All right, so let's get started here in Matthew chapter 1. I'm going to crank through this kind of quickly
vivlos, yaneseos, isufristu, yudaviv, yuabron
First thing I want to point out here is that the Greek uses the definite article much differently than English
So a lot of places where English would use the word the
Greek does not and vice versa Greek will put a the
Where we wouldn't so there's no the here in English
This is the book of the generation of Jesus Christ
But Greek just isn't like that. You can't read into that or or try to make something out of that
It's just the difference between the two languages. So vivlos, yaneseos, vivlos means book
This is where we actually get the word Bible vivlos interesting that it's the first word of the New Testament
vivlos, yaneseos, yaneseos of the generation
This is where we get our word in English Genesis
Genesis
But it's in this form yaneseos because it's not just the generations of the generation
So the book of the generation isufristu of Jesus Christ
Yuvaviv son of David, yuabron son of Abraham
Avram yenisetonisak, isak de yeniseton yakov, yakov de yeniseton yudon
Ketu sago fus abtu
so abram yenise, so you can probably right away see the similarity between
yaneseos and yenise, the reason why this is the book of the generation
Of Jesus Christ is because we're going to go through all these generations
So this word right here yenise, this is the aorist past tense of ghenau
Which means I beget or I bring forth or I bear I engender
So abraham begat
the isaac, so this is what I was saying about how greek just uses the word the
In a totally different way than we do in english. So, you know, literally this would be abraham begat the isaac
But obviously it just means abram yenisetonisak
abraham begat
isaac, isak de, de means but or and
But it always comes second. So we would translate this into english then and isaac
yenise ton yakob begat
Jacob, right and isaac begat Jacob isaac de yenise ton yakob
yakob de yenise ton yudon
Jacob and Jacob begat
Judas or judah
ton yudon ketus adofus abtu
And his brethren probably recognize the word adofus think about philadelphia
The city of brotherly love abufus means his brothers and his brothers
yudas de yeniseton
fares
and judah
begat
feres ketunzahra
and
zarah
ektis
thamar
So he begat zarah
of tamar
ek is like out of or from
Tamar so ketunzahra ektis
Faris that again is a tone as rome as rome that again is a ton of aram aram that again is a ton
I mean a dub. I mean a dub that again is a tone
Na son na son that again is a tone solmon. So again, each of these sentences is just repeating exact same grammar and
now son
begat
Salmon, right now son de yeniseton salmon salmonde yeniseton boaz
Ektis rahab so he begat boaz
of
Rahab right ektis rahab
of rahab
boaz
again, he said tone oviv
Ektis ruth so when we have this ektis rahab ektis ruth, it's giving us the mother's name
So he begat obed of ruth
So he begat david the king
So
One easy way to remember this greek word is that basil the reason that the herb basil that you put on pizza
Another italian food. The reason that it's called basil is because it's considered the king of herbs and i'm not just making that up
That's actually where that word comes from. And so basil is the king of herbs. So
vassileia means king
Ton vassileia david the king davide o vassileps and vassileps is the same word as vassileia
It's just this is accusative case. This is nominative case. But again, you can see basil right there
vassileia
davide de o vassileps
a yenise ton
solomonda
Ektis tu
Uryu it's kind of cut off there. So let me scroll that so it's saying that he begat solomon
And remember we saw earlier
Ektis ruth, you know of ruth. Well here it says ektis tu uryu
so tu uryu means of uraya in the sense of
Belonging to uraya urayas. So what it's saying is that he begat solomon
Of her ektis means of her
of uraya
So literally what this says is that david begat solomon of her of uraya
Now when this is translated into english in the king james bible, it says of her
that had been the wife of uraya and a lot of times in your bible those words will be in italics because
The had been the wife of is being added here for clarity because if you just translated this literally word for word into english
That david begat solomon of her of uraya
That's not really very easy to understand. It's kind of confusing
It's a lot easier when you understand that what's meant here is
Of her that had been the wife of uraya because when we read that story we understand
That vashaba was uraya's wife before david begat solomon with her
Has that
You scroll down
So here we have again
And his brethren
Okay
So this is a pretty interesting word here
You're going to see it repeated three times
in the next few verses
There's a really common word in greek metikos and a metikos
Is like a resident alien. It's it's someone who's living somewhere
But they're not really a citizen of that place. They're they're sojourning there. They dwell there
That is a metikos like a resident alien so here this is talking about
Where they were in the babylonian captivity where they were carried away into babylon where they were brought to
Babylon, so this is like the babylonian sojourn or the the babylonian
Uh, you know residency or whatever. So basically it's saying here
that he begat jeconias and his brother and
Epites upon the
metikasias
babylonos upon the
Babylonian, you know, this is referring to the captivity. So it comes from the word ecos which means house
So it's like it's like where they're living. So
Upon the time that they are
living in babylon, even though they're not
Native to babylon and even though it's just temporary that they were in babylon. So metikasias babylonos
Metave tin metikasia
after and after the babylonian
sojourn or captivity is uh
What was going on?
