Herb,

Acts 2.38: PETROS DE PROS AUTOUS: METANOHSATE, [FHSIN,] KAI BAPTISQHTW
hEKASTOS hUMWN EPI ONOMATI IHSOU XRISTOU EIS AFHSIN TWN hAMARTIWN hUMWN KAI
LHMYESQE THN DWREAN TOU hAGIOU PNEUMATOS.

I'm lost as to the motivation behind this question. How could it be a
parenthetical? If this is off-topic (not related to Greek grammar/syntax as
found in the NT), please, explain it to me off-list.

Secondly, the *subject* of BAPTISQHTW is clearly hEKASTOS hUMWN (each one of
you). I don't see the problem with the text, personally. IMHO, if someone
takes it "parenthetically," then surely it is for theological (and not
grammatical) reasons.

Best regards,
Jason
