only one question

Feb-20-2002 at 08:56 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)


Hi, Paul! Im a teacher (45) and the Bible is for me the real well. After I saw your marvelous site and spent there a lot of time, Id like to ask you a question, which had interested me some time ago.
I read the John 21, 15-19 in Greek and realized two different verbs for love (agapao and filo), which are giving to this dialog a very special and personal dimension. When I made a comparison with the Hebrew translation, I didnt found two different verbs but only one ahab. Now, I found in Peshitta only one verb too. If the Aramaic (or Hebrew) version was the first one, would it be possible to put in the Greek translation such a language nuace? I hope I am clear... Maybe the problem is more complex... My question is very simple, but I hope, you have any on the higher level - too...
Thanks!
Laco
I did not received any response so Iam knocking again...
Im not trying to open a new topic on common forum, but am only asking for some light...

Shlama Laco,

Welcome. I'm sorry I missed your message - sometimes in the heat of a debate I fail to see a message.

I understood your question 100% - but I'd like to answer it by asking you a few related questions one by one. I hope that will be ok?

Let's imagine for sake of this discussion that Christ and Peter were conversing in Greek here.

OK, here's my question - how many times did Christ ask Peter if he loved Him ?

Shlama Paul!
Thanks for your replay and the opening of a new topic - Greek Love - which gives me some light as I desired. I admire your site and follow it as it is possible!

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
