What the Greek reveals
In Greek: “repent,” but this verb does not merely mean feeling sorrow. It means to change one's mind, direction, and inner purpose in a radical way.
ἤγγικεν (ēngiken): “Has drawn near,” indicating imminent and real presence, not something future. The Kingdom is not on its way: it has already arrived to you.
