A major surprise is hidden in Mark 6:50 related to Jesus' deity. This story depicts Jesus walking on water during a storm and surprisingly, Jesus' followers mistook him for a ghost. But that's not the biggest surprise. A study of the Greek manuscript reveals that something important was lost when the New Testament was translated into English. But what was it? Watch to find out!

The AMP and AMP classic versions of Mark 6:50 say, "for they all saw Him and were shaken and terrified. But He immediately spoke with them and said, “Take courage! It is I (I Am)! Stop being afraid.” (AMP) "For they all saw Him and were agitated (troubled and filled with fear and dread). But immediately He talked with them and said, Take heart! I Am! Stop being alarmed and afraid." (AMPC)

Interesting! I have seen one or two translations include "I Am" in that verse. I've always been curious why more didn't translate it that way

@peterocha7341 6 месяцев назад

If you translate everything back into Hebrew you get a better understanding. Impossible you say. Well hear me out. I am does not exist in Hebrew, it's yad mim. ? Yad = Yah = God. Mim is a water container and = water. Ghost = Spirit. What does this mean ? God is a Spirit, His Son Has His Spirit. Yahshuah. Yahshuah was there in the beginning. He's telling the disciples, (putting this in English terms) I am the Spirit of God hovering over the waters in Genesis 1:2. The Spirit of God=Yahshuah. Yahshuah=The Son of God. The Son of God=YHWH which was put on Yahshuah's headstone upon crucifixion. The centurion at the cross said, 'truly this was the Son of God ' Matt,27:54. 🙏 Peace to the children of God. 🙏

@healthreviewsplus 7 месяцев назад

Very interesting as usual! The preacher Sunday mentioned that it seems the supernatural was something ordinary that people back then experienced, like when Peter got out of prison and the people in the house said it's just his angel at the door.

@breweryministries 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yeah, that is a great point! I sometimes wondered why characters in the Bible sometimes don't seem surprised by the supernatural, and I bet that is partly why!

@healthreviewsplus 7 месяцев назад

Does your cultural reference book address this? Just wondering. (Always curious!). Seems like plenty of people in the here and now experience supernatural but it's cultural to not tell others b/c they think you're nuts... And there's more references in the Bible to ghosts etc. Anyways, thanks for your videos!@@breweryministries

@breweryministries 7 месяцев назад

@@healthreviewsplus Yeah I think you're right! At least here in America, belief in the supernatural is often met with skepticism. I have read the younger generation is a bit more likely to embrace supernatural beliefs. I haven't come across anything on the frequency of miracles yet but I'll keep an eye out for that now. If I remember correctly one of the authors, Craig Keener, wrote a book on miracles but I haven't read it yet.

Couple of things. History of the Bible. Not all scrolls could be read. Due to missing fragments. Also, it is I. Is a few times precede by, do not be afraid. Especially when angels appeared. With new discoveries made everyday. We may finally have full and complete texts of scripture.

@tejloro 5 месяцев назад

the text in exodus (via the LXX) is ego eimi ho on. the imporant part is the Ho on... the one who is... not the ego eimi... I am... Yes ego eimi means "i am" but that's not the important part of what God declares as His name in the greek text of Exodus.

@CRoadwarrior 2 месяца назад

@breweryministries. Actually, that was not necessarily a "mistranslation." The Greek words "ego eimi" simply means "I am." Jesus is not always saying He is God when using "ego eimi." The blind man in John 9:9 in the Greek text. But the blind man was not claiming to be God. He was only admitting that he was the one who was born blind by saying "I am" the one.

@breweryministries 2 месяца назад

I would agree with that. There are only a handful of "I Am" statements that I think are clearly a divine claim, some of them just seem like Jesus responding "yes" or something similar. For me personally, the context in Mark 6 makes me feel comfortable that this one was but yes, mistranslation might not be quite the right term.

@CRoadwarrior 2 месяца назад

@@breweryministries John 8:58 is the clearest claim of Deity Jesus ever made. It was so clear that they attempted to stone Him for it in verse 59. Basically, He was claiming eternal existence before Abraham "came to be" (the Greek word used of Abraham speaks of created existence). By the way, I've studied and taught Hebrew and Greek, so I'm quite familiar with the original languages. I also teach both languages on my channel in the playlist series called "The Dangers of Superficial Bible Study."

@breweryministries 2 месяца назад

I agree, the fact that they wanted to stone him reinforces that he was claiming divinity. That title for your Bible study sounds intriguing!

@CRoadwarrior 2 месяца назад

@@breweryministries Yes, He claimed to be God in many ways. Check out the series. It is eye-opening.

@chriscampbell9191 4 месяца назад

My George Ricker Berry, KJV interlinear lists the Greek words translated (word for word) as "I am [he]", so yeah, I suppose the claim to deity in that phrase is possible. I am no translator, but when I read the passage, it seems to me that Jesus would have said the equivalent of the English "It is I" because from the context of the story Jesus wanted to reassure the disciples that if was Him, Jesus, and not a spirit or ghost. As we all know, the disciples understood his divinity later on -- some sooner than others (Thomas being one of the latter).

