Definition: The phrase "all-admired" in English refers to being highly appreciated or loved by others. It may also be used figuratively as a metaphor for being universally admired or revered.
In the context of Bible verses, it is often associated with Christ's reputation and admiration among His followers. The passage where this concept is highlighted is Mark 10:47-49:
"Then they came to Jesus and said, 'Lord, excuse me while we speak.' He said, "Who did it?" They answered, "A man of Israel."
Jesus replied, "Where then did he get his authority? Was not John the Baptist his predecessor?" They answered, "Yes, but a prophet." Jesus replied, "And where is he now? Is it as you say that he has been sent to guide us?"
Mark 10:47-49 continues:
"Then they came to Jesus and said, 'Lord, excuse me while we speak.' He said, "Who did it?" They answered, "A man of Israel."
Jesus replied, "Where then did he get his authority? Was not John the Baptist his predecessor?" They answered, "Yes, but a prophet." Jesus replied, "And where is he now? Is it as you say that he has been sent to guide us?"
So in this verse, Jesus was referring to someone who had previously held leadership positions within His community and thereby gained recognition and respect among them. This person was also known as "a man of Israel," which means a skilled leader or prophet who was recognized by others.
The phrase "all-admired" is a figurative way of saying that the person has earned or been widely acknowledged for their leadership qualities or accomplishments, much like how Christ's followers viewed Him. The metaphor here involves praise and recognition from His disciples as well as other communities around them.
