Pope Shenouda III






On many occasions the Evangelists used the word 'Lord' to mean Christ. In the miracle of raising the son of the widow of Nain, St. Luke, speaking about the widow, says: "When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, 'Do not weep' (Lk. 7:13). When the disciples experienced the submission of the demons to them, they said to the Lord Jesus Christ: "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name" (Lk. 10: 17). In the miracle of the transfiguration, the disciples said to Him: "Lord, it is good for us to be here" (Matt. 17:4). At the event of Peter's denial, St Luke says: "And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, 'Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times"' (Lk. 22:61). In the story of Zacchaeus, St Luke says: "Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, 'Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor"' (Lk. 19:8). Also, in chapter 22, verses 31 to 61, the word 'Lord' is attributed to Christ six times.
