Revision as of 16:38, October 30, 2009
, 16:38, October 30, 2009→Chapter 3 Verse 12
==Luke 3:1==
==Luke 3:1==
In this particular instances, as weird as the word is to us today, each of the men identified including Herod Antipas is τετρααρχοῦντος - tetrarch. A tetrarch was one who ruled over 1/4 of the empire and was subordinate only to the emperor. King gets used frequently incorrectly used to refer to Herod Antipas in translating this term, but he was not a king and Judea was not a kingdom. I am using the word governor instead of king, which isn't controversial when used for Pilate, who had exactly the same role as Herod Antipas - he was tetrarch of Judea. But perhaps there is a better word than both governor or king. [[User:Cambrian|Cambrian]] 22:25, 28 October 2009 (EDT)

==Chapter 3 Verse 12==
Master is the original, Teacher is the modern version. Jesus asked his disciples "Who do they say I am?" I am thinking the replacement should be "Rabbi" (a respected authority) or "Great Prophet" (some say Elijah, some say John the Baptist). --[[User:Jpatt|Jpatt]] 12:38, 30 October 2009 (EDT)
