Dear Navarro,
I asked the same question on Mark 2:2, to which Carl gave the same
answer as he did this time.
But your translation and explanation seems to make a better sense:
> The sentence is very clear to me.
>
> hWSTE MHKETI XWREIN MHDE TA PROS THN QURAN-
> so that neither the house nor the courtyard could contain them anymore.
>
But isn't it possible, grammatically speaking, to take it as Carl
does? Do double negatives MHKETI .... MHDE make Carl's interpretation
less probable?
Respectfully,
Moon
