Commanded
Command
"This Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People."[1]
- You might think that if Jesus commanded His ministers to organize the people in patterns of tens that the people who claim to be ministers of Christ would be doing just that. If He told them to feed my sheep and care for the needy providing daily bread from house to house[2] they without exercising authority to provide that daily ministration through the practice of Pure Religion in the service of His Church they would be striving to do that too.
- If Jesus told His appointed minister they had to give up their personal estates, belong to Him not being part of the world and follow Him that you would see all those who are his ministers today doing something similar.
- If Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their Corban which was provided benefits to the people by men who called themselves benefactors but exercised authority one over the other and failing to attend to the weightier matters then those who men who call themselves ministers of Christ but do not do what He commanded may be the many workers of iniquity He warned us of and in need of repentance.
It appears that the practices of the modern Church is drastically different than what the early Church did daily. Modern Christians are often doing things that early Christians were persecuted for refusing to do.
We see the word commanded numerous times in the Bible. Sometimes it is men commanding other men sometimes it is God or Jesus making commands. Did Jesus ever command His disciples to do something important?
The first place we see the word commanded is in Genesis when God commanded man not to eat of the tree of Knowledge but only of the tree of life.[3] It is probably just as important to understand what those trees are as it is to understand the word commanded.
The word there is [4] in the form of VavYodTzadikVav from the Hebrew root word TzadikVavHey is used to create the Hebrew word commandment, mitsvah, TzadikVavHeyMem.[5]
There are several Greek words translated commanded in the New Testament and the first one is prostasso, which only appears 7 times.[6] It is a word that means more to bid someone to do something or conform to some order or arrangement rather than a forceful command.
Epitasso
There is the Greek word epitasso (epetaxen)[7] which appears 10 times 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[8] and ranks of a hundred.
- Mark 6:39 according to Westcott and Hort 1881 Greek text is as follows:
- καὶ ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς ἀνακλιθῆναι πάντας συμπόσια συμπόσια ἐπὶ τῷ χλωρῷ χόρτῳ.
| kai | epetaxen | autois | anaklinai | pantas | symposia | symposia | epi | tō | chlōrō | chortō. |
| 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. |
So we can see in the literal translation which reads:
- "And he commanded them to make sit down all by companies by companies upon the green grass."
The word by companies which is symposia is repeated twice in the original text expressing a repetition in orders of tens and the word epitasso[7] translated he commanded is a compound of Tasso[9] which also produces taxis[10] all of which express an order or pattern.
- This word sumposion[11] translated company 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" and is a traditional Greek word often signifying a group of around ten men.
The phrase upon the green[12] grass[13] which is a term often meaning yellow green suggesting an event later in the year such as the time of the Feast of Tabernacles which was traditionally the time when Israel organized itself in the pattern of tens which allowed them to function as a nation without a central king or top-down authority.
- Mark 6:40 also using the Westcott and Hort 1881 text is as follows:
- καὶ ἀνέπεσαν πρασιαὶ πρασιαὶ κατὰ ἑκατὸν καὶ κατὰ πεντήκοντα.
| kai | anepesan | prasiai[14] | prasiai[14] | kata | hekaton | kai | kata | pentēkonta. |
| καὶ | ἀνέπεσαν | πρασιαὶ | πρασιαὶ | κατὰ | ἑκατὸν | καὶ | κατὰ | πεντήκοντα. |
| And | they sat down | in ranks, | in ranks, | by | hundreds, | and | by | fifties. |
Which translates:
Here we again see the term for "ranks" is also repeated twice in the original text and is from the word prasia[14] which as a Hebrew idiom i.e. they reclined in ranks or divisions, so that several ranks formed, as it were separate plots and again this order was to be by hundreds, and by fifties"[8] because there were 5000 men who were elders of families.[15]
This use of a term translated rank has nothing to do with rank of authority like a military rank of authority but is a reference to a way to network the different small groups of tens so that there can be a way to ensure that everyone is accounted for and form a cohesive group without a top-down authority.
Paraggello
Another Greek word translated command is paraggello [16] which may include the idea of a command but by itself it only means "to transmit a message along from one to another, to declare". There are uses of the word depending on context where the word paraggello carries the weight of an order.
Jesus used this word in Mark 6:8 When he said "And commanded[16] them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:". But also in Mark 8:6 when "And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people." The second verse is where He "commanded the people to sit down". While we may read that as a command it was more like an instruction that it was time to sit down as they did in Mark 6:39 but the word was epitasso and he was commanding the disciples not the people.
We see Jesus use the word in Matthew 10:5 "These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not:"
Why would Jesus forbid his apostles to go to other nations including the Samaritan when he was praising the faith of a Roman centurion and the Good Samaritan? Was Jesus trying to tell, command, His disciples to do something else? Jesus would later send them out to preach to all nations, so this prohibition was just at that time.
It is probably as important to understand the words sent forth which is from apostello[17] and the words way from hodos [18], enter from the Greek eiserchomai [19] and city from the Greek polis.[20]
If those words were used according to their meaning as metaphors what Jesus was saying was quite different than what some would have you to think.
The word "the way" means "a course of conduct" or "a way (i.e. manner) of thinking, feeling, deciding". The apostles were called to Repent which means to think differently. Was Jesus warning them to be guarded against conducting themselves like the men who exercise authority but call themselves benefactors or thinking like the other nations who accepted the covetous practices, free bread, and socialism of Rome and its public religion, the Imperial Cult of Rome?
The Greek term eiserchomai[19] is warning them not to "enter" into the "polis" of the Samaritans could easily mean that Jesus did not want them to enter into "condition or status" within the political city-states. From the beginning to the end Jesus wanted to keep his disciples separate from the world which was the constitutional orders and systems of governments of the people who exercise authority one over the other.
A third word in the Greek text translated commanded is keleuo [21] which specifically does mean to command and appears some 27 times[22], usually by people in positions of authority like Herod, Pilate, Festus or the chief captain. It is from a primary Greek word kello meaning "to urge on".
Peter uses the term "keleuo" in reference to Jesus giving him a command.[23] And Jesus uses it in one of His Parables.[24]
Jesus uses the term "keleuo" several times in order to direct the His disciples and the people who sought to follow Him.[25]
There is another word that means command which we find in the New Testament. The Greek verb entellomai[26]meaning "to order, command to be done, enjoin" is seen some 17 times in the text.
The Greek word entellomai was used once in relationship to the last will and testament of Joseph concerning is bones. [27]
Adversaries of Christ used the word twice to mock Jesus.[28]
The term was used four times in reference to Moses giving commands.[29]
Jesus used the term 9 times concerning commands directed for us to obey.[30]
