Dear b-greekers.
May I ask what must be some simple questions? At John 17:5 we have PARA with the dative. My question is: Is PARA here one of locality? Also, there are many NT translations, such as C.B.Williams and the Translator's NT and also those like G. Beasley-Murray in his translation/commentary on John in the Word Biblical Commentary series that offer "alongside" or similiar for PARA here. What are you thoughts on this? Do these translations, rather than those who read "with," accurately convey in English what the Greek would to John's first readers in the late 1st century?
Many thanks
