Hello,

JOHN 1:11-12 reads:
EIS TA IDIA HLQE KAI OI IDIOI AUTON OU PARELABON. OSOI DE ELABON
AUTON EDWKEN AUTOIS EXOUSIAN TEKNA QEOU GENESQAI TOIS PISTEUOUSIN EIS
TO ONOMA AUTOU

1.  What did it mean in the ancient Greek language (or the Jewish
culture) to LAMBANW or PARALAMBANW a person?
2.  What significance can we presume from the use of both these words
so close together?  (The passage would appear to make good sense
using the same word in both verses.)

Thank you very much!

Ted Shoemaker
