Matthew 11:29 Study Tee
Meekness is not weakness. It is power restrained.
The word translated “meek” or “gentle” in Matthew 11:29 comes from the Greek word πραΰς (praus). It carries the meaning of gentle, mild, controlled strength, power under restraint. It was used of a strong animal that had been trained strength under discipline.
When Jesus says, “I am gentle and lowly in heart,” He reveals that the King of glory carries authority without harshness. His strength is never insecure. It is perfectly governed.
This Study Tee presents the English truth clearly while grounding it in the original Greek meaning. It reminds the believer that biblical meekness is disciplined strength, not passivity.
