Hi, John 9:5 ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἔξω, φορῶν τὸν ἀκάνθινον στέφανον καὶ τὸ πορφυροῦν ἱμάτιον. καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, (who told them ? Pilatus or Jesus ?) Ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄνθρωπος. Thanks to all in advance Mario Trinchero
Let me know when my questions are tedious. I am curious about how to understand PARRHSIA in Acts, generally translated “boldness” or confidence. It seems to me, especially given 4.13, that the word conveys more that courage to speak up, that it conveys persuasiveness, rhetorical skill, knowledge, learning. Of course with speaking skills comes confidence to…
2 Peter 3:12 – PROSDOKWNTAS KAI SPEUDONTAS THN PAROUSIAN THS TOU QEOU hHMERASIs it possible to take the participles as a sort of hendiadys and PAROUSIAN as an accusative of respect and understand the sense to the effect of “with eager anticipation working diligently as regards the coming of the day of God” or such?…

Luke 2:48 “. . . your father and I” This is evidently not GS, but I’m not sure how to say exactly why. Apparently it’s over the word, KAGW, which appears to be a contraction for “and-I” Would the disqualification then be because a contraction doesn’t count as a KAI, or would it be that…
I have noticed that AFIHMI is used predominantly in the Gospels and Acts for forgive/forgave, but Paul exclusively uses CARIZOMAI (except where he quotes the LXX in Ro4:7). The spheres of meaning given in BDAG are: AFIHMI – dismiss/release someone or something from a place, release from legal or moral obligations or consequence, move away/separate…

Matthew and Luke use the adjective after DOXES, while Mark uses it after DUNAMEWS. Harmonizing the text would make it: META DUNAMEWS…
Thanks, Nikolaos. This brings up a couple more questions. 1. I can’t find γυνῆς GUNH=S at Perseus–just γυνή GUNH/, or I’d look this up myself. Is there any lexical difference between the two words–such as one carrying a more spousal implication than the other? 2. Can such a word be assumed in normal Greek writing?…
Gentlemen, After spending some time in the archives on the subject of the derivation and proper translation of the word “PAROUSIA”, I have a question regarding its derivation. Most argue it is from PAREINI (feminine present participle). Mr. Conrad (Wed. Aug.30, 1995) correctly pointed out that would be “PAROUSA” . The difficulty seems to be…

Is any body interested to work through maybe a hundred lines of this is some form or another in this thread?
Here are the first four lines that set the background for the Biblical quote (together with a few pointers that I think might be helpful):
Aratus Solensis, Phaenomena, 1-4 wrote:ἐκ Διὸς ἀρχώμεσθα, τὸν οὐδέποτ᾽ ἄνδρες ἐῶμεν
ἄρρητον: μεσταὶ δέ Διὸς πᾶσαι μὲν ἀγυιαί,
πᾶσαι δ᾽ ἀνθρώπων ἀγοραί, μεστὴ δὲ θάλασσα
καὶ λιμένες: πάντη δὲ Διὸς κεχρήμεθα πάντες.
ἀρχώμεσθα – let’s begin hortative subjunctive, ie. an invitation to join somebody in an action or endeavour that thay are undertaking or planning to undertake
τὸν … ἐάω … ἄρρητον – I let him be …, I am leaving him to be … a verb with two accusatives
ἄρρητος – not spoken of In speaking of his rapture, the Apostle uses ἄρρητος to describe what he heard in heaven – 2 Corrinthians 12:4 ὅτι ἡρπάγη εἰς τὸν παράδεισον, καὶ ἤκουσεν ἄρρητα ῥήματα, ἃ οὐκ ἐξὸν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι.
μεστός – (stuffed) full adjective + genitive of what sth is filled with. It is used in the NT and survives into Modern Greek.
ἀγοραί – markets where people mean for commerce and social interaction, or the interactions that take place
Διὸς – of Zeus the meaning is the pantheistic all pervading world-soul, rather than the fickle olympian
ἀγυιαί – streets, highways a mostly Epic word that does not survive into Modern Greek
λιμήν – harbour the word is third declension masculine. It is used three times in the New Testament. As an illustration of the Modern Greek diglossia, it survives into literary Modern Greek as λιμένας, and has developed into colloquial Modern Greek as λιμάνι.
πάντη – in every way, altogether An adverbial form. It is used by Luke in Acts 24:2-3, Κληθέντος δὲ αὐτοῦ, ἤρξατο κατηγορεῖν ὁ Τέρτυλλος λέγων, Πολλῆς εἰρήνης τυγχάνοντες διὰ σοῦ, καὶ κατορθωμάτων γινομένων τῷ ἔθνει τούτῳ διὰ τῆς σῆς προνοίας, 3 πάντῃ τε καὶ πανταχοῦ ἀποδεχόμεθα, κράτιστε Φῆλιξ, μετὰ πάσης εὐχαριστίας.
κεχρήμεθα – we long for (From LSJ χράω) in pf. κέχρημαι (with pres. sense) c. gen., desire, yearn after, the usual sense in Ep.
Any responses, translations or queries for me or the greater brains trust?
