Wherever the σωμα is, there the αετοι will gather.

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Ron Goetz

There is some debate over how to translate Luke 17:37b. The question regards how to translate two words, σωμα and αετοι.  σωμα is the usual word for body, and αετοι is the usual word for eagles.  I believe that in this passage, … Continue reading →
