English/Greek

I understand that it is possible that from an English equivalent of a Greek word it is possible to convert the English word into Greek to search the NT. 

Can someone outline the steps required to accomplish this?

Thanks very much.

    Try right-clicking the sort in your Bible 

    Then select the lemma entry on the left of the context menu and then run a Bible search from the right side

    Thanks for the reply. However I should have been more specific!

    I have had a paper from a friend about whether or not the last supper is an actual passover. Based on the details in the synoptic gospels my friend  suggests that it was indeed the actual passover. However the Gospel of John indicates otherwise. My friend suggests that "Passover" is a term that includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Luke 22:1 does indicate that this is correct. My friend then states that the word "chagigah" (meaning 'festival') refers to the festive meal that followed the day after the Passover meal. 

    When searching the NASB I do get "Open Facebook to 'A Translation of the Treatise Chagigah from the Babylonian Talmud'". I do not have that "treatise"

    My desire os NOT to start a theological discussion but to find out if the Greek of "chagigah" is in the NT. I am wondering if there is a way to create the Greek of "chagigah" using an English keyboard?

    g:chagigah i.e. put a g: immediately before the transliterated word. The drop down menu will offer the actual word in the Greek alphabet. Note h: for Hebrew and a: for Aramaic work as well.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    but to find out if the Greek of "chagigah" is in the NT.

    h:chagig yields a Hebrew word meaning 'to celebrate a pilgrim's feast'. The Septuagint translate that as <Lemma ~ lbs/el/ἑορτάζω>, which yields a solitary result in 1 Cor 5:8.

  • When searching the NASB I do get "Open Facebook to 'A Translation of the Treatise Chagigah from the Babylonian Talmud'". I do not have that "treatise"

    Searching Factbook for Chagigah allowed me to replicate no license for 'A Translation of the Treatise Chagigah from the Babylonian Talmud'

    Searching Mishnah and Talmud resources for Chagigah allowed me to find Hagigah milestone in the Jerusalem Talmud.

    Searching Mishnah and Talmud resources for Hagigah includes Tractates in results.

    Basic Search for first term suggested for h:hagigah חגיגה finds results, which includes Hebrew transliteration of Chagigah

    Logos/Verbum Search suggestion for synoptic gospel commentary is:

    (chagigah OR hagigah OR חגיגה) WITHIN {Milestone <Mt-Jn>}
