Benefactor
VIEW:57 DATA:01-04-2020
BENEFACTOR.Luk_22:25 only, they that exercise authority over them (the Gentiles) are called benefactors. The word is an exact tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of the Gr. Euergetçs, a title of honour borne by two of the Gr. kings of Egypt before Christs day, Ptolemy III. (b.c. 247222) and Ptolemy VII. (IX.) (b.c. 147117). Hence RV [Note: Revised Version.] properly spells with a capital, Benefactors.

ben-ē̇-fak?tẽr (Greek euergétēs, Luk_22:25): There is here a probable allusion to two kings of Egypt (Ptolemy III and VII), who had the surname ?Euergetes,? of whom the period of the first was 247-242 bc, and of the second, 147-117 bc. Jesus draws the contrast between worldly kingdoms, in which the title ?benefactor? is given those who rule with all the splendor of earthly display and luxury, and His kingdom, in which it belongs only to those whose work is that of humble, obscure and often menial service.

Benefactor
(εὐεργέτης). The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors (Luk_22:25). This word was employed as a title of hora or to kings and princes, corresponding to the Latin pater patriae. Ptolemy Euergetes, king of Egypt, affords an instance of the application of the word in this sense. According to Josephus and Philo, it was frequently applied to the Roman emperors (see Josephus, War, 3, 9, 8; Diod. Sic. 11:26; Xen. Anab. 7, 6, 38)
