What Does “Corn Of Wheat” Mean in the Bible?
In the King James Bible, “Corn Of Wheat” means “grain of wheat” in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.
What Was Lost
The incarnational metaphor at its most compressed. A single corn of wheat -- one tiny grain -- falls into the earth and dies, and from that death comes abundance. The smallness of a 'corn' (a single grain) made the miracle vivid: something this tiny, dying, produces this much life. Jesus was the corn of wheat.
