Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

It says "c. acc. rei. [...] cf. Ev.Matt.26.62" which is exactly the same quotation as in Mark 14:60. David, Thanks so much for your patient fielding of my questions. Would you mind very much putting up with a little more unreasonableness on my part and help me understand how to decipher t...

Since καταμαρτυροῦσιν is transitive how could it not have a direct object?

Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

Firstly, "μαρτυρειν" can be used transitively (see 1 John 5:10). I presume you are pointing to μεμαρτύρηκεν which is perfect and stative and therefore unlikely to be transitive. Right? though I did notice that LSJ lists that particular instance as one where "τι" is the object of...

Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

though I did notice that LSJ lists that particular instance as one where "τι" is the object of the verb "καταμαρτυρουσιν". How does identifying "τι" as the object of the verb "καταμαρτυρουσιν" move us closer to determining whether it means "what or "...

Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

I think "σου" is called a genitive complement of "καταμαρτυρουσιν" and not a direct object, though in many cases I prefer to think of compound verbs as quite equivalent to the root verb with the preposition, such as "μαρτυρουσιν κατα σου". Doesn't breaking the verb apa...

Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

David,
I'm not confident in my understanding of grammar but it seems to me that σου is the direct object of καταματυρεω (testify against) and that τί occupies the place of...? Questions move constituents around in the sentence and it leaves me scratching my head.

Re: Mark 14:60 τί what or why?

Isn't the question out of desperation? If Jesus says nothing their testimony is valueless since they could not agree. He no doubt hopes Jesus will explain and condemn himself. It seems to me that both "what" and "why" could be used to spur him to comment but why could open up cou...

Re: ἐν χριστῷ (Ephesians)

I'm studying Ephesians, and I'm struggling with the phrase ἐν χριστῷ in Ephesians. I can do word searches, but I really don't want to try to find every occurrence in Greek literature of ἐν + personal name. For those of you familiar with Greek literature, can you send me in the direction of other (n...
