John 21:17 - Did Peter Say that Jesus is Omniscient? (working on)

This study has not yet been edited.

The phrase, "Our Lord," is referring to "Jehovah" of verses 1 and 2; in the King James Version we find that God's Holy Name has been changed to "the LORD" in  verses 1 and 2. The word translated as "infinite" above is Strong's #369. Brown-Driver-Brigg's definition of this word is: "1) nothing, not, nought; 1a) nothing, nought (noun); 1b) not (negative); 1c) to have not (of possession); 1d) without (adverb): 1e) for lack of (without a preposition)."
