In Luke 24:25, Jesus laments those “foolish and slow of heart to believe in all the things the prophets have spoken.” And Luke, who was apparently a physician and who was of course the one doing the quoting, writes in Greek “bradeis ti cardia” for “slow of heart” — quite close to “bradycardia,” the medical term now used for a chronically slow heartbeat (it runs in my family, as it turns out). I just thought this was amusing and so I’m sharing it. I’ll try to be more profound in my next post.
