In this case, the use of the possessive as in theNRSV’s “So they signaled their partners” is governedby English’s idiomatic considerations, not Greek’s.For exmaple, the AV puts the “their” in italics,signaling that it was added to complete the sense ofthe Greek but not literally present.>2.

Is it “to, afterhaving>come, help” or “to come and help”?It is a circumstantial participle, and its precisenuance has to be gleaned from the context. As atranslation, “come and help” is nice and idiomatic.>3. Why is this followed by a dative, not an>accusative?When SULLAMBANW means “to help out, aid,” theperson being helped takes the dative and theactivity in which the help is given, if expressed,takes the accusative.

Luke 5:7 Luke 5:7 Thanks Carl and others for your reply. I’m sorryabout the typo. I got one response off-listsuggesting that ELQONTAS was simply the accusativesubject of the infinitive. All the other responsessee it as circumstantial or the like, and I wouldn’texpect to see the accusative subject between thearticle and infinitive. . Could this be construedthat way, as the accusative subject? Since it isdescribing what Simon signalled, as opposed ot whatJOhn and James did, I wouldn’t think so.

Thanks.I wouldn’t call ELQONTAS the acc. subject of the infinitive but rather acircumstantial participle governing the IMPLICIT subject accusative of theinfinitive (if it were expresed, it would presumably be AUTOUS–but one ofthe most awkward features of Hellenistic Greek is the number offree-floating forms of AUTOS/H/ON for which one must sometimes make purestabs in the dark to be sure what the antecedent is–although that’s notreally a problem here).– Carl W.

[] Luke 5:7a: “TOU ELQONTAS” [] Luke 5:7a: “TOU ELQONTAS” Andrew –I’m hazarding a guess here since Greek word order is not always the way itwould be in English. Probably the TOU does not go with the ELQONTAS but withthe infinitive of purpose, TOU … SULLABESAI. The accusativeparticiple, ELQONTAS , seems to be acting more like a direct object to themain verb (KATENEUSAN), but others on the list can be more explicit as tothe function it is performing.Sarah ><>Marylandsarah.r.madden at gmail.comOn Thu, Mar 12, 2009 at 4:48 AM, ajb1212 at ono.com <ajb1212 at ono.com> wrote:> “KAI KATENEUSAN TOIS METOCOIS EN TWi hETERWi PLOIWi TOU ELQONTAS> SULLABESQAI AUTOIS” (Luke 5:7a).> > I take it that “TOU ELQONTAS” is purpose or a sort of indirect> imperative.

Is that correct? Why the accusative after “TOU”? Can> someone point me to other GNT examples of this?TOY goes with SYLLABESQAI and accusativeELQONTAS is the doer of SYLLABESQAI. Infinitives can always haveaccusative ‘adjuncts’.In this case, the ‘coming’ has been ‘demoted’ into participle formso that SYLLABESQAI has a natural prominencebetween the two verbal ideas.In addition, the aorist participle implies a progressionof first ELQEIN then SYLLABESQAI, just like when participles areused with finite verbs.for example, if these were finite verbs:ELQONTES SYNELABON ‘having come they joined the project’could be rewritten asHLQON KAI SYNELABON.The same relationship happens with infinitives.One could have upgraded ELQONTAS into an infinitive and producedTOY ELQEIN [AYTOYS] KAI SYLLABESQAI AYTOISThe accusative AYTOYS is optional in this rewrite since the doer isknown from the immediate context. I added it for you to seeanother accusative with the infinitive(s).These structures are basic to Greek and are a model for how you willwant to be writing [or speaking 
] yourself. E.g.John 1:48PRO TOY SE FILIPON FWNHSAI ‘before the calling in reference to you and Phillip’= ‘before Phillip called you'(it is from context we learn that the accusative SE ‘you’ is thepatient/undergoerand accusative Phillip is the doer of the infinitive ‘to call’. Thegenitive TOY is usedmerely to linnk the infinitive with the preposition here. In yourfirst example Lk 5.7the TOY was used with the infinitive to express purpose/intention.)ERRWSORandall Buth– Randall Buth, PhDwww.biblicalulpan.orgrandallbuth at gmail.comBiblical Language CenterLearn Easily – Progress Further – Remember for Life
