The question is, lit., "What to Me and to thee?" and the word "woman," the term of endearment, follows this. The meaning is "There is no obligation on Me or you, but love will supply the need." She confides in Him, He responds to her faith. There was lovingkindness in both hearts. His next words about "His hour" suit this; they were not unfamiliar to her. Cana is in the path to Calvary; Calvary was not yet, but it made the beginning of signs possible. See also John 4:21 ; John 19:26 .VED-NT Woman.3

In Galatians 4:4 the phrase "born of a woman" is in accordance with the subject there, viz., the real humanity of the Lord Jesus; this the words attest. They declare the method of His Incarnation and "suggest the means whereby that humanity was made free from the taint of sin consequent upon the Fall, viz., that He was not born through the natural process of ordinary generation, but was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit ... To have written 'born of a virgin' would have carried the argument in a wrong direction ... Since that man is born of woman is a universal fact, the statement would be superfluous if the Lord Jesus were no more than man" (Notes on Galatians, by Hogg and Vine, pp. 184f.).VED-NT Woman.4

denotes (I) "the expression of thought," not the mere name of an object, (a) as embodying a conception or idea, e.g., Luke 7:7 ; 1 Corinthians 14:9, 19 ; (b) a saying or statement, (1) by God, e.g., John 15:25 ; Romans 9:9 ; Romans 9:28 , RV, "word" (AV, "work"); Galatians 5:14 ; Hebrews 4:12 ; (2) by Christ, e.g., Matthew 24:35 (plur.); John 2:22 ; John 4:41 ; John 14:23 (plur.); 15:20. In connection with (1) and (2) the phrase "the word of the Lord," i.e., the revealed will of God (very frequent in the OT), is used of a direct revelation given by Christ, 1 Thessalonians 4:15 ; of the gospel, Acts 8:25 ; Acts 13:49 ; Acts 15:35, 36 ; Acts 16:32 ; Acts 19:10 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:8 ; 2 Thessalonians 3:1 ; in this respect it is the message from the Lord, delivered with His authority and made effective by His power (cp. Acts 10:36 ); for other instances relating to the gospel see Acts 13:26 ; Acts 14:3 ; Acts 15:7 ; 1 Corinthians 1:18 , RV; 2 Corinthians 2:17 ; 2 Corinthians 4:2 ; 2 Corinthians 5:19 ; 2 Corinthians 6:7 ; Galatians 6:6 ; Ephesians 1:13 ; Philippians 2:16 ; Colossians 1:5 ; Hebrews 5:13 ; sometimes it is used as the sum of God's utterances, e.g., Mark 7:13 ; John 10:35 ; Revelation 1:2, 9 ; (c) discourse, speech, of instruction, etc., e.g., Acts 2:40 ; 1 Corinthians 2:13 ; 1 Corinthians 12:8 ; 2 Corinthians 1:18 ; 1 Thessalonians 1:5 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:15 ; Hebrews 6:1 , RV, marg.; doctrine, e.g., Matthew 13:20 ; Colossians 3:16 ; 1 Timothy 4:6 ; 2 Timothy 1:13 ; Titus 1:9 ; 1 John 2:7 ;VED-NT Word.3

(II) "The Personal Word," a title of the Son of God; this identification is substantiated by the statements of doctrine in John 1:1-18 , declaring in verses John 1:1, 2 (1) His distinct and superfinite Personality, (2) His relation in the Godhead (pros, "with," not mere company, but the most intimate communion), (3) His deity; in John 1:3 His creative power; in John 1:14 His incarnation ("became flesh," expressing His voluntary act; not as AV, "was made"), the reality and totality of His human nature, and His glory "as of the only begotten from the Father," RV (marg., "an only begotten from a father"), the absence of the article in each place lending stress to the nature and character of the relationship; His was the shekinah glory in open manifestation; John 1:18 consummates the identification: "the only-begotten Son (RV marg., many ancient authorities read "God only begotten,"), which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him," thus fulfilling the significance of the title "Logos," the "Word," the personal manifestation, not of a part of the Divine nature, but of the whole Deity (see IMAGE).VED-NT Word.4

The title is used also in 1 John 1:1 , "the Word of life" combining the two declarations in John 1:1, 4 and Revelation 19:13 (for 1 John 5:7 see THREE).VED-NT Word.5

