    To Bill's comment, No ...the original transcripts of the Bible were actually written in Hebrew. When King James was alive he wanted a translation he could understand. So 400 years ago the KJV of the Bible was written. This was the language of that day. Everyone spoke using thee and thou.
  • Keiko on Mark 5:15 - 13 years ago
    Why is the present tense used for these verbs, come and see?
  • Joyce Morris on Mark 5 - 14 years ago
    great book
  • Trent on Mark 5 - 14 years ago
    Those old English words are not specific to the Bible, but were used in regular language a couple hundred years ago. Shakespeare uses 'thou' in his works. You can research old English on Wikipedia.

    Its interesting that Jesus makes a distinction at verse 39 that the damsel is asleep and not dead. What is the difference between sleep and death?
  • Bill on Mark 5 - 14 years ago
    Did the original Bible writers actually speak with the use of the "thee, thou, saith, lieth..."
    Of course not, so then why is it used in Bible translations? Is it because man thinks that the words need to be more holy since they come from God? That somehow by adding to the scriptures what was never there to begin with improves them? Its confusing and completely unnecessary.

    I memorized the book of Mark when I was in my senior year in high school. And to this day this remains my favorite chapter.

  • Pam on Mark 5 - 14 years ago
    How great is the Lord that he attends to our needs. This chapter is such a vivid demonstration of the people's man and savior in action. Simple and beautiful, who can miss it!
    And Mathew Henry's commentary is superb encouragement and shines!
    Thank you all who contribute to this web site.
