What did Jesus really mean by change of mind? Let us look into various other things into consideration. Thus we can not ignore the formation of metanoia which gives us the basic definition a change of mind.Ī change of mind is very vague. Still, a word’s origin is not arbitrary, but informative. Tracing the root meanings is very helpful towards, but not determinative of, final meaning. Metonoia has nothing to do with the sins you have committed…
In Classical Greek metanoia meant changing one’s mind about someone or something Metanoia means afterthought, from meta meaning “after” or “beyond” and nous meaning “mind”. Let us dive right into that and also look into various analysis available on the internet. The original Greek word used in New Testament for what we call as repentance is ‘Metanoia’. And I would say, the translation of Bible to English has killed the real meaning of most of the well known Bible verses. Jesus spoke in Aramaic, Old Testament in Bible was written in Hebrew and the New Testament was written in Koine-Greek.
What did Jesus, the son of God who came to earth more than r 2000 years ago really mean when he said that? Let us start our analysis…įirst of all, we all know that Jesus didn’t speak in English, and Bible was not written originally in English. We are going to look into it and see what this verse really means. This gave the concept of repentance to Christianity. We have heard and read the following Bible verse over and over again:Īnd saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
