Greek in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

Greek, greek (fr. Lat.). a The language of Greece (Acts 21: 37). b Natives of Greece (John 12:20). Meta. Intellectual reasonings. In Acts 11:20-22 we find that the truth regarding the new teaching of Christ is beginning to reach the old reasonings of the intellect, and the wall of old ideas is being broken down. This change opens the way for the ministry of Paul to the Gentiles (the entire body consciousness), for the intellect must accept Truth before Truth can become life and redemption for the body.
