    Comments: In a number of languages one cannot speak of a name doing anything or even the ‘power of a name’ accomplishing some goal. Since in Greek the use of ὄνομα ‘name’ is essentially a metonym for the person, it is often necessary to translate an expression such as is in {S:04400301600026} as ‘Christ made him strong’ or ‘Jesus made him strong.’ Such an expression, however, should not imply that this was a miracle performed directly by Jesus, either before or immediately after the resurrection.
