Aramaic: my Lord (the same word as in my Lord Jesus Christ); emphatic form 1st person suffix

Vulgate: my Lord (same word as in Lord Jesus Christ)

 

            *This is the use of the Greek word for master in reference to God. Jehovah includes obedience but means far more also.

Here the Heavenly Father called Himself adown, lord (rather than adownai – Supreme Lord) in relationship to the people of His covenant.

Our lord proves that he had the authority, exousia, to both forgive and heal in Luke 5:23-25.

            *This refers to God, since we pray to no other. However, this doesn't echo any Old Testament phrase referring to the Jehovah of the harvest. Thus, this corresponds to the one of the Hebrew words translated lord, adown or adownai. Those who believe in Jesus Christ were given to him of the Father. It is His, God's, harvest. He is the master of the harvest, the one in charge, therefore, of those who labor therein.

            *This phrase is given three times in the New Testament: Matt. 11:25, Luke 10:21, and Acts 17:24. This is probably a translation of the Hebrew in Genesis 14:19 & 22 that the renders as: "the possessor of heaven and earth."

*According to Rotterdam the Greek article ought to certainly be translated here, in John 13:13-14. If this is so, the many instances of the Aramaic’s use of my Lord or our lord instead of “the lord” must be understood in a different light than a literal translation. Perhaps, “the lord of me” or “the lord of us” is not such a farfetched understanding of these many Syriac gospel expressions. In other words, the Syriac should not be misunderstood to mean something significantly different than the Greek readings. In fact, much of the difference in feel seems related to the use of the Greek vocative for which there is not a clear analogue in Syriac.
