ὑγρός G5200
green, moist, fresh, not dried or withered
In Luke 23:31, Jesus asks, 'If they do these things in the green tree, what will happen in the dry?' The proverb contrasts green wood (living, moist, hard to burn) with dry wood (dead, combustible, ready for fire). If innocent Jesus suffers this way—the green tree—how much worse will judgment fall on guilty Jerusalem—the dry tree? The imagery draws on common agricultural observation: green wood resists fire, while dry wood catches easily. Jesus uses this natural contrast to warn of coming judgment on a spiritually dead nation.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Jesus employs this proverbial imagery on the way to crucifixion, contrasting his own innocence (green wood) with Jerusalem's guilt (dry wood). The multilingual glosses—Spanish 'verde', French 'vert', German preserving the Greek—all indicate living, moist vegetation. The saying assumes common knowledge: green wood contains moisture that resists burning, while dry wood ignites quickly. If such suffering befalls the innocent one, what judgment awaits the guilty? The term grounds Jesus' prophetic warning in observable nature, making the spiritual principle vivid and inescapable. 1×
