So we can see from this little study that when James White says emphatically, "The Greek term simply does not mean "observe" but instead means "to protect", he is merely giving us his own personal opinion, not hard facts. Others of equal or superior learning disagree with Mr. White's conclusions.

Commentary

"observed" or "protected"

The 1611 King James Version has the reading "observed" with the footnote "or, kept him or saved him". The Oxford English Dictionary has the meaning of "observe" as "to guard, keep".[1]

The KJV 2016 edition has the word "protected", which means to be preserved from harm. Although some may protest and claim "protected" is a fond nurturing concept, but many times to protect, does not involve such emotions. A police officer may "serve and protect" people he dislikes. A "protectorate" for example, may be a country unliked by the controlling nation, or a "witness protection program" may protect criminals etc.

James White

James White in the book The King James Only Controversy makes the false claim that:

"The Greek term simply does not mean "observe" but instead means "to protect". One might possibly suggest that observe once meant "to protect," but such seems a long stretch, especially since the KJV renders the same word preserve at Matthew 9:17 and Luke 5:38. A similar less-than-perfect translation is found at Mark 9:18.

Firstly, it is obvious that White is anachronistically placing a modern definition onto a 400 year old word here. He completely fails to say where he got his information from for claiming that "but such seems a long stretch", except for his own imagination. Even the KJV footnote offers a clarifying "or, kept him or saved him".

Secondly, while he claims "The Greek term simply does not mean "observe", the Greek συντηρέω (soon-tay-reh'-o) means exactly that. The English is from the Middle French observer, from Old French, from Latin observare (“to watch, note, mark, heed, guard, keep, pay attention to, regard, comply with, etc.”), from ob (“before”) + servare (“to keep”), from Proto-Indo-European *serw- (“to guard”). Cognate with Gothic 𐍃𐌰𐍂𐍅𐌰 (sarwa, “weapons, armour”), Old English searu (“device, design, contrivance, art, cunning, craft, artifice, wile, deceit, stratagem, ambush, treachery, plot, trick, snare, ambuscade, cleverness, machine, engine, fabric, armor, equipment, arms”).[2] So basically Observe is from: ob "in front of, before" (see ob-) + servare "to watch, keep safe."

The Greek verb συντηρέω if from 4862 συν/soon, "closely together with" and 5083 τηρέω/tay-reh'-o, "to guard, keep"). It means to keep intact or keep safe. Even Bill Mounce has:

to keep safe and sound, Mt. 9:17; to observe strictly, or, to secure from harm, protect, Mk. 6:20; to preserve in memory, keep carefully in mind, Lk. 2:19*[3]

Beza in his 1598 Latin has "& observabat eum". The Latin observo means:

I guard, keep watch over.. I heed, regard, respect.. I notice, perceive.. I observe, watch.. I pay attention to.[4]

Perhaps James White could do a lazy 2 minute google search or sloppily grab a dictionary off the shelf before placing doubt over the words of holy scripture because what his mind erroneously thinks is an error.

OBSERVED

Mark 6:20 King James Bible - "For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and a holy, and OBSERVED HIM; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly."

James White criticizes the rendering of this verse in the KJB in his book The King James Only Controversy. In chapter 9 titled Problems in the KJV on page 224 Mr. White begins a whole series of objections to various King James readings. He starts off by saying: "Well Nobody is Perfect. The men who worked on the translation of the AV nearly four hundred years ago were great scholars. No one can possibly dispute that fact." Well, James, if this is so, then why do you spend 19 pages in this chapter trying to show how they completely dropped the ball and committed many unpardonable errors in their translation? And if they were "great scholars" as you say, and you place yourself in an assumed position to correct their many errors, then what does that make You? The Greatest scholar? James continues: "BUT all great scholars know their limitations. They recognize their fallibility. And I really doubt they would take the slightest offense to a reasoned critique of their work. The first problem we will examine is to be found in Mark's gospel, chapter 6, verse 20: KJV "For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and OBSERVED him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly."

NASB (NKJV, NIV, ESV) "for Herod was afraid of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and KEPT HIM SAFE. And when he heard him, he was very perplexed; but he used to enjoy listening to him."

Mr. White continues: "Did Herod "observe" John, as the KJV says, or "keep him safe," as the NASB says? The Greek term simply does not mean "observe" but instead means "to protect." One might possibly suggest that "observe" once meant "to protect", but such seems a long stretch, especially since the KJV renders the same word "preserve" at Matthew 9:17 and Luke 5:38." Now, to address Mr. White's scholarly criticism.

