Dear Andrew,
>I understand that ETHN- is always neuter. My question is about the reason
>for the masculine gender for the plural pronouns and what it means.
>Grammatically/Linguistically does it mean that those individuals who have
>been discipled should be baptised... or is Jesus setting us the puzzle of
>how to baptise nations?
HH: I assume it is the former. Matthew shifts in his mind from the
people groups or nations to the individuals who will be discipled. So
he uses the gender that would suit the individuals.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
