Re: Accents and article

That's a grievous mistake indeed. How could someone dealing with the Greek text confuse ἑώρακα for ὄψεσθε? And beyond that, to confuse ψ for φ? Interesting! What do you think of him transliterating ἐξηγέομαι as 'hexegeomai'? And of it not being picked up by the 2015 edition, even by the 'respected ...

Re: Accents and article

Thank you, sir, much appreciated. One thing that awakened my interest was noticing that in the 2014 edition of John's Gospel he transliterated ἑώρακα in John 1.34 as ‘ophesthe’. I suggest a possible partial explanation here, based on the occurrence of ὄψεσθε in John 1.39.

Re: Accents and article

George needs to tell us how he really feels. :lol:
I have tried to write this up in a way that might possibly be comprehensible to somebody that doesn't know Greek, here. I have attempted to be temperate.

Re: Accents and article

Thanks a lot. Whoops, I actually knew that there shouldn't be a second accent on ἐμίσησάν, I must have copied and pasted it and was thinking mainly about δωρεάς. Thanks, Timothy, for explaining why it should be acute (though it doesn't look acute in this font). I thought Andrew Wilson let Brian Simm...

Re: ὅτι in Luke 1.45

Thanks very much for the replies, which I have just found (has something changed with notifications? - I have just ticked or re-ticked some boxes in the User Control Panel, which hopefully will sort it out).

And am glad that you read the text the same way as I did.

Accents and article

In footnote 'b' to John 15.25 of the so-called 'Passion Translation', ( John:Eternal Love ) Brian Simmons says that: ἐμίσησάν με δωρεάν can also be translated "They hated my undeserved gifts". In explaining why this cannot be so, I would like to give a Greek translation of his English. I a...

ὅτι in Luke 1.45

καὶ μακαρία ἡ πιστεύσασα ὅτι ἔσται τελείωσις τοῖς λελαλημένοις αὐτῇ παρὰ κυρίου. I read this as 'Blessed is she who believed that there will be a fulfilment of the things spoken to her by the Lord' which seemed unfamiliar, and I found in my English bible (NKJV) that it has 'Blessed is she who believ...

Re: ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον (John 20.7)

Tony, thanks for the further point about χωρίς - and one might add the οὐ μετά - certainly in English, if it were a few centimetres away it would still be 'with'. And thank you for the reference - I will look it up next time I am in the library. Jonathan, I think Morgan reads it as: Πέτρος ... θεωρε...

ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον (John 20.7)

6) ἔρχεται οὖν καὶ Σίμων Πέτρος ἀκολουθῶν αὐτῷ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα, (7) καὶ τὸ σουδάριον, ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον ἀλλὰ χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον. I had understood the σουδάριον to have been wrapped or folded at the time...

Re: Reading greek of the early church fathers?

I was encouraged by C S Lewis's comments on Athanasius's 'On the Incarnation of the Word': When I first opened his De Incarnatione I soon discovered by a very simple test that I was reading a masterpiece. I knew very little Christian Greek except that of the New Testament and I had expected difficul...
