John 4:22
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.”
σωτηρία
From soter — saviour, the one who rescues from danger. Soteria is comprehensive — healing, wholeness, rescue, preservation. Peter stands before the council and says there is no other name. Not as arrogance. As the deepest mercy — there is one who can save, and His name is Jesus.
