ἐπίσταμαι and ἐφίστημι are different, strange though it is. You may wish to check the first in your dictionary.I’ll take a look for any examples that seem to distinguish between reading and writing for ἐπίσταμαι, though I’d be pretty surprised to find…
Well, yes. More specifically, in such documents I don’t think there’s any difference between επιστασθαι and ειδεναι. His “not knowing letters” just means he ’s illiterate, can neither read nor write. The two went together in the education system. They…

The INTF and the IGNTP both have a lot of manuscript-transcriptions, but it is not possible on their Websites to search a specific reading in all transcriptions.So I collected all available Transcripts of both institutes and built a kind of raw databa…
Here’s my translation of 2Th 2:1-12, with some notes. It makes a bit more sense to me now than the last time I looked at it. Hopefully it will make even more sense the next time I run across it, however many years from now. But who knows?Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑ…
Having looked at the Tauchnitz New Testament that MacDonald mentions, I think that one possibility is that he means Matthew 17:21 and Mark 9:29. Matthew 17:21: “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”The apparatus lists S*V as omit…
In the light of the decision of almost every Bible translator, past and present, to go for the passive voice in English in this verse (Luke 12:20), it would be easy to assume that Luke’s use of the 3rd person plural with the verb in the active voice m…
You are right, it’s not an impersonal subject but an indefinit subject (Duden 4: Grammatik).But I think Luthers Translation isn’t odd:(my Paraphrase:)“Your soul will be taken tonight, and you are worrying about your possessions?”Statistics: Posted by …
