It is often encountered in dialogues where one individual addresses another directly, typically in a questioning or declarative manner. This form is not commonly used in modern English translations, but it holds significance in understanding the nuances of biblical conversations and the cultural context of the time.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage</b><br><br>In the Bible, "sayest" is used to convey direct speech, often in the context of questioning or affirming a statement. It appears in various dialogues throughout the Scriptures, where individuals engage in discussions about faith, identity, and divine truth.<br><br><b>Examples in Scripture</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/john/18-37.htm">John 18:37</a> :</b> In the trial of Jesus before Pilate, the term is used in a significant exchange. Pilate questions Jesus about His kingship, to which Jesus responds, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I was born and have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to My voice." Here, "You say" is a modern equivalent of "sayest," indicating Pilate's acknowledgment of Jesus' royal identity, albeit with a tone of skepticism or inquiry.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/matthew/26-25.htm">Matthew 26:25</a> :</b> During the Last Supper, when Jesus predicts His betrayal, Judas Iscariot responds, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" Jesus answers, "You have said it yourself." In this context, "You have said it" reflects the use of "sayest" in older translations, highlighting Judas's indirect admission of his impending betrayal.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The use of "sayest" in biblical texts often underscores the importance of personal acknowledgment and confession. It reflects the weight of spoken words in affirming or denying truth, particularly in matters of faith and identity. The dialogues where "sayest" appears frequently involve critical moments of decision or revelation, where individuals are confronted with the reality of their beliefs and actions.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context</b><br><br>Understanding the use of "sayest" requires an appreciation of the historical and linguistic context of the Bible. During the time of the King James Version and other early English translations, such language was common and reflected the formal speech patterns of the era. The use of "sayest" and similar forms helped convey the gravity and solemnity of biblical discourse, emphasizing the personal nature of the interactions between God, Jesus, and individuals.<br><br><b>Relevance for Today</b><br><br>While "sayest" is not used in contemporary translations like the Berean Standard Bible, its presence in older versions serves as a reminder of the enduring power of words and the importance of personal engagement with Scripture. It challenges readers to consider their own responses to divine truth and the implications of their spoken affirmations or denials in their spiritual journey.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SAYEST</span><p>sa'-est: "Thou sayest" (<a href="/matthew/27-11.htm">Matthew 27:11</a> <a href="/mark/15-2.htm">Mark 15:2</a> <a href="/luke/22-70.htm">Luke 22:70</a>, "Ye say"; <a href="/john/18-37.htm">John 18:37</a>), i.e. rightly; "Thou hast said" (<a href="/matthew/26-25.htm">Matthew 26:25, 64</a>), = "Yes"; a rabbinical idiom never found in the Old Testament. <a href="/mark/14-62.htm">Mark 14:62</a> renders by "I am."