2: ῥῆμα
(Strong's #4487 — Noun Neuter — rhema — hray'-mah )VED-NT Word.6

denotes "that which is spoken, what is uttered in speech or writing;" in the singular, "a word," e.g., Matthew 12:36 ; Matthew 27:14 ; 2 Corinthians 12:4 ; 2 Corinthians 13:1 ; Hebrews 12:19 ; in the plural, speech, discourse, e.g., John 3:34 ; John 8:20 ; Acts 2:14 ; Acts 6:11, 13 ; Acts 11:14 ; Acts 13:42 ; Acts 26:25 ; Romans 10:18 ; 2 Peter 3:2 ; Jude 1:17 ; it is used of the Gospel in Romans 10:8 (twice),17, RV, "the word of Christ" (i.e., the "word" which preaches Christ); 10:18; 1 Peter 1:25 (twice); of a statement, command, instruction, e.g., Matthew 26:75 ; Luke 1:37 , RV, "(no) word (from God shall be void of power);" Luke 1:38 ; Acts 11:16 ; Hebrews 11:3 .VED-NT Word.7

The significance of rhema (as distinct from logos) is exemplified in the injunction to take "the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God," Ephesians 6:17 ; here the reference is not to the whole Bible as such, but to the individual scripture which the Spirit brings to our remembrance for use in time of need, a prerequisite being the regular storing of the mind with Scripture.VED-NT Word.8

Notes: (1) Epos, "a word," is used in a phrase in Hebrews 7:9 , lit., "(as to say) a word," RV, "(so to) say," AV, "(as I may so) say;" logos is reasoned speech, rhema, an utterance, epos, "the articulated expression of a thought" (Abbott-Smith). (2) In Romans 16:18 , AV, chrestologia, "useful discourse" (chrestos, "beneficial"), is rendered "good words" [RV, "smooth ... (speech)"]. (3) For logikos, 1 Peter 2:2 (RV, "spiritual"), rendered "of the word," AV, see MILK. (4) For the verb apangello, rendered "to bring word," see BRING , No. 36. (5) In Matthew 2:13 , AV, eipon, "to tell" (RV) is rendered "bring ... word." (6) For "enticing words," Colossians 2:4 , see ENTICE and PERSUASIVENESS. (7) For "strifes of words," 1 Timothy 6:4 , AV, and "strive ... about words," 2 Timothy 2:14 , see STRIFE , STRIVE. (8) For suntomos, Acts 24:4 , "a few words," see FEW , B.

Note: As to Matthew 18:26 , this is mentioned as follows, in the "List of readings and renderings preferred by the American Committee" (see RV Classes of Passages, IV): "At the word 'worship' in Matthew 2:2 , etc., add the marginal note 'The Greek word denotes an act of reverence, whether paid to man (see chap. Matthew 18:26 ) or to God (see chap. Matthew 4:10 )'." The Note to John 9:38 in the American Standard Version in this connection is most unsound; it implies that Christ was a creature. J. N.

Write, Wrote, Written

A — 1: γράφω
(Strong's #1125 — Verb — grapho — graf'-o )VED-NT Write, Wrote, Written.2

is used (a) of "forming letters" on a surface or writing material, John 8:6 ; Galatians 6:11 , where the Apostle speaks of his having "written" with large letters in his own hand, which not improbably means that at this point he took the pen from his amanuensis and finished the Epistle himself; this is not negatived by the fact that the verb is in the aorist or past definite tense, lit., "I wrote," for in Greek idiom the writer of a letter put himself beside the reader and spoke of it as having been "written" in the past; in Eng. we should say "I am writing," taking our point of view from the time at which we are doing it; cp. Philemon 1:19 (this Ep. is undoubtedly a holograph), where again the equivalent English translation is in the present tense (see also Acts 15:23 ; Romans 15:15 ); possibly the Apostle, in Galatians, was referring to his having "written" the body of the Epistle but the former alternative seems the more likely; in 2 Thessalonians 3:17 he says that the closing salutation is written by his own hand and speaks of it as "the token in every Epistle" which some understand as a purpose for the future rather than a custom; see, however, 1 Corinthians 16:21 ; Colossians 4:18 . The absence of the token from the other Epistles of Paul can be explained differently, their authenticity not being dependent upon this; (b) "to commit to writing, to record," e.g., Luke 1:63 ; John 19:21, 22 ; it is used of Scripture as a standing authority, "it is written," e.g., Mark 1:2 ; Romans 1:17 (cp. 2 Corinthians 4:13 ); (c) of "writing directions or giving information," e.g., Romans 10:5 , "(Moses) writeth," RV (AV, "describeth"); Romans 15:15 ; 2 Corinthians 7:12 ; (d) of "that which contained a record or message," e.g., Mark 10:4, 5 ; John 19:19 ; John 21:25 ; Acts 23:25 .VED-NT Write, Wrote, Written.3
