Thanks David.
26:39 does indeed have Jesus prostrate in supplication to hO QEOS,
asking for something for himself. An inferior asking His Superior.
He is not, apparently, PROSKUNEWing hO QEOS in this action, and if I
understand this right, he never does. Men do PROSKUNEW Him, and hO
QEOS, but not He hO QEOS. I have no idea where all this leads, but it
sure has my attention for the meaning of this term.
It just feels outrageous to me that Jesus does not once, in the entire
GNT, worship His Father. I just don't get it. Jesus Christ does not
worship God??? Why??? What relationship between them would preclude
worship?
My overcrowded back burners just got WAY more overcrowded!!
