Spear:
primarily "a spearhead," then, "a lance or spear," occurs in Jhn 19:34; some texts have it in Mat 27:49. As to Jhn 19:29, there is an old conjecture, mentioned by Field (Notes on the Trans. of the NT), to the effect that the sponge was put on a spear (hussos, "a javelin," the Roman pilum, instead of hussopos, "hyssop").
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
