Think not that I am come to destroy the law or

you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one
tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be

men to do so, he shall be called the least in the

"always"; in fact, till heaven and earth pass

others to do so. Why is he not considered"

28 Deuteronomy 14:1 You are the children of the Lord your God.

Sons in multiplicity.

29 Matthew 5:9

Blessed are the peacemakers, for th ey shall be

called the sons of God.
Commentary:
1. Jesus refers to himself as the" son of man"
81 times in the Bible and as the "Son of God" (
in the sense described above) only twice. This
signifies a point: that he insists on being
perceived as a human being, no more, no less.
2. Robert Alley, a professor at the University of
Richmond, writes: " ... The passages where
Jesus talks about the" Son of God" are later
additions ... what the Church said about him.
Such a claim of deity for himself would not have
been consistent with his entire lifestyle as we
can reconstruct. For the first decades after
Jesus' death Christianity

continued as a sect within Judaism. The first

three decades of the existence of the church
were within the synagogue. That would have
been beyond belief if {the followers} had
boldly proclaimed the deity of Jesus.
3. Marcello Craveri, in his "The life of Jesus",
wrote Actually, the Old Testament does
contain the phrase ebed Yahweh which,
however, means" the servant of God, "the
slave of God," God's liege subject. The Greek
text... translates it equivocally as pais Theou,

simple to replace pias in the sense of "boy"

In Greek, begotten means gennao, as found

in Matt 1:2 ( genealogy table ). Monogenes is
the word in this verse, which means "unique."

verse accordingly.