uh
babylonos
The reason i'm just going through this quickly is because obviously these
Sentences or these phrases are all exactly the same. So hopefully you understand that it means
And so and so begat so and so it's just that pattern and the only thing that's changing are the names here
When it says azorn
My fan
So and jacob begat joseph
Okay, the husband of mary
You've probably heard the word android right? It's it's a a robot that seems like a person so
Andra here andra means husband or man
The the the root word is on the year. That's the nominative case
ton andra maria
So this guy jacob begat joseph the husband of mary of whom was born jesus who is called christ
so obviously we know that jesus was not begotten of
joseph, right
jesus was conceived of the holy ghost and so it doesn't say
You know joseph begat jesus instead it says that jacob begat joseph the husband of mary ton andra marias
Uh from whom was born jesus who's called christ. Let me scroll down
So notice instead of here it being
a yenise like it's been over and over again so many times this time it's a yenife
Which this doesn't mean
He begat this means he was begotten so
joseph was the husband of mary
All of whom was begotten or born or brought forth of whom was born
jesus
Who is called christ olegomenos christos the called christ?
Next
So it's saying here all
then
then or so
so then all
The generations
Again, you can see the similarity with the word yenesis
all the generations
From abraham
eos the viv until
david
Generations 14
14
and from david
There's that word again
until the
Until the alien residency right until the carrying away
Into babylon the babylonian captivity the time that they sojourned in babylon
Yes, 14 generations
And from the carrying away into babylon
eos to christo
until christ
So again carrying away into babylon they were brought to babylon, but but literally
It's it's saying the the sojourn or a residence a but you know what that wouldn't sound good, would it?
So that's why the king james translates this in a very beautiful fluid way accurately giving us the meaning
So that we get exactly
What it's saying it's very clear. It's easy to understand
But it's not always going to translate literally word for word just like when it didn't say of her of uraya it added in
Of her that had been the wife of uraya for clarity
And so it's explaining what this meticasia
Is they were brought to babylon the carrying away into babylon?
