Question
Dear Dean,
First I would like to know what the greek words are in two Bible verses. 1. 'bringing' from Hebrews 2:10 and 2.'guiding' in John 18:3.
Second, if these words are different are you able to tell me if they are interchangeable?
With thanks,
Honey
The Greek word used in Heb.2:10 is "ago" which means "to lead" but in some cases can mean to "induce"
The Greek word used in Jn.18:3 is a form of "lambano" which means "to take, get hold of or to receive".
These words are quite different and after a bit of research into the use of the words in the NT, I could not find any places where the meanings matched or could be used interchangeably.

Expertise
I can answer questions concerning the translating of specific words and translations of the New Testament. I can give the etemology of Greek words, primarily in the Koine Greek, but also in Classical Greek. I can also give explanations of much of the Bible having read it many times and written many Bible studies.
Experience
I studied Greek in earning my BA at a university and my DTh. and MDiv. at an accredited seminary. I was a diviity student at both the university and seminary, spending most of those eight years studying the Bible.
