**Hyperbole**: This is a figure of speech that uses **exaggeration**. A speaker deliberately describes something by an extreme or even unreal statement, usually to show his strong feeling or opinion about it. He expects people to understand that he is exaggerating.

Even though a generalization may have a strong-sounding word like "all," "always," "none," or "never," it does not necessarliy mean **exactly** "all," "always," "none," or "never." It simply means "most, "most of the time," "hardly any" or "rarely."

#### Examples of Exaggeration

|
||||
>If your hand causes you to stumble, <u>cut it off</u>. It is better for you to enter into life maimed ... (Mark 9:43 ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
When Jesus said to cut off your hand, he meant that we should <u>do whatever extreme things</u> we need to do in order not to sin. He used this hyperbole to show how extremely important it is to try to stop sinning.

>The Philistines gathered together to fight against Israel: thirty thousand chariots, six thousand men to drive the chariots, and troops <u>as numerous as the sand on the seashore</u>. (1 Samuel 13:5 ULB)

The underlined phrase is an exaggeration. It means that there were <u>many, many</u> soldiers in the Philistine army.

The disciples told Jesus that everyone was looking looking for him. They probably did not mean that everyone in the city was looking for him, but that <u>many people</u> were looking for him, or that all of Jesus' closest friends there were looking for him.
|

|

>But as his anointing teaches you about <u>all things</u> and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, remain in him. (1 John 2:27 ULB)
|
||||
>But as his anointing teaches you <u>everything</u> and is true and is not a lie ... (1 John 2:27 ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a generalization. God's Spirit teaches us about <u>all things that we need to know</u>, not about everything that is possible to know.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Caution
|
||||
|
||||
Do not assume that something is an exaggeration just because it seems to be impossible. God does miraculous things.
|
||||
>... they saw Jesus <u>walking on the sea</u> and coming near the boat. (John 6:19 ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
>... they saw Jesus <u>walking on the sea</u> ... (John 6:19 ULB)
|
||||
|
||||
This is not hyperbole. Jesus really walked on the water. It is a literal statement.
|
||||
|
||||
Do not assume that the word "all" is always a generalization that means "most."

Yahweh is always righteous. This is a completely true statement.
