26. Scornful laughing
When the daughter of the ruler of the synagogue became dead, Jesus brings here to life. She is referred to as "
Talitha" meaning "
Damsel". The people there
laugh at what he claims to have done. The story is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. That is, the Synoptic Gospels.
Matthew 9:24 … for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. [kjv]
ελεγεν αναχωρειτε ου γαρ απεθανεν το κορασιον αλλα καθευδει και κατεγελων αυτου [gnt]

και κατεγελων αυτου αυτος δε εκβαλων παραλαμβανει τον πατερα του παιδιου και την μητερα και τους μετ αυτου και εισπορευεται οπου ην το παιδιον [gnt]
Luke 8:53 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. [kjv]
και κατεγελων αυτου ειδοτες οτι απεθανεν [gnt]
27. Job 39:7 Laugh to scorn
Job 39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. [kjv]
καταγελων πολυοχλιας πολεως μεμψιν δε φορολογου ουκ ακουων [lxx]
He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer. [bs3]
The
ancient Greek word
"καταγελάω" ≈ "laugh to scorn".
28. Job 39:7
KJV: He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
Hebrew: ישחק להמון קריה תשאות נוגש לא ישמע׃
Greek: καταγελων πολυοχλιας πολεως μεμψιν δε φορολογου ουκ ακουων
Brenton: He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer.
29. Matthew 26:53
Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I can not now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? [kjv]
η δοκεις οτι ου δυναμαι παρακαλεσαι τον πατερα μου και παραστησει μοι αρτι πλειω δωδεκα λεγιωνας αγγελων [gnt]
"ἄγγελων" ≈ "messengers, ones that announce" (genitive) (Persian word).
"ἀνα" ≈ "up, upwards" or "ἀν" ≈ "up, upwards" (prefix of many words).
"γελῶν" ≈ "laughing" (masculine/neuter singular active infinitive participle, contracted).
Today the Greek "
gg" sound is pronounced as "
ng" as in English
hunger,
angel, etc. In
ancient Greek it could be a double hard "
g" sound, one hard "
g" sound, or the "
ng" sound.
Is there
"laughter" in "
heaven"?
30. Psalms 2:4 Laughter in heaven
Psalms 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [kjv]
ο κατοικων εν ουρανοις εκγελασεται αυτους και ο κυριος εκμυκτηριει αυτους [lxx]
Do those in heaven (angels, etc.) laugh at human attempts to take over the world?
Who else might be talking? How would we view robots attempting to take over?
The Greek word translated as "
sitteth" is that of "
inhabit/dwell".
31. Matthew 16:27
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. [kjv]
μελλει γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου [gnt]
The
ancient Greek word
"μετά" ≈ "after".
Greek:
... after (of) the angles (of) him/it and then ...
32. Matthew 16:27
KJV: For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Greek: μελλει γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ερχεσθαι εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων αυτου και τοτε αποδωσει εκαστω κατα την πραξιν αυτου
33. Disciples on thrones judging tribes build
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
Here is one way to interpret what Jesus has said. To simplify the graphics, there are
4 "tribes" as "
t" and
4 disciples as "
d".
The mapping is one to one. The
disciples "separate" the
"tribes". Then, to even things out, everyone is provided with a
"throne".
This model scales to any number of
disciples and any number of
"tribes".
34. Matthew 19:28 Play on words
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου καθησεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ [gnt]
"δώδεκα" ≈ "twelve" and "θρόνους" ≈ "throne" (accusative) and "θρόνος" ≈ "throne".
"τόδε" ≈ "hither, therefore" and "τότε" ≈ "at that time" and "τοτέ" ≈ "at times, now and then".
"κᾰθᾰρῷ" ≈ "clean, clear, pure" (dative) from "καθαρός" ≈ "clean, clear, pure".
"νοῦς" ≈ "mind"
35. Matthew 19:28 Play on words
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου καθησεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ [gnt]
Greek:
... on twelve thrones ...
Play:
... on therefore clean mind ...
36. Matthew 19:28 Play on words
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου καθησεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ [gnt]
"δώδεκα" ≈ "twelve" and "φυλὰς" ≈ "tribes, clans" (feminine accusative plural) from "φυλή" ≈ "tribe, clan"
"τόδε" ≈ "hither, therefore" and "τότε" ≈ "at that time" and "τοτέ" ≈ "at times, now and then".
"κᾰπῠρᾱ́ς" ≈ "dried (by the air), drying, brittle" (feminine accusative plural) from "καπυρός" ≈ "dried (by the air), drying, brittle".
37. Matthew 19:28
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου καθησεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ [gnt]
Greek:
...separating the twelve tribes of Israel.
Play:
... separating the therefore air-dried/brittle of Israel...
38. Matthew 19:28 Double play
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
Greek:
... on twelve thrones separating the twelve tribes of Israel.
Play:
... on therefore clean mind separating the therefore air-dried/brittle of Israel...
Would the disciples then, with "
clean" "
minds", be "
separated" from the "
air-dried/brittle" (minds) of Israel? Would this be "
all" or "
some" of Israel?
Might what is being done "
against the law" (of God)?
39. Matthew 19:28 Tribes on guard
Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ο δε ιησους ειπεν αυτοις αμην λεγω υμιν οτι υμεις οι ακολουθησαντες μοι εν τη παλιγγενεσια οταν καθιση ο υιος του ανθρωπου επι θρονου δοξης αυτου καθησεσθε και υμεις επι δωδεκα θρονους κρινοντες τας δωδεκα φυλας του ισραηλ [gnt]
The
exact word used by Jesus for
"tribes" can be a play on words with
"φύλαξ" ≈ "guard, sentry" as in a
"φυλακή" ≈ "watch, prison".
Jesus often uses the word for
"prison" or
"watch" to refer to the "
altar" or "
sanctuary" of the religious establishment.
40. Luke 22:30 Tribes eating and drinking
Luke 22:30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. [kjv]
ινα εσθητε και πινητε επι της τραπεζης μου εν τη βασιλεια μου και καθησθε επι θρονων τας δωδεκα φυλας κρινοντες του ισραηλ [gnt]
Matthew does not mention "
eating" or "
drinking" nor "
my" "
kingdom".
The
"twelve" in
"twelve" "thrones" is missing.
The play on words of
"thrones" is not present.
The intricately interwoven context of Matthew is not present in Luke.

The
ancient Greek words
"τέ" ≈ "also, both" and

Possible play:
All then twelve of the poor (in spirit) (you) have with yourself but me not all twelve also.
What might happen to one of the twelve?

KJV: For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
