Commentary

Modern Versions

Most Modern translations read “our great God and Savior Jesus Christ”.

Ankerberg and Weldon

Ankerberg and Weldon stated:

“even the context of Titus 2:13 shows that one Person, not two, was in Paul’s mind, for Paul wrote of the ‘glorious appearing’ of that Person” (Facts on Jehovah’s Witnesses, p. 24).

James White

On page 81 in the book The King James Version Controversy, by James White, he falsely claims that the KJV distorts the meaning of this verse and obscures the Deity of Christ:

"the KJV is shown to be wanting in Titus 2:13."

On page 201 he says:

“The simple fact is that the KJV provides an inferior translation, one that unintentionally detracts from the presentation of the full deity of Jesus Christ. The unwillingness of KJV defenders to overlook this fact is most disturbing.”

Granville Sharp

Granville Sharp stated:

“This testimony, therefore, of the sacred text, in favour of our Lord’s divine nature, ought not to be withheld from the mere English reader” (Remarks, p. 51).

I. M. Haldeman

I. M. Haldeman stated:

“Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit the Apostle Paul speaks of Him as ’our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ’ (correct reading) (Titus 2:13)” (Bible Expositions, I, p. 456).

A. T. Robertson

A. T. Robertson stated:

“is the necessary meaning of the one article with theou and soteros just as in 2 Peter 1:1” (Word Pictures, IV, p. 604).

William Hendriksen

William Hendriksen stated:

“No valid reason has ever been found which would show that the (Granville Sharp) rule does not apply in the present case [Titus 2:13]” (Timothy and Titus, p. 375).

Prince Hoare

Prince Hoare stated:

“the only sense in which the Greek Fathers understand that important passage, for instance, Titus 2:13, is that which is ascribed to it by Mr. Sharp” (Memoirs, I, p. 501).

Augustus Strong

Augustus Strong stated that Titus 2:13 is: “a direct, definite, and even studied declaration of Christ’s divinity” (Systematic Theology, p. 307).

James Buswell

James Buswell stated:

“It is clear from the entire New Testament that it is Christ whose glorious appearing is expected: Christ Jesus is our great God and Saviour” (Systematic Theology, p. 104). Gordon Clark noted: “The subject matter is the glorious return of our Lord. One person returns; not the Father, but the Son. Hence the great God and Jesus is the same person” (The Trinity, p. 17).

J. L. Dagg

J. L. Dagg advocated stated:

“our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ” (Manual of Theology, pp. 183-184).

Ralph Wardlaw

Ralph Wardlaw stated:

“To avoid all ambiguity, and to express the precise sense of the original, they ought to be rendered, ‘the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ” (Discourses, p. 76).


Timothy Dwigh

Timothy Dwight stated:

“In the Greek it is the Great God even our Saviour Jesus Christ, or our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ” (Theology Explained, I, p. 526).

Theodore Haak

Theodore Haak stated:

“That is, of Jesus Christ, our great God and Saviour; for both these titles are here ascribed to Jesus Christ.” (English translation of the 1637 Dutch Annotations)

H. Harvey

H. Harvey stated:

“The following context, in the relative clause (verse 14), ’who gave himself for us,’ plainly relates only to Christ, but naturally requires us to take the whole preceding expression, ’our Great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ,’ as its antecedent” (Commentary on the Pastoral Epistles, pp. 139-140).

Robert Horton

Robert Horton stated:

“The qualifying description of verse 14, which refer to Jesus Christ, completely overbalances the sentence if Christ is to be separated from ’the great God’” (Commentary p. 186).

Francis Turretin

Francis Turretin stated:

“Epiphaneia is never attributed to the Father, but always to Christ. He, whose advent we look for, is said to have given himself for us (Tit. 2:14), which applies to Christ alone” (Institutes, I, p. 284).

John Dick

John Dick who lived from 1764 to 1833 stated:

“in which the name of God is given to our Saviour, but the evidence does not appear to common readers, in consequence of the manner in which they have been translated” (Lectures on Theology, I, p. 316).

also:

“our Great God and Saviour Jesus Christ” as “a translation more conformable to the original” (p. 317).

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson observed that Theodore Beza maintained “that one person only is spoken of, namely, Jesus Christ” (New Testament, II, p. 472).

Francis Turretin

Francis Turretin, who live from 1623 to 1687) stated:

“He is called ‘the great God’ (Tit. 2:13)–certainly not the Father, but the Son because only one article is prefixed to the words God and Saviour (which would not be the case if they were two persons)” (Institutes, translated by George Giger, I, p. 284).

E. W. Bullinger

E. W. Bullinger stated:

“of our great God and Saviour” (Figures, p. 505).

also:

“hendiadys: One person being meant, not two” (p. 669).

J. H. Murray

J. H. Murray stated:

“makes it as if two persons were spoken of, the Father and the Son; where the Son only, in the original Greek, is mentioned” (Help, p. 64).

Edward Burton

Edward Burton stated:

“In our authorized version, the words certainly do not necessarily imply that our Saviour Jesus Christ is the great God; but if we were to translate them, as we are equally authorized in doing, ’the glorious appearing of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,’ it would be obvious to every reader, that the expression great God referred to Jesus Christ” (Testimonies, p. 113, 1829).
