         Comments: In rendering τόπος[b], περιοχή, or γραφή[a], it is often possible to use a rather general term such as the place or the part. In other instances one may wish to use a term meaning the words. Accordingly, {S:04200402100020} may be rendered as ‘these words have come true today as you have heard them being read.’

         Comments: Some translators have mistakenly attempted to use the rendering ‘Bible’ when translating αἱ γραφαί ‘the Scriptures’ in the NT. The reference is to the OT and not to the entire Bible, including both New and Old Testaments. It is also a mistake to translate αἱ γραφαί as ‘God’s writings,’ for this would give the impression that God himself wrote the words.
