Semantic domains 2 entries
- Mark, scar33.481
- The noun names a mark branded or incised on the body, here as a mark of ownership or allegiance. Paul writes, “Let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6:17).
- Scar, brand8.55
- The same noun, in the same verse, also carries the more specifically physical nuance of a scar left by suffering—since this is the lexeme's only tagged occurrence, the same phrase pictures both a mark of ownership and a scar borne in the body. Paul continues, “I bear on my body the marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6:17).
