It is to explain the meaning of a word. Matthew, the writer of the first Gospel account does this. An actor interprets the words on the page of the script. An interpreter is a person who interprets words, ideas, events, even life itself. Today, we celebrate interpreters in our lives.
Parents are interpreters to their children.
Teachers are interpreters to the students. Actors are interpreters to their audiences. Physicians are interpreters to their patients. In Greek mythology, Hermes, son of Zeus, was the messenger of the gods. He was the god of speech.
