መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ኢየሱስ ቤዛ መሆኑን ይናገራል (በጥንታዊው የመቤ senseት ስሜት-ይለቀቁ ፣ በነፃ ይግዙ) ለእኛ ፣ ግን ቤዛው ለተለየ ባለስልጣን አልተከፈለም - እኛን ለማስለቀቅ በማይታመን ሁኔታ ከፍተኛ ዋጋ እንደከፈለው ግልፅ ለማድረግ የሚፈልግ ምሳሌያዊ ሐረግ ነው ።
The Bible does say that Jesus ransom (in the old sense of redemption: release, buy free) for us, but the ransom has not been paid to any specific entity - it is a figurative phrase that wants to make it clear that it cost him an incredibly high price to free us .
