The [[Transmissions]] placed on Bungie's website before the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' made several references to biblical lines or concepts. For example Cortana states that "He says I came not to send peace but a sword ..." which is a reference to Jesus' famous statement in Matthew 10:34: the line "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword".<ref>http://bible.cc/matthew/10-34.htm</ref> This reinforces the comparison of John and biblical figures such as Jesus. | The [[Transmissions]] placed on Bungie's website before the release of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' made several references to biblical lines or concepts.

Interestingly, the [[Spartan Laser]]'s full name contains a biblical reference. In the name W/AV Model 6 Galilean/Grindell Nonlinear Rifle, the word Galilean might not in fact refer to Galileo, but to [[Wikipedia:Galilee|Galilee]], the region where Jesus lived for thirty years in what is now Israel. | |||
