Thanks for that. I need to have more thinking. Would you suggest that it could mean “force” the way some translations render it?I should clarify my argument; I’m not suggesting it is “more accurate” translation. It is prophetic language after all. I…
The Greek parallel that comes to mind for me is: “καὶ κατὰ γῆν καὶ κατὰ θάλατταν”. But the double-καί is necessary there.I see that when quoting these verses, many of the Greek writers like to drop the second ἀνὰ μέσον.For example, the non-Semitic Jul…
I got the above from the digitalized version in TLG, but you can see it on page 686 in the original Migne volume on the lower right of the page.Notice the [Sp.] in my citation. It is from the Spuria section of the Chrysostom volume. See page 675 for a…
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…
That particular story is original with Matthew, I suspect, and the usage of δηνάριον in Mark would be sufficient to explain Matthew’s word choices, as Matthew is trying to both retell and imitate Mark. Besides, Matthew is writing late, after the 70 A….
Troy also had a Citadel Homer, Odyssey 1.1 Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον, ὃς μάλα πολλὰπλάγχθη, ἐπεὶ Τροίης ἱερὸν πτολίεθρον…
Ah, thank you. I tried to find a little bit about him, but I was silly enough to think that Innsbruck was German, not Austrian.As I said, I liked his discussion best by far, though that Luke 23:31 citation remains very puzzling. Surely no one interpre…
οτι is not originally present in Sinaiticus, but is added as a correction up above the line (in 56).Both verses in Hebrew start out with the feminine demonstrative, and the Greek seem to be keeping the gender for that reason. Robert Alter translates 5…
Could someone inform me, when the roman coin denarion actual reached the egyptian and palestine/judean territories? Besides the NT-witnesses (16x) there is just 1 Papyrus dated 25-0 BCE; all other Papyrus-witnesses date 70 CE or later.Is it plausible …
Your paraphrase eliminates the odd part. Wird man fordern is “one will demand” or “they will demand.”And it gets really strange when you have to translate that ἀπαιτεῖν, which Luther did not have in the Greek version that he was working from.Statistic…

In Greek, words are transformed depending what they do in a sentence. It’s the same word, πνεῦμα, but it has been transformed into πνεύματι following ἐν.Your links write this πνεύματι as ΠΝΙ with the line above. One of the nomina sacra again.Statistic…
Isaiah 21:1 τὸ ὅραμα τῆς ἐρήμου ὡς καταιγὶς δι᾽ ἐρήμου διέλθοι ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς φοβερὸνThe vision of the desert, as a whirlwind passing through the desert, coming from the fearful earth?The second instance of ἐρήμου is suppose to be νότου sou…
In Revelation 13:15 English (LSB) – And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.Greek – καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ δοῦναι…

This expression is from 2 Thes. 2:7. It means to be “taken out of the way,” to be “cast out,” to be “removed,” to be “exiled,” as it were. Thus we see in Revelation 12:10 that the Great Dragon (Satan) is cast out or removed from Heaven:καὶ ἤκουσα φω…
1Macc. 3:44ἠθροίσθη ἡ συναγωγὴ τοῦ εῖναι ἑτοίμους εἰς πόλεμον …..Is the use of the genitive article here “of it” denoting a neuter situation? In other words, how does TOU function here?Thanks, Dave MStatistics: Posted by WalkingWithGreek — Tue May …
