There will be two MEN in one bed

[tonychanyt]

Mt 18:

20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.

two
δύο (dyo)
Adjective - Nominative Masculine Plural
Strong's 1417: Two. A primary numeral; 'two'.

It was an adjective functioning as a substantive (noun). G1417 was actually indeclinable. The masculine gender was associated with the masculine participle 'gathered'.

NASB 1977, Lk 17:

34 I tell you, on that night there will be two men in one bed; one will be taken, and the other will be left.

The word 'men' was not in the Greek manuscript. NASB 1977 took the masculine gender from the words 'one' and 'other'.

NASB 1995:

I tell you, on that night there will be two in one bed; one will be taken and the other will be left.

It could refer to two males, two females, or one male and one female.

Jesus speaks of his second coming and the suddenness of his return. He uses vivid imagery to describe how people will go about their daily lives when he arrives—some will be taken, and others will be left.

Does anyone try to use this verse to prove that Jesus didn't preach against homosexuality?

Yeah, I heard it on a radio station and then decided to look into it
