Re: πέμψαντός in J. 6.38?

If I'm trekking along w. you then you're saying that πέμψαντός is explicating ποιῶ - not καταβέβηκα - in this passage (?). Yes. If my understanding is correct, doesn't the participle derive it's time (in the indic. mood) or aktionsart from that of the main verb (which in this v. is καταβέβηκα)? I r...

Re: πέμψαντός in J. 6.38?

It's important to remember that in substantive uses of the participle, the idea of time or even aspect is rather in the background. The emphasis is on describing the referent in terms of the action of the verb, "the one having sent" or "the who sent." If you think about it, thou...

Re: πέμψαντός in J. 6.38?

Not sure where to place this, but, just have a question about this verse if allowed. Good question! ὅτι καταβέβηκα ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οὐχ ἵνα ⸁ποιῶ τὸ θέλημα τὸ ἐμὸν ἀλλὰ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με (NA28). After hearing an assertion made about the aorist participle in this passage, I have spent a coup...

Re: Codex Regius (GA 019 - Le)?

I'm not sure what you are looking for. This manuscript seems to be discussed in various works, Wikipedia refers to some here: References Further reading I'm also not sure what you mean by "relatively early", is it 8th century? Yes, ca. 8th cent., but, it is a majuscule obviously copied fr...

Codex Regius (GA 019 - Le)?

I came across Codex Regius recently & have been reading about it. Not sure why I don't read much about this codex since it's relatively early & it's my understanding that it's approx. 5th in line of the great uncial MSS (i.e., Vaticanus, Sinaiticus, Alexandrinus, Ephraemi, Regius). I underst...

Re: Pronunciation of the Article "Ho"?

*Sort of like when folks say "Lωgωs" in English (which drives me insane). To me, this is a clue the speaker has not had formal Greek training (& immediately causes me to be suspect of anything they claim "in the Greek"). Same thing in this situation - or no? Well, it looks l...

Re: Pronunciation of the Article "Ho"?

*Okay, thanks for the responses. But, (& pls. pardon my ignorance here) - it seems as if I'm reading conflicting info.? I realize there's much debate over the precise pronunciation of ancient Koine. But, to me, an omicron & omega respectively make the sounds they're supposed to make? *Sort ...

Pronunciation of the Article "Ho"?

*Quick question: I recently heard a man claiming to be well versed in exegesis pronouncing the article ὁ as "Ho" with the long sounding O as in an ὧ (he was quoting John 20.28)? He does this type of thing all the time & I'm wondering if I'm missing something? Is this acceptable in, sa...
