Epitasso

There is the Greek word epitasso (epetaxen) which appears 10 times[1] and means to enjoin upon, order, command, charge. Jesus uses this word when he commanded His disciples to organize the people in small groups or companies networked together in ranks of fifty and ranks of a hundred.

Mark 6:39 "And he commanded[2] them to make all sit down by companies[3] upon the green[4] grass.[5]. And they sat down in ranks[6], by hundreds, and by fifties.[41] And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."

Mark 6:39

  • Westcott and Hort 1881
καὶ ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς ἀνακλιθῆναι πάντας συμπόσια συμπόσια ἐπὶ τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ.
And he commanded them to make sit down all by companies by companies upon the green grass.[7]

Mark 6:40

Westcott and Hort 1881
καὶ ἀνέπεσαν πρασιαὶ πρασιαὶ κατὰ ἑκατὸν καὶ κατὰ πεντήκοντα.
And they sat down in ranks, in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.[8]

The word "rank" is repeated several times in the text. It is from the Greek word prasia from a Hebrew idiom.[9]

The “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" of Hebrews 10:25 was exemplified when the disciples were "commanded" by Jesus to make the people sit down in "ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties."[10]

We see this same pattern of Tens when the disciples were told to make the people sit down by fifties in a company in Luke 9:14.[11]

But this pattern of Tens was at essential at Pentecost when thousands upon thousands of Jewish citizens accepted Jesus as the Christ and king and upon their Baptism they were cast of the system of Corban that was making the word of God to none effect.

This organized gathering in Tens was to implement the welfare of The Congregation of the people, for the benefit of the people by the people's fervent charity freely provided through the hands of Jesus' disciples. The early Church practiced Pure Religion in a network of charity and hope that bound the people together in love. This righteous Corban of Christ would make the word of God to effect again.

The entire Christian conflict with Rome was rooted in the "union and discipline" of their network of Charity. The true Early Christian did not apply for benefits at the government temples of Rome nor did they take part in the Imperial Cult of Rome of social welfare provided through the Fathers of the earth who called themselves Benefactors but exercised authority one over the other.


  1. ↑ 2004 ~ἐπιτάσσω~ epitasso \@ep-ee-tas’-so\@ from 1909 and 5021; ; v AV-command 8, charge 1, enjoin 1; 10
    1) to enjoin upon, order, command, charge
    The Greek word epitasso translated command appear 10 times but only a few times in the Bible in reference to Jesus. He commanded unclean spirits in Mark 1:27, Luke 4:36, Mark 9:25 and in Luke 8:31. We also see Him command the wind in Luke 8:25.
    While Jesus uses the word in Luke 14:22 in a parable of a master commanding his servants to gather people for the wedding feast the only time Jesus commanded people was his disciples in Mark 6:39 to make all sit down by companies.
    In Mark 6:27 we see the king sent an executioner, and commanded John the Baptist's head to be brought and Acts 23:2 The high priest Ananias commanded men to smite Jesus on the mouth.
    It is very clear the word epitasso is not an invitation, a suggestion, advise, statement
    The word "commandments" is not the same and it is usually the Greek word entole which means more a precept or a statement like the word we see in the Old Testament for Commandments.
    also Philemon 1:8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin <2004> thee that which is convenient,
  2. ↑ Matthew 15:35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
  3. ↑ The word companies is repeated twice in the original text.
    4849 ~συμπόσιον~ sumposion \@soom-pos’-ee-on\@ from a derivative of the alternate of 4844; ; n n AV-company 1, not tr. 1; Repeated twice in Mark 6:39
    1) a drinking party, entertainment
    1a) of the party itself, the guests
    1b) rows of guests
    "The symposium (or symposion) was an important part of ancient Greek culture from the 7th century BCE and was a party held in a private home where Greek males gathered to drink, eat and sing together. Various topics were also discussed such as philosophy, politics, poetry and the issues of the day."
    " The equivalent of a Greek symposium in Roman society is the Latin convivium."
    A Roman convivium according to Marcus Tullius Cicero for the republican period and Seneca suggest that ten to twelve was the maximum number.
    Plato in his "Laws" endorses the benefits of the symposium as a means to test and promote virtue in citizens.
    This word sumposion is derived in part from the word pino which means "figuratively, to receive into the soul what serves to refresh strengthen, nourish it unto life eternal"
  4. ↑ Green from the Greek word chloros can mean yellowish pale because it is not the primary word for green.
  5. ↑ Is the green grass like the green pastures of Psalms 23:2 "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters." The word pasture is na’ah meaning a habitation or abode in the sense of "beautiful" and "befitting". Green in Hebrew is deshe from dasha meaning cause to sprout or come forth.
  6. ↑ ranks is also repeated twice in original text and is from the word prasia which as a Hebrew idiom i.e. they reclined in ranks or divisions, so that several ranks formed, as it were separate plots.

    1) a plot of ground, a garden bed
    2) Hebrew idiom i.e. they reclined in ranks or divisions, so that several ranks formed, as it were separate plots
  10. ↑ John 6:10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
    Luke 9:15 "And they did so, and made them all sit down."
