• The unique word epiousios—a quote of Jesus Christ, and contained only in
the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:11 and Luke 11:3)—is not found anywhere else
in the original scriptures of the Bible, nor anywhere else in all of ancient
Greek literature, and so its meaning relies upon linguistic parsing.It is used
solely as an adjective (Koine Greek: ἐπιούσιον) that qualifies the
accompanying word "bread" (ἄρτος, ártos).
• By tradition, the most common English language translation that comes from
it is X, though most scholars today reject this. While epioúsios is often
substituted by the word X, all of the other New Testament translations from
the original Greek phrases into X otherwise reference hēmérān, the root
word for X.
• What is the commonly used word X that comes from it?
