Meister Des Lehrbuchs Kaiser Maximilians I
''Meister'' () means 'master' in German (as in master craftsman, or as an honorific title such as Meister Eckhart). The word is akin to master and maestro. In sports, ''Meister'' is used for the current national, European or world champion (e.g. ''Deutscher Meister'', ''Europameister'', ''Weltmeister''). ''Meister'', in compositions such as ''Polizeimeister'' or ''Wachtmeister'', has a tradition in the ranks of various German police forces, partially also in Switzerland. During the Second World War, ''Meister'' was the highest enlisted rank of the German ''Ordnungspolizei''. In professional life, ''Meister'' usually refers to a higher degree in vocational education. ''Meister'' has been borrowed into English slang, where it is used in compound nouns.

Christian Discipleship
In Christianity, a disciple is a dedicated follower of Jesus. This term is found in the New Testament only in the Gospels and Acts. Originating in the ancient Near East, the concept of a disciple is an adherent of a teacher. Discipleship is not the same as being a student in the modern sense; a disciple in the ancient biblical world actively imitated both the life and teaching of the master. It was a deliberate apprenticeship which made the fully formed disciple a living copy of the master. The New Testament records many followers of Jesus during his ministry. Some disciples were given a mission, such as the Little Commission, the commission of the seventy in Luke's Gospel, the Great Commission after the resurrection of Jesus, or the conversion of Paul, making them '' apostles'', charged with proclaiming the gospel (the Good News) to the world. Jesus emphasised that being his disciples would be costly. Background of the term The term "disciple" represents the Koine Gree ...

Lord's Prayer
The Lord's Prayer, also known by its incipit Our Father (, ), is a central Christian prayer attributed to Jesus. It contains petitions to God focused on God’s holiness, will, and kingdom, as well as human needs, with variations across manuscripts and Christian traditions. Two versions of this prayer are recorded in the gospels: a longer form within the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, and a shorter form in the Gospel of Luke when "one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples. Scholars generally agree that the differences between the Matthaean and Lucan versions of the Lord’s Prayer reflect independent developments from a common source. The first-century text '' Didache'' (at chapter VIII) reports a version closely resembling that of Matthew and the modern prayer. It ends with the Minor Doxology. Theologians broadly view the Lord’s Prayer as a model that aligns the soul with God’s will, emphasizing praise, tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Beatitudes
The Beatitudes () are blessings recounted by Jesus in Matthew 5:3–10 within the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, and four in the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke, followed by four woes which mirror the blessings. In the Latin Vulgate, each of these blessings begins with the word , which translates to (plural adjective). The corresponding word in the original Greek is (), with the same meaning. Thus "Blessed are the poor in spirit" appears in Latin as . The Latin noun was neologism, coined by Cicero to describe a state of blessedness and was later incorporated within the chapter headings written for Matthew 5 in various printed versions of the Vulgate. Subsequently, the word was anglicisation, anglicized to in the Great Bible, Great Bible of 1540, and has, over time, taken on a preferred spelling of ''beatitudes''. While some opinions can differ as to exactly how many distinct statements into which the Beatitudes should be divided (ranging from eig ...

Canonical Gospel
Gospel originally meant the Christian message ("the gospel"), but in the second century AD the term (, from which the English word originated as a calque) came to be used also for the books in which the message was reported. In this sense a gospel can be defined as a loose-knit, episodic narrative of the words and deeds of Jesus, culminating in his trial and death, and concluding with various reports of his post-resurrection appearances. The Gospels are commonly seen as literature that is based on oral traditions, Christian preaching, and Old Testament exegesis with the consensus being that they are a variation of Greco-Roman biography; similar to other ancient works such as Xenophon's ''Memoirs of Socrates''. They are meant to convince people that Jesus was a charismatic miracle-working holy man, providing examples for readers to emulate. As such, they present the Christian message of the second half of the first century AD, Modern biblical scholars are therefore cauti ...

Horns Of Hattin
The Horns of Hattin ( ) is an extinct volcano with twin peaks overlooking the plains of Hittin, Hattin in the Lower Galilee, Israel. It is most famous as the site of the Battle of Hattin (1187). History and archaeology Excavations were carried out on the hill in 1976 and 1981. The ruined Canaanite hilltop fortress of Tel Qarney Hittin, the site name used by Israeli archaeologists, was identified by Zvi Gal with Meron/Merom of the Hebrew Bible (Joshua 11, "waters of Merom") and with the city mentioned as ''m-r-m-i-m'' in a campaign list of Thutmose III (r. 1479–1425 BCE), and again by Ramses II (r. 1279–1213 BCE) and Tiglath Pileser III in 733/32 BCE, based on geography, archaeology, text analysis, and logical assumptions. Some scholars have identified the hill with the Mount of Beatitudes, where Jesus delivered his Sermon on the Mount.Livingston, p. 340.Tischendorf and Shuckard, 1847, p. 240. Writing in 1864, Fergus Ferguson describes it as the "supposed" site, because alth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mount Arbel
Mount Arbel (, ''Har Arbel'') is a mountain in The Lower Galilee near Tiberias in Israel, with high cliffs, views of Mount Hermon and the Golan Heights, a cave-fortress, and ruins of an ancient synagogue. Mount Arbel sits across from Mount Nitai; their cliffs were created as a result of the geological processes leading to the creation of the Jordan Rift Valley. There are four villages on the mountain: Kfar Zeitim, Arbel, Kfar Hittim, and Mitzpa. The peak, at 181 metres above sea level (380 metres above the surrounding area), dominates the surroundings (much of the area is below sea level), and from the lookout atop the mountain, almost all of the Galilee is visible including Safed, as well as Tiberias and most of the Sea of Galilee, and the slopes of the Golan Heights on the other side of the Sea. History Dug into the mountain are a number of documented Jews, Jewish cliff dwellings, expanded from natural caves, dating back to the Second Temple period. The inhabitants built ritua ...

Mount Of Beatitudes
The Mount of Beatitudes (, ''Har HaOsher'') is a hill in northern Israel, in the Korazim Plateau. It is the traditional site of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Location The site known as the Mount of Beatitudes is on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee, between Capernaum and the archeological site of Tel Kinrot, covered by the ruins of ancient Kinneret (also known as Ginosar and Gennesaret), on the southern slopes of the Korazim Plateau. Its negative altitude (around 25 metres below sea level, nearly 200 metres above the Sea of Galilee) makes it one of the lowest summits of the world. This site, very near Tabgha and also known as Mount Eremos, has been commemorated for more than 1600 years. Other suggested locations for the Jesus' Sermon on the Mount have included the nearby Mount Arbel, or even the Horns of Hattin. Churches A Byzantine church was erected lower down the slope from the current site in the 4th century, and it was used until the 7th century. Rem ...

Matthew 25
Matthew 25, the twenty-fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, continues the Olivet Discourse or "Little Apocalypse" spoken by Jesus Christ (title), Christ, also described as the Eschatology, Eschatological Discourse, which had started in Matthew 24, chapter 24.Carr, A.Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges: Matthew 24 accessed 10 October 2019 American theologian Jason Hood, writing in the ''Journal of Biblical Literature'', argues that Matthew 23, chapter 23, Matthew 24, chapter 24, and chapter 25 of the Gospel of Matthew form the fifth and final Five Discourses of Matthew, discourse in the gospel.
