Note, moreover, that although you can call it a passive in the sensethat it has “passive deponent” forms in the aorist, this is hardly passive;the verb is middle MIMNHSKOMAI; I would simply say that the -QH- formssupply the aorist and future of this middle-voice verb. “He has helpfullytaken hold of his child Israel, so as to recollect once again (his)compassion (for Israel).”(2) MIMNHSKOMAI is one of those verbs of mental activity that take a directobject (or “direct complement,” if you prefer that language) in thegenitive. It’s actually a partitive genitive originally: “make recollectionof …” The sense will be, I think, “to recollect once again (his)compassion”Carl W.

Hellenistic / Patristic Greek texts on the web? Luke 5:4 At the start of Luke 5:4 we readhWS DE EPAUSATO LALWN,…. My question is this. Should we read this as”As he was speaking, he stoppedro asAs he stopped speaking?Is there any grammatical rule that would dictate whichit should be? Also, if the latter translation iscorect, what kind of construction is the verb +participle, with no other modifiers or anything elseseparating them or connecting them? For Carl’sbenefit, I’m not contending this is bad Greek. Itseems that long ago I posted something about aconstruction that seemed bizarre to me and foreverafter, it seems I’m doomed to be perceived as beingsuspicous of the grammar. I’m actually come to holdthe exact opposite position, and am guessing that justas modern U.S. culture does completely bogusgrammatical constructions like “it’s this way, not,”Greek writers probably felt liberty to do whateverthey wished to do as well. I simply want some rule ofthumb to understand the construction. Thanks.Ken__________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Spot the hottest trends in music, movies, and more.http://buzz.yahoo.com/

I simply want some rule of>thumb to understand the construction. Thanks.Ken, this falls into a category of what I learned and have taught as the”supplementary” use of a participle with a verb that functions as anauxiliary of sorts. In Classical Attic, a few such common verbs areTUGCANW, FQANW, KINDUNEUOMAI, FAINOMAI, ARCOMAI (‘begin’), PAUOMAI. Youneed to look at in the grammar books under participial usage.Here I’d understand hWS DE EPAUSATO LALWN as “And when he had finishedspeaking … (lit. ‘ceased speaking’)”You might check out Smyth at Perseus, ##2094ff on “The SupplementaryParticiple”. Wallace (GGBB) has a discussion of what he prefers to call”Complementary Participle” (but it’s the same thing) on page 646 {I’m nottransliterating the Greek; I know it will appear as gobbledygook, but youcan check the Greek text for yourself):=================================4. Complementarya. DefinitionThe complementary participle completes the thought of another verb.It is especially used in combination with a verb suggesting a consummative(e.g., “stop” [pau/w]) or sometimes a progressive (e.g., “continue”[e™pime÷nw]) idea.81 The idiom is rare in the NT.b.
