The Greek word, such as that found at Matthew 20: 28, was used particularly to refer to the price paid to ransom prisoners of war or to release slaves.
( Psalms 78: 38.) Savukārt grieķu valodas vārds, kas atrodams Mateja 20: 28 un citos pantos, tika lietots, runājot par karagūstekņu un vergu izpirkšanu.
