For many are called, but few are chosen. [kjv]
πολλοι γαρ εισιν κλητοι ολιγοι δε εκλεκτοι [gnt]
While in church, you may hear God calling in many ways. However, God will not call you on your
cell phone. So you can turn that off while in church.
Jesus then generalizes to
any "
man" and not just Peter.
16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. [kjv]
τοτε ο ιησους ειπεν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ει τις θελει οπισω μου ελθειν απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθειτω μοι [gnt]
What does it mean to
"deny" yourself? [find your life]
☐ Concrete physical action that is easier to measure (to be great).
☐ Abstract thought/verbal idea that is harder to measure.
The Greek word for "
man" is not used. Rather, a
pronoun is used.
If the "
man" is a
"bird" , as in a
false leader, then the
"bird" must
"deny" or
"bird" himself, which is to
"deny" the
"denial" which results in a
positive action rather than a negative action. One can then "
follow" Jesus.
10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]
Use the noun for
"bird" as a verb. What's your "
ask"? [tennising]
Greek: αρνησηται (say "ar-NEE-see-ta"), verb "deny".
Greek: ορνησηται (say "or-NEE-see-ta"), verb "bird".
Paraphrase (with play on words):
Whoever [bones, hostile] denies [birds] me before men, I will deny [bird] him before my Father in heaven.
This play on word usage is
not the same as the modern "
flip" the
"bird" action, though the word "
flip" is similar in spirit to the Greek word for "
worthy" as in "
counter-balance" and the word translated as "
variance" (in two verses).
Not
"one" but
all the
"birds" will "
fall" as they are (all) "
without" the Father.
10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. [kjv]
You are (should be)
"different" than the
"birds".
10:31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. [kjv]
Can we associate the action of
"deny" with the action of a
"bird"?
10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
οστις δε δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]

Well, we got no class
And we got no principals (ooh)
