The Biblical term "Jesus" appears in term and renderings for Matthew 1:1 But not Matt 5:1. Any ideas.

Question

When I select current verse using All Biblical Terms. In Matthew 1:1 it lists the term Jesus.  But Jesus does not show up in Matt 5:1

Answer 1

Looking at the Greek text, the word Jesus is not found in Matthew 5:1. There is a pronoun instead. The Biblical Terms lists are based on the Greek/Hebrew texts.

One way to check to see if you are consistent with a base text is to search for the word in the base text (in this case Jesus) and then search in the vernacular, but instead of creating a new list (found under the "more" options) you should choose to remove from the list. This will remove all the places that you have Jesus and show places where it exists in the base, but not your text.
