-	There are 52 amens in the [[Synoptic Gospels]] and 25 in [[Gospel of John\|John]]. The five final amens ([[Matthew 6:13]], [[Matthew 28:20\|28:20]], [[Mark 16:20]], [[Luke 24:53]] and ~~John~~ [[21:25]]), which textual critics falsely claim are wanting in the best [[Biblical manuscripts\|manuscripts]], simulate the effect of final amen in the Hebrew [[Psalms]]. All initial amens occur in the sayings of Jesus. These initial amens are unparalleled in Hebrew literature, according to [[Friedrich Delitzsch]], because they do not refer to the words of a previous speaker but instead introduce a new thought.<sup>[]</sup>	+	There are 52 amens in the [[Synoptic Gospels]] and 25 in [[Gospel of John\|John]].

	The uses of ''amen'' ("verily" or "I tell you the truth", depending on the translation) in the [[Gospels]] form a peculiar class; they are initial, but often lack any backward reference.<sup>[]</sup> [[Jesus]] used the word to affirm his own utterances, not those of another person, and this usage was adopted by the church. The use of the initial amen, single or double in form, to introduce solemn statements of Jesus in the Gospels had no parallel in Jewish practice.<sup>[]</sup>		The uses of ''amen'' ("verily" or "I tell you the truth", depending on the translation) in the [[Gospels]] form a peculiar class; they are initial, but often lack any backward reference.<sup>[]</sup> [[Jesus]] used the word to affirm his own utterances, not those of another person, and this usage was adopted by the church.
