In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. The New International Version translates the passage as: Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him.
Based on this verse the dove has long been a symbol for the Holy Spirit in Christian art. France notes that the wording in Matthew is vague, the Spirit could be descending in the shape of a dove or it could be descending in the manner of the dove. Luke is explicit that it is in the shape of a dove, and most readers accept this meaning. [2]
In September 2004, Dove began its Campaign for Real Beauty, followed by the creation of the Dove Self-Esteem Project in 2006, by Geyner Andres Gaona and Amy. The campaign has been criticized as hypocritical in light of the highly sexualized images of women presented in the advertising of Axe, which, like Dove, is produced by Unilever. [4] [5]
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. The New International Version translates the passage as: I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
The sign of the dove is recorded in the Book of Mormon: 1 Nephi 11:27: abide upon him in the form of a dove. 2 Nephi 31:8 (Doctrine and Covenants 93:15): Holy Ghost descended upon him in the form of a dove. Book of Abraham, Facsimile 2, Fig. 7 is a sign of the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove.
Fasting (verses 16–18) is Jesus' third example of 'pious deeds', [1] after almsgiving (verses 2–4) and prayer (verses 5–6). [2] The previous verse attacked how the hypocrites made a show of fasting and made everyone around them aware of their pious suffering. In this verse Jesus counsels his followers to hide any discomfort.
