Thought of the Day

• Wed Dec 15, 2010
  Abba ab´a (ἀββᾶ,אבּא , 'abbā), Hebraic-Chaldaic, “Father”): In Jewish and old-Christian prayers, a name by which God was addressed, then in oriental churches a title of bishops and patriarchs. So Jesus addresses God in prayer (Mat_11:25, Mat_11:26; Mat_26:39, Mat_26:42; Luk_10:21; Luk_22:42; Luk_23:34; Joh_11:41; Joh_12:27; Joh_17:24, Joh_17:25). In Mar_14:36; Rom_8:15, and Gal_4:6 ὁ πατήρ, ho patḗr, is appended even in direct address, in an emphatic sense. Servants were not permitted to use the appellation in addressing the head of the house. See Delitzsch on Rom_8:15; compare G. Dalman, Gram. des jüd.-palast. Aramaisch, etc., section 40, c. 3.
