3. John 11:35-36
John 11:35 Jesus wept. [kjv]
εδακρυσεν ο ιησους [gnt]
et lacrimatus est Iesus [v]
11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him ! [kjv]
ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι ιδε πως εφιλει αυτον [gnt]
Some pedantic academics will claim it is better to say "
tears came to Jesus' eyes". The following verse, however, seems to support the semantic idea of "
wept".
This verse, however, has
3 words in the Greek. There are two verses in the
GNT (Greek New Testament) that have only
2 Greek words. The verses are adjacent.
4. John 11:35
KJV: Jesus wept.
Greek: εδακρυσεν ο ιησους
5. John 11:36
KJV: Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him !
Greek: ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι ιδε πως εφιλει αυτον
6. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. [kjv]
παντοτε χαιρετε [gnt]
semper gaudete [v]
5:17 Pray without ceasing. [kjv]
αδιαλειπτως προσευχεσθε [gnt]
sine intermissione orate [v]
The two shortest verses in the
GNT are adjacent in 1 Thessalonians. The Greek for "
rejoice" is that of "
greeting".
7. 1 Thessalonians 5:16
8. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
KJV: Pray without ceasing.
Greek: αδιαλειπτως προσευχεσθε
