I noticed 2 different Greek words for "bodies" and "carcasses/corpse" in the NT.
Verses with "bodies" and "carcasses" in them..........
Matthew uses G4430
4430. ptoma pto'-mah from the alternate of 4098; a ruin, i.e. (specially), lifeless body (corpse, carrion):--dead body, carcase, corpse.
Matthew 24:28
for wherever the corpse<4430> may be, there shall the eagles/vultures<105> be gathered together.
It is used in 3 other verses......
The body of John the Baptist in Mark 6, and bodies of 2 witnesses in Revelation 11.
Mark 6:
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
29 And when is disciples heard of it, they came
and took up His corpse, G4430 and laid it in a tomb.
Why Jerusalem is Mystically Called Sodom and Egypt
Revelation 11:
8 And their dead corpses G4430 shall lie in the street<4113> of the great City, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their corpses G4430 three days and an half, and shall not suffer their corpses G4430 to be put in a tomb<3418>
Luke uses G4983
4983. soma so'-mah from 4982; the body (as a sound whole), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively:--bodily, body, slave
Luke 17:37
And they answering say to him, 'Where, sir?'
and He saith to them, 'Where the body<4983> is, there will the eagles/vultures<105> be gathered together.'
Which is used in 1 verse of Revelation concerning the destruction of the "Great City/Harlot/Queen"
Revelation 18:13
and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil,
and fine flour, and wheat,
and cattle, and sheep,
and of horses, and of chariots,
and of bodies<4983> and souls<5590> of men.
