Dear Jason,
In the commentaries I find John 8:25 translated various ways. You write:
>I think that the most relevant to your point are ones like Matthew 6:33,
>where PRWTOS {pro^tos) is used to say "at the first." Your verse says,
>"What did I tell you even 'at the beginning' (THN ARCHN [te^n arche^n])?"
I must be missing something. The verb LALW (tell) is in the present. How do
you put it in the past?
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
