Bible Notes

[The Biblical citations given in the Christian Science Quarterly are from the Authorized King James Version. The Bible Notes in these columns can be used, if deemed necessary, to elucidate some of the words or passages contained in the Bible Lessons. The Notes in this issue are related to the Lesson-Sermon designated to be read in Christian Science churches on February 7, 1943.]

"There went out a fame of him through all the region round about" (Luke 4:14)—The Greek word here translated "fame" has the more literal meaning of "report" or "rumor." Goodspeed gives: "News of him went all over that region;" the Twentieth Century New Testament: "Reports about him spread through all that neighbourhood."

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me ..." (Luke 4:18)—It is particularly singnificant that the Master should choose to read this passage from Isaiah 61:1 when the word "Christ" means literally "the anointed one." Anointing was conceived of in the Biblical period a ration or the setting apart for some particularly important act or service.
