as the "express image" of God himself. It is this metaphor that Dr. Ryken explains. Dr. Phil Ryken, who has been a regular on our podcast, is the President of Wheaton College, 8th in the college…

Food as an Identity Assertion, with Aubrey Buster and John Walton: Daniel 1:8-16 12:33

5M ago12:33

12:33

Daniel's refusal to eat the food provided by the king of Babylon is among the most popular of the Bible's stories. But what food did Daniel refuse, what did he request, and why? A new look at the Hebrew text and its background suggests new answers. Dr. Aubrey Buster, who has been with us before, is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton Co…

Not Every Woman at the Party is a Concubine, with Aubrey Buster: Daniel 5:2 8:40

6M ago8:40

8:40

Dan. 5:2, within the Aramaic portion of Daniel, has always been taken to refer to the king, his nobles, his wives, and his concubines, but a fresh look at the Aramaic and its context suggests that the last were female officials, not concubines. Dr. Aubrey Buster, who has been with us before, is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton Colleg…

1
Hunger for Justice, with George Kalantzis: Matthew 5:6, 10 9:07

6M ago9:07

9:07

The Greek word usually translated as 'righteousness' in the Beatitudes (and elsewhere), is closer to the concept of 'justice,' signaling the down-to-earth concern of a people living under an unjust regime. Dr. George Kalantzis grew up in Athens, Greece, and has been at Wheaton College since 2007, where he is Professor of Theology and the Director o…

In this 300th episode of Exegetically Speaking, we hear once again from Dr. Michael Bird.

The Lord is an Avenger and the Lord is Good, with Mario Tafferner: Nahum 1:7 11:04

7M ago11:04

11:04

The poem in Nahum 1 breaks its stride in 1:7, in terms of both the Hebrew poetic structure and thematic emphasis. In part by this means, it implicitly asks its Israelite readers, some of whom may have been collaborators with Assyria, whether they side with the Lord or the Lord's enemies. Dr. Mario Tafferner is Assistant Professor of Old Testament L…

A Hebrew Pun on Elevation, with Mark Lanier: 2 Chronicles 17:6 6:13

8M ago6:13

6:13

In 2 Chr. 17:3-6, remarkable things are said of King Jehoshaphat, culminating in a Hebrew word play that correlates the state of Jehoshaphat's heart with the Asherim that he tears down while seeking to elevate the Lord. Mark Lanier is a practicing attorney, a teacher in his local church in Houston, Texas, and the founder of the Lanier Theological L…

Moses Sings Amazing Grace, with Lawson Younger: Exodus 34:6-7 13:47

8M ago13:47

13:47

Both Moses and God are popularly thought of as the opposite of grace as portrayed in the Old Testament. Exodus 34 tells the story of a God who does measure out justice to his creation, but magnifies his grace far beyond measure. The difference is that of the life-horizons of an individual contrasted with countless generations. Dr. K. Lawson Younger…

Who Has God's Attention?, with Andrew Abernethy: Isaiah 66:2 8:35

8M ago8:35

8:35

Art and Truth in a Psalm, with Rico Villanueva: Psalm 1 9:19

8M ago9:19

9:19

Even in translation, Psalm 1, a favorite of many, can be appreciated for its art and truth.

Dr. Frederico Villanueva is Regional Commissioning Editor for Langham Publishing and Scholar Care Co…

Because He Was in the Form of God, with Michael Gorman: Philippians 2:6 13:13

9M ago13:13

13:13

Phil. 2:6-11 is and deserves to be one of the most studied passages on Christ in the biblical writings. One grammatical question concerns a participle in v. 6, which is usually understood as concessive ("although"). But might Paul intend a causal sense ("because")? The implications are profound. Dr. Michael Gorman is Raymond E. Brown Professor of B…

"Sweet Song of Salvation, with Andrew Abernethy: Isaiah 12:2 and Exodus 15:2" 8:35

Share in the Abundance of Christ's Suffering, with Travis Wright: 2 Corinthians 1:5 and Romans 8:18 9:15

9M ago9:15

9:15

English plurals of "mass nouns" (uncountable nouns, such as milk, water) indicate kinds (e.g., cow or goat milks) or multiple instances (e.g., "grab three waters"), but Greek has a third option for the same plurals: an "abundance inference." Realizing this can sharpen our understanding of certain passages. Travis Wright (PhD, University of Cambridg…

Living Collateral, with Seth Ehorn: Philemon 1 12:50

10M ago12:50

12:50

The opening words of Philemon prompt us to ask in what sense Paul is a prisoner in relation to Christ. In part this is a grammatical question, but a couple of contemporaneous papyri texts might supply hints as to the cultural understanding. Dr. Seth Ehorn is Assistant Professor of Classics and Biblical Languages at Houston Christian University. Amo…

Small But Important Words, with Jack Messarra: Jeremiah 32:36-37 9:36

10M ago9:36

9:36

In Jeremiah 32:36, a discourse marker is used that would most often signal bad news is coming, sort of like the "Jaws theme" music in a movie. But here it surprises the reader with good news. Jack Messarra completed a master's degree at the University of Stellenbosch in the field of Hebrew, linguistics, and discourse markers. You can see some of hi…

Is This The Promised Seed?, with Ingrid Faro: Genesis 4:25 7:47

11M ago7:47

The Word was God, with Michael Licona: John 1:1 11:15

11M ago11:15

11:15

Some claim that John 1:1 states that Jesus is 'a god.' Others claim that it states that Jesus is God. What is in fact the best way of understanding the Greek language employed? Grammatical parallels can shed some light. Dr. Michael Licona is Professor of New Testament at Houston Christian University. His publications include Why Are There Differenc…

Justified by Faith in Christ, with Roy E. Ciampa: Galatians 2:16 10:37

11M ago10:37

10:37

In his previous conversation centered on Rom. 1:16-17, Roy Ciampa contextualized the unique phrase ἐκ πίστεως (translated there as, "through faith") in Greek writings generally and Romans in particular. He now studies this phrase throughout Galatians, with special reference to Gal. 2:16. In addition to his posts at Samford University and Gordon Con…

Righteousness Revealed through Faith and for Faith, with Roy E. Ciampa: Romans 1:16-17 11:39

12M ago11:39

11:39

Nowhere in all known Greek writings is the precise phrase ἐκ πίστεως ("out of" or "from faith") found until the Greek version of Habakkuk 2:4, and some of the scribes transmitting that text altered it. It is this phrasing that Paul adopts in the crucial lines of Roman 1:16-17, and rewords elsewhere. What, then, was the intended sense of this unique…

He is Risen Indeed, with Gary Habermas: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 12:46

12M ago12:46

12:46

The Greek language Paul uses in 1 Corinthians 15 to convey the gospel's teaching of Jesus' resurrection lodges this in authoritative tradition dating back to months after the events. The center of God's self-revelation and salvation is more firmly attested than anything else in Scripture. Dr. Gary Habermas is Distinguished Research Professor in the…

Underdetermined Greek, Overdetermined English, with Jeremiah Coogan: Galatians 5:2-4 12:37

1y ago12:37

12:37

An important verb in Gal. 5:2 could be either passive voice or middle voice. It is translated, "if you accept circumcision" (ESV) or "if ye be circumcised" (KJV) or "if you have yourselves circumcised" (NAB). Verse 4 is sometimes translated, "You are severed from Christ" (ESV) or "You . . . have been alienated from Christ" (NIV). Consideration of t…
