Definition: The word "aggrandizing" in the King James Version (KJV) comes from Greek and means to show great importance or esteem. It describes something that has been given a great, unearned, or exaggerated value. In the context of the Bible, it refers to actions, speeches, or statements that are overly ostentatious or arrogant. The word is used metaphorically to describe someone who displays a great deal of pomp and showmanship in a way that makes others look down on them. It's not often associated with humility or modesty. For example, when Jesus says, "I have come as it may be written," he is aggrandizing the power and authority that he has been given by God for his mission to save souls. This kind of statement can be used to show someone's greatness without them actually being humble in their actions or words.