The verb used here is sunteereo and is found only four times in the New Testament. Twice it is used in the sense of "putting new wine into new bottles and both are PRESERVED." Once it is used in Luke 2:19 where we are told: "But Mary KEPT all these things, and pondered them in her heart." The fourth instance is here in Mark where the KJB says Herod OBSERVED him. Even the NASB give three different renderings to this single verb - "kept safe", "preserved" and "treasured".

All words in both Hebrew and Greek often have multiple meanings depending on the context in which they are used. According to various lexicons and other translations, the KJB reading of "observed him" is totally accurate. Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon, the seventeenth edition 1887 on page 680 lists the verb sunteereo and gives the following meanings. Number one on their list is "to watch closely"; then they list "to preserve, keep safe; and "to keep in mind". It also can mean "to watch one's opportunity". Likewise A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, by William F. Arndt and F. Wilbur Gingrich, on page 800 lists among the various meanings of this verb: "to keep in mind, to be concerned about", and "to hold or treasure up in one's memory". Joseph Henry Thayer's Lexicon the 19th printing 1978 also lists on page 606 one of the meanings of this verb as: "to keep a thing in mind (lest it be forgotten)".

Kittle's massive work, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, Volume VIII page 143 also describes the verb teereo and its cognates as having the meaning of "to take note of", and "to observe". Moulton, The Analytical Greek Lexicon Revised, 1978,. page 392, has "to observe strictly" as a translation. The verb sunteereo can have the meaning of to keep something together in the mind, and thus mean "to observe" something or someone. There are many similar verbs found in the New Testament that all versions translate with the idea of holding something in the mind. See for example Luke 14:1 "they watched him" (parateereo); 1 Corinthians 15:2 "if ye keep in memory" (kateko), and John 1:5, and Ephesians 3:18 "to comprehend" (katalambano).

Not only does the King James Bible say that Herod OBSERVED HIM, but so also do the Primitive New Testament 1745, Webster's 1833 translation and the 1865 American Bible Union N.T. of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Many others give a similar meaning. Tyndale, Bishops' Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible say: "Herod gave him reverence". Thomas Howels 1795 A Translation from the Original Greek says: "paid great attention to him", Noyes Translation 1869 says "was regardful of him". Darby gives the marginal reading of "observed him". The Italian Diodati 1649 version says Herod " l' osservava" - observed him. Likewise the Italian Bible called Conferenza Episcopale says: "perché Erode temeva Giovanni, sapendolo giusto e santo, e vigilava su di lui". = But Herod feared John, knowing he was just and holy and he observed (or watched) him. The French Ostervald 1996 “un homme juste et saint; il le considérait” - he was a just man and holy and he considered him”, French Martin 1744 - “et il avait du respect pour lui” and he had respect for him”; and the Spanish Sagradas Escrituras of 1569, the Reina Valera 1858 and 1909 say "le tenía respeto"- he had respect unto him. James Murdock's 1858 translation of the Syriac Peshitta reads: "For Herod was afraid of John, because he knew him to be a just and holy man: and HE OBSERVED HIM, and gave ear to him in many things and did the things, and he heard him with satisfaction. Matthew Henry comments on this passage: "He observed him; he sheltered him from the malice of his enemies (so some understand it); or, rather, he had a regard to his exemplary conversation, and took notice of that in him that was praiseworthy, and commended it in the hearing of those about him; he made it appear that he observed what John said and did."

Here Matthew Henry recognizes the alternative understanding of the passage, but he favors the rendering as found in the King James Bible. Likewise John Gill comments: "and observed him: or "kept him" in custody, in prison, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic render it; and did not put him to death, but preserved him from the designs of Herodias against him. Or he observed and took notice of what he had heard him say in his ministry; he laid it up, and kept it in his mind, and memory; the remembrance of which kept him in awe, and he durst not, and could not for the present, give heed to the solicitations of Herodias, or suffer her to take away his life: and he also observed his exemplary life and conversation, which was so just and upright, that his conscience would not admit him to give him up to her will and pleasure." So we can see from this little study that when James White says emphatically, "The Greek term simply does not mean "observe" but instead means "to protect", he is merely giving us his own personal opinion, not hard facts. Others of equal or superior learning disagree with Mr. White's conclusions.

Observe

observe late 14c., "to hold to" (a manner of life or course of conduct), from O.Fr. observer, from L. observare "watch over, look to, attend to, guard," from ob "over" (see ob-) + servare "to watch, keep safe," from PIE base *ser- "to protect." Meaning "to attend to in practice, to keep, follow" is attested from late 14c. Sense of "watch, perceive, notice" is 1560s, via notion of "see and note omens." Meaning "to say by way of remark" is from c.1600.