We usually in our preaching refer to this as the babylonian captivity is usually what we call it
And then it says and or but
The of jesus christ
generation or birth or
Coming into being right? Obviously, uh, we're talking about his physical incarnation there
But the genesis of jesus christ or the birth of jesus christ
Utos in so was it was like so this is how it was
Mr. Thesis
So this first word here
Whenever you see this m n next to each other
It always has something to do with memory
It seems like all the words or not all of them
But most of the words especially in the new testament that have these two letters together
Usually it's some derivative of some kind of word that has to do with memory
So this comes from the verb nistevo, which actually means I betrothed or I espouse
And it comes from now which is like I remember or call to remembrance
So it kind of makes sense that the word for betrothal comes from the word for memory
Because it's it's kind of like hey, you better remember what we agreed upon, you know, you got to remember our deal
That we plan so mr. Thesis god takes me throws off to maria's looks like a genitive absolute here
And basically this is saying that his mother for his mother mary
being espoused
To joseph toyo sif. So his mother being betrothed to joseph or being espoused to joseph
So she's betrothed to joseph
preen e sinalfis afters
Preen before e sinalfin the coming together of them
before they came together
So
So this word ever efi this is where we get our english word eureka
Okay, you can see that e u r e right there
so
Eureka comes from evrica, which means I have found it in modern greek. It's just vrika
They've cut off the e at the beginning uses vrika and in english we pronounce it eureka
But ever efi means she was found
and
So she was found
means having
and
In the belly or in the womb now
It doesn't actually explicitly say what was found in her belly or what was found in her womb because this is just an expression
And gastri ejusa means to be pregnant. So the king james says she was found with child
Of the holy ghost she was found with child of the holy ghost but literally here it's
Having in womb and this is where we get our word like gastric
gastric bypass or
Gastrointestinal or gastronomy, right? So she was found
She's found with child of the holy ghost
Is
But joseph
Her husband
is
being
Just or being righteous
Can me
fell on and not wanting
of teen
Paradigmatissa
He did not want to
Make her an example. Okay
Now you've probably heard the word paradigm like a paradigm shift
Or when you're learning a foreign language, especially if you're learning like greek or latin, you'll have to memorize
Paradigms where it'll show you all the different ways a verb can be conjugated and that's called a paradigm
Well, the reason it's called a paradigm is because it's an example. They've picked an example verb and you're looking at that example
so
Paradigmatissa
Is he doesn't want to make her a paradigm, you know, he doesn't want to make her an example
So he doesn't want to do this publicly. He doesn't want to just expose this to the whole world
that uh
The woman that he's a spouse to turn out to be pregnant out of wedlock, you know
He he obviously doesn't know about the virgin birth yet. So he's just assuming that she has played the whore
But he doesn't at the same time. He doesn't want to just make her a public example
He's a just man. He's a good guy
He doesn't want to be a big, uh jerk about it
and so
Mi felon aftin and not wanting her to make an example or to make a public example of
evulithi
he wanted to or he
Was minded to or he was he wanted
Vuli is where we get our word volition what you want to do, but really can also mean counsel
or advice
Or um, you know, so so here I think the king jane says he was minded to put her away privately
So that's what he that that's the counsel that he takes with himself
That's what he wants to do or desires to do. He desired latra latra means basically privately
secretly
evulithi latra
Apolisa aftin put her away apolisa means to put away to divorce
So he wanted to divorce her quietly basically
privily
Talk to them off to and thema tendos and thema tendos means he's basically thinking about it in his heart
and means in
thema tendos
Thimos, it's talking about basically what's inside his spirit soul heart mind. So
top of that
but
These things up to
Entimitendos, but while he pondered these things or fought on these things or mold these things over
evu behold
Angelos kiryu angel of the lord the angel of the lord
kat onar efani
Onar means dream and efani
is where we get um
What kind of english words come from this because efani means basically
Uh appeared unto him or manifest epiphany is the word I was thinking of we have the english word epiphany. Okay
um
There's got to be another example too
Of words that come from this greek word
That means to appear or to be made manifest
So basically the angel of the lord appears to him
In a dream kat onar
off to to him
legon saying
joseph joseph
Son of david me phobethes
Para la vin so he says don't fear
Phobethes obviously you can see that phovy
Phobia right here. So this is where we get our
english words for phobia
like hydrophobia
Acrophobia agoraphobia, so don't
fear
par la vin to take
Do not fear to take
La vin lumbano means I take let me scroll down
Para la vin mariam tin yinikasu
togar enarti yinithen ek pnevmatosestin
Adiu
So to take unto you
marry
Tin yinikasu your wife yinekka is wife. This is where we get the english word gynecology
yinekka
uh
Fear not to take unto thee marry thy wife
togar enarti yinithen
for
the in her
conceived or begotten
ek pnevmatosestin
is of the spirit
pnevmatos
Adiu
Adiu means holy it's of the holy spirit that which is conceived in her is of the holy
Spirit now this word right here spirit or ghost
Is pnevma and this is where we get our english word pneumatic, right?
