κνᾰφ-εύς G1102
Fuller, launderer, cloth-cleaner
A professional who bleaches and cleans cloth, making garments brilliantly white. Mark 9:3 uses this term in describing Jesus's transfiguration, saying his clothes became dazzling white, whiter than any fuller on earth could bleach them. This comparison to the best professional whitening available emphasizes the supernatural radiance of Christ's garments, surpassing anything humanly achievable through the most skilled labor.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Denotes a craftsman who professionally cleans and whitens cloth. The multilingual glosses (Spanish 'lavador', French 'foulon', German 'Walker') all reference this textile trade. Mark 9:3 invokes the fuller as the ultimate standard for whiteness in the ancient world, someone who used various processes to bleach fabric to its maximum brightness, then declares that even this expert's best work falls short of the supernatural brilliance of Jesus's transfigured appearance. 1×
