The presence of Forged Words in the Bible
The original Greek Manuscript of the verse John 13:16 say according to the 21st Century King James Version: “Verily, verily I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.”
This is no more than 60% correct translation of the Greek verse found in the original Manuscript.
There are four essential Greek words in John 13:16; simply they are the slave and his owner and the Sender and the sent.
These four essential Greek words are:
1) δοῦλος, it is pronounced as doulos and it means a slave, bondman, one who gives himself up to another’s will. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “The servant“
2) κύριος, it is pronounced as kyrios and it means the possessor of a thing, the owner; one who has control of the person; he to whom a person or thing belongs, master, lord. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “lord“.
3) ἀπόστολος, it is pronounced as apostolos and it means a messenger, one sent forth with orders, a delegate, an ambassador. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “he that is sent“
4) πέμπω, it is pronounced as pempō and it means to order a thing to be carried to one, to send. The 21st Century King James Version translates it to “he that sent“