@breweryministries 4 месяца назад

Very interesting! I've found quite a few other commentaries that mention it since making this video but not all do. I agree, either way, if this passage didn't truly mean "I Am," they at least believed he was divine later on

@peterocha7341 6 месяцев назад

On another note, God is the Master Spirit, every spirit, bad or good belongs to Him, for He is the Father of all living. It is written When Jesus/Yahshuah gave up His ghost/ spirit, He said it is finished. Where did He end up? Back to the Father. This is not to say all will wind up there. You have to believe that Yahshuah was the ultimate sacrifice for you, therefore becoming a believer and a child of God. 🙏

@simplearthling 5 месяцев назад

So what's the answer? Where's the second part to this?

@breweryministries 5 месяцев назад

Hello! There's a summary near the end of the video, basically "I AM" is a valid translation, but so is "It is I". But, the context of Jesus walking on the waves shows him acting out scripture about God walking on the waves, so it does seem Jesus was trying to say he is God in this passage. Word Biblical Commentary thinks translators chose to put "It Is I" in English to reflect how the disciples interpreted Jesus' words. At that point, they were still in denial, thinking "He can't really mean he is God, can he?". But at the end, we get clarification when Peter says "surely this man is the Son of God.". That can be confusing too, because it sounds as if Jesus' is saying he's only God's son, not God Himself. But, at that time, the phrase Son of God meant "human incarnation of a God." So in their culture, it is confirmation that Jesus was identifying himself as God and the disciples finally accepted it. Hope this helps!

@sidwhiting665 2 месяца назад

Good analysis. I've heard this mentioned before, but not with the call out regarding the switched word order in the Greek meaning the same thing (I AM or It is I). Thanks for pointing that out! One of my favorite passages (and there are many!) that show Jesus is God is Matthew 9:1-6 where he forgives the sins of the paralytic, and for this the religious leaders call him out for blasphemy. "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" To which Jesus says... "watch that I have the power to forgive sins" and tells the man to get up and walks. A classic debate tactic is getting your opponents to make your arguments for you, which Jesus did! Out of the religious leaders own mouths, they said only God can forgive sins... and Jesus as God PROVED he could do just that by performing a miraculous healing. Only God can do that of his own power. Had he been just a man guilty of blasphemy, he could not have forgiven sins nor healed a paralyzed man!

@breweryministries 2 месяца назад

That is one of my favorite passages as well! It's the first time I noticed that Jesus said he was God in ways that sometimes fly under our radar.

@sidwhiting665 2 месяца назад

@@breweryministries indeed! I know sometimes people get anxious that Jesus never just clearly came out and said, "I'm God, worship me!" We hear about the "hiddenness" of God in the Scriptures and how Jesus often used parables to explain spiritual things. That ticks off some folks. But the truth is if anyone wants to know who Jesus is, we merely need to see what he did and how it fulfills prophesy. Also, that he was the substitute sacrifice for our sins: who but God alone can fulfill God's demands? Certainly no human could, which is why it HAD to be Jesus on the Cross and not just super-disciple or that Jesus was merely a prophet, as the Islamic religion teaches. We give Praise to the Holy Spirit for opening our eyes to the Truth! Keep on making great content... and hopefully, great beer too!

@breweryministries 2 месяца назад

Thank you! Yeah, I'm sure in their culture it was more clear than in ours. I've seen some modern scholars say he never claimed to be God but I see it everywhere (and so do other scholars). It's just not the way we would phrase it. It's fun to uncover more and more of those!

@gergenskits3940 5 месяцев назад

why no mention that right after Jesus gets to the boat, the boat is TELEPORTED to its destination?

@chriscampbell9191 4 месяца назад

I think that was in the version in the Book of John. This vid centers on the language used in Mark 6, although the Greek in John 6 seems to be exactly the same. You're right, though. That teleportation bit is a bit unusual. How many times I'd read that account and glossed over it.

@sidwhiting665 2 месяца назад

It looks like the focus of this video is on Jesus claiming to be God. Throughout scripture, there are many instances where mere men are given power by God to do miraculous things: think of Moses parting the Red Sean, Samson knocking down the pillars of the Philistine temple, and so forth. Teleporting a boat could just be another power given by God to a man, so that fact doesn't help make the case that Jesus is God himself unless you can also prove he is doing that thing on his own power. Far better to use the claim that "I AM" first establishes that he is God, and then we know that obviously he is using his own power to move the boat. That and the fact that God never tells him that he will give him the power to do it, I suppose could be argued for why he is God. All the other miracles of the OT occur only after God gives instruction and says, "I will do this." So yeah... I guess that could be used. Sorry, I sometimes type while I think and see this could be a valid point.
