I'm really confused about a couple of spots in this pericope. I
don't have any trouble with the words, but I can't get the sense of
the grammar. I'll appreciate any help you can give me.
TI DE hUMIN DOKEI; (Mat 21:28)
Is this some sort of idiom, or what? I am prepared to accept that
the translation as "What do you think?" is correct, but I'd like to
be able to get a sense of that meaning from the combination of words
and grammar, and I can't.
hUMEIS DE IDONTES OUDE METEMELHQHTE
hUSTERON TOU PISTEUSAI AUTWi. (Mat 21:32)
Can someone clarify this construction for me? I'm OK through
hUSTERON, but TOU PISTEUSAI AUTWi throws me.
TIA
