A Search in KJV for “after”

 

and an Affirmation of the Meaning of the Greek ‘μετά

 

 

 

 

Abstract:

 

I find from the below search that, in the KJV, the English word “after” is in most cases, when a time relationship is being referenced, a translation of the Greek word “μετά” (Strong’s G3326.) The exceptions are:

 

Strong’s #1223, it appears as though the word “during” may have been a better alternative in these cases, e.g. Mark 2:1

Strong’s #1534, denoting “succession.”

Strong’s #1887, “occuring on the succeeding day.

Strong’s #1899, “thereafter.

Strong’s #3753, “when,” i.e. an event immediately associated with the completion of another event. 

.

However, notice carefully the definition of Strong’s #3326:

 

A primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly denoting accompaniment; “amid” (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive case association, or accusative case succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between G575 or G1537 and G1519 or G4314; less intimate than G1722, and less close than G4862):

 

After the below findings and after thoroughly testing the Greek ‘μετά’ against the context as well as against my calendrical and chronology findings I conclude that the Greek word ‘μετά’ specifies something closely associated, but subsequent, in time. Specifically, I’ve found that it is frequently used to reference the evening following immediately upon the end of a certain numbered day of the week, for instance: “AfterG3326 twoG1417 daysG2250 isG1096 the feast of theG3588 passover,G3957” (Matthew 26:2 KJV,) or as translated into plain English: “Monday night is the beginning of Abib 14, the day for the preparation of the Passover sacrifice.”

 

In summary, I believe it may be appropriate to point out that a thing that is being referenced as being “associated with”, is thereby also being referenced as being secondary, or subsequent, to that thing, or event, that is primary. That should be an obvious built in meaning of the Greek word ‘μετά.’
