SIR

sur: In the Old Testament this word in Genesis 43:20 the King James Version ('adhon) is changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "my lord." In the New Testament the word sometimes represents aner, as in Acts 7:26; Acts 14:15; Acts 19:25, etc.; more frequently kurios, "lord," as in Matthew 13:27; Matthew 21:30; Matthew 27:36 John 4:11, 15, 19, 49 (the Revised Version margin "lord"); John 20:15. In Revelation 7:14, the Revised Version (British and American) renders "my lord."
