Worship or Obeisance

 

​

Matthew 14.33:

NWT - Then those in the boat did obeisance to him, saying: “You really are God’s Son.”

KIT - οἱ (The (ones) δὲ (but) ἐν (in) τῷ (the) πλοίῳ (boat) προσεκύνησαν (did obeisance) αὐτῷ (to him) λέγοντες (saying) ᾿Αληθῶς (Truthfully) θεοῦ (of God) υἱὸς (Son) εἶ. (you are.)

 

​

John 4.20:

NWT - Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”

Why have the Watchtower removed the most commonly accepted meaning of the word “proskyneo”, a meaning which they happily use throughout scripture until it comes to it’s use around Jesus.

 

Why has the footnote changed?

​

It is because the teaching of the Bible is incompatible with the teaching of the Watchtower
