Is this a Joke?
« on: August 06, 2017, 01:17:50 AM »
Assalamualaikum,

I noticed something kinda weird in the NRSV...

Matthew 2:11New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

11 On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The greek word "prosekynēsan" is translated as "paid him homage".Well it's ok until the same word is translated as "Worship"...

Matthew 14:32-33New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped(prosekynēsan) him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Seriously is this some kind of joke?