Pneumatic has to do with air we got hydraulic
Which has to do with water and then pneumatic which has to do with air
And this is because it's the breath or spirit just like we get our word
respiration
expire respire inspire
and uh pneuma here pnevma
Is the way you pronounce it in modern greek?
pnevmatosestin
Adiu, but this is where we get our english words that start with that
Pneumonia is another great example pneumonia because it has to do with breathing
So pnevmatosestin adiu
So that was conceiving errors of the holy ghost
Texatede yon kekalesis to onomatu isun
Texatede this is the uh future
She will bring forth or bear
Yon a son
Kekalesis another future tense you shall call
to onomatu
Isus you shall call his name to onomatu his name
Isun
Jesus right. So i e s o u n
Because of the fact that uh, he's in the accusative case there. This would be isus
In the nominative case isus isun. So in english, basically the i just becomes a j
This becomes an e s
u
s right
And then um, of course if you go back to 1611 the king james bible
It jesus is actually spelled i e s u s but it's it's always pronounced as a j sound
but the i used to be
Doing double duty for the i sound and the j sound
So this uh word right here texate
She shall beget or bring forth a son
Or give birth to a son. This is also where the really common word for child in greek comes from techno
So or the children come from this
Verb here, which means to bring forth to give birth. So she's going to give birth to a son
And you shall call his name jesus
of tosa god
sosi
gar means for
of toes he
sosi
will save shall save
Ton laon off to
He'll save his people off to means his laon means people
From the sins
Of tone of them so he will save his people from their sins
Tutto means this or uh this thing that we're talking about right here
And but
All this olon tutto because olon means all it kind of sounds like all right olon
tutto all this
Yeganen happened. It's a perfect verb tense
ina
pleurosy
To rithen i poto pireo via tu profitu legondos i vu i parthenos
parthenos
And gastri exi
What a cliffhanger right obviously we know it's going to be me soon. All right, so
Let's break this down here
all this happened
Ina pleurosy in order that
would be fulfilled
pleurosy
Has to do with being filled to uh, ple pleuroma is like the the fullness
Okay
I'm trying to think if there are any english words. I guess even just the pl of pleurosy is
Sort of similar to our english word full
But I guess that's kind of a stretch
So in order that would be fulfilled
to rithen
Rithen is is the saying
Or that which was spoken
i poto kireu
By the lord
And so with rithen you could think of our word
Rhetoric this is where we get our word rhetoric because rhetoric has to do with the spoken word with that which is spoken
So ina pleurosy to rithen i poto kireu via tu profitu
by the prophet
legondos saying i vu behold
i parthenos
And gastri exi. So here's the thing notice here. It says
That it will be fulfilled which was spoken of the lord
By the prophet through the prophet saying behold
the virgin
virgin
parthenos
Now a lot of people will try to say that in isaiah 7 14. It doesn't really say virgin
It really should just say a young woman there. That's what a lot of the liberal bible translations will do
That's what a lot of liberal theologians will do because they're being judaized, you know, because obviously the jews don't want to admit
That there are all these prophecies in the old testament pointing us to the lord jesus christ
And so they'll try to say oh, you know, if you go back to the hebrew
That word actually just means a young woman but here it's being quoted in the new testament
And this word right here to quote it, you know behold a virgin shall conceive
e parthenos
This is clearly the word for virgin. In fact, there's a really famous building called the parthenon
And why is it called the parthenon it's because they're worshiping
their fake virgin goddess
In the parthenon because a parthenos is a virgin so e parthenos
the virgin
And gastri exe and this is that expression that we talked about again. She shall this is future tense shall have
In gastri she'll have in her belly or in her womb, right?
