[22] "Messias" comes from the Hebrew "masiah, " which means
"anointed, " being derived from the Hebrew verb "masah, " "to
anoint." It corresponds to the Greek Christos, Messias (John
1:42; 4:25), and to "Christus" in the Latin Vulgate.

Protestants agree that the Acts of the Apostles was written by St.
Luke about A.D. 70. Harnack says A.D. 78-83, or
perhaps 60-70.

[111] Ibid., 7:58. The Word "Lord" (ho Kyrios,
(Gr.)) in the Acts of the Apostles as in other books of the New
Testament, denotes the divinity itself. See A. Lemmonyer,

[120] I Cor. 1:23f.
[121] Col. 2:9f.
[122] Phil. 2:5f. In this utterance the phrase "being in the
form of God" (hos en morphe theou (Gr.)) the word morphe
(Gr.) ("form") signifies something that belongs inseparably to
the essence of any being. Thus in the present instance it designates
the divine essence or nature, and this is confirmed from the words that
follow, namely, "to be equal with God."

[127] John 1:1.
[128] It is unfortunate that we have not a more accurate translation of
the Greek verb egeneto (Gr.) in the Vulgate, which the Douai
Version translate "were made." The same applies to the phrase,
"The Word was made flesh, " which would have no meaning to the
Greek mind if used in this sense. (Tr.)
