It is also possible that John might have been following a basic convention mentioned by Eleanor Dickey in “Composition and Analysis of Greek Prose”: “Greek does not use the article with a few idiosyncratic words that, because they refer to something u…

Greg, ἄγγελον and Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν at the end of Gal. 4:14 refer to Paul, not the Galatians — just saying, because your translation seems to lean toward the latter. Also, πειρασμός can mean not really “temptation” but some fortitude-straining hardship (…

The whole sentence (which you should have quoted in full) isοὐ γὰρ ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα μὴ δυνάμενον συμπαθῆσαι ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν, πεπειρασμένον δὲ κατὰ πάντα καθ’ ὁμοιότητα χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας.There’s only one present participle here, δυνάμενον, and in no w…

ἵνα τί με ἐγκατέλιπεςWhy is this hina clause not in subjunctive mood?
The ἵνα clause has no verb. It’s just ἵνα τί. You could think of it as “You abandoned me in order to what?” if it helps you to English it differently.
Exactly. Consider the ‘subjunctive’ to be inside the τί, as if to say “in order that [it would be] what?’