The virgin is going to be pregnant or have something in her womb or belly
Remember the english word gastric
and gas three exe
texada
And she shall bring forth or give birth to yon a son
Okay
kalesucy
And they shall call right third person plural future
Kalesucy to onomatopo and they shall call his name. Jesus. Let me scroll down one last time
All right, so I jumped the gun on isu and isu comes up all the way down here they shall call his name
Emanuwiel, right? They're going to call his name emmanuel
And that's just a transliteration of the hebrew word. That's not a greek word
Emanuwiel
That's why we have to give a an interpretation now
oesti
methermine vomenon, so this is uh being
interpreted right oesti
methermine vomenon
methermine otheos
God with us. Okay. So this is kind of a long word, right?
methermine vomenon methermine vomenon and and
This word right here. If you get rid of the meth at the beginning, which is the meta prefix and you just have
Ermine vomenon ermine vomenon
This is where the the english word comes from
hermeneutics, right
Ermine vomenon
Hermeneutic is where that comes from and hermeneutics has to do with how someone interprets
scripture well this is
interpreting this foreign word emmanuel
oesti
methermine vomenon, which is being interpreted
methemon
with us
God the god with us. That's what emmanuel means god with us, right?
All right, so what's this saying it's saying uh and
joseph
the
This is he's being raised up or or uh, he's getting up out of sleep, right?
He's being gotten up
and joseph
being raised up
Apotu apnu from the sleep
And apnu
Is where we get our word hypnosis because hypnosis is like putting someone into a trance like you're making someone go to sleep, right?
so basically and joseph
Being raised up from sleep or out of sleep
At peace and he did
from the verb pao
This is the heiress past tense at peace and boss
as like or as
Proseptice and he was commanded
Off to o angelos kiryu. So proseptice is he commanded and who's the one who commanded?
It was
Angelos kiryu the angel of the lord commanded to him
so
being raised up out of sleep joseph did as
Commanded him the angel of the lord
And he took this again from lambano he took
teen yenneka off to
his wife
He took his wife
Alongside him because elave means he took para means
Along side of or beside so basically he took unto him or he took to his side
teen yenneka off to his wife
Excuse me
He did not know her so yinosko means I know in greek and in spanish you have almost the exact same word
Konosko and it means the same thing konosko
yinosko
Both mean the same thing
to know as in
Be familiar with be not knowing facts, but like knowing a person
Okay, ook a yinoskin
and did not
know her
a yinoskin
a teen
Until
When
etika
Means, uh, you know gave birth, right? We already talked about that word where techno comes from
So who etika when?
She gave birth
tone
Yonati's to her son and then here's an important phrase here
Make sure you're reading the king james bible, right tone pro toto cone, right?
The firstborn so a lot of the modern versions are going to delete this word right here
Firstborn i'm sure the catholics are going to love it because the catholics want to believe that mary only had one
Son that she only but the bible records her having many other children
she had at least eight children because it gives us the names of
Four of jesus's brothers and then it says his sisters are they not all with us and all would be at least three
So you had at least seven siblings three
Sisters four brothers and they're his half siblings because they're the children of mary and joseph and he's obviously only biologically
of mary
so she brought forth you can see the similarity between etika she gave birth to and then
Toto cone you can see the tk right there is the giving birth aspect proto
Is the first one right like a prototype?
So the pro toto cone is the first born right pro toto cone that's what that means proto first
tokon
born
So tonyo naftis ton pro toto cone
So she brought forth her firstborn son
k at kalissa and called to onomatu
His name obto means his onomam means name
Isun and of course this looks different because it's in all capital letters
A lot of times names in the bible will just be put in all caps because the name so that's chapter one of matthew
in the greek texas receptus
