KAI KRACAS FWNH MEGALH LEGEI ...
And crying-out to-sound great he-says ...
TI ___ EMOI KAI SOI IHSOU UIE TOU QEOU TOU UYISTOU
What ... to-me and to-you Jesus son of-the most-high God!
he goes on to say ... I implore you, by God, don't torture me!
My question is, how to translate the first part of what the demoniac says to
Jesus.
Are the words ... TI ___ EMOI KAI SOI ... a colloquial expression?
Many bibles translate ... TI ___ EMOI KAI SOI ... as "What have I to do with
you"
To me, I think this paraphrase is not accurate.
It seems to me that the expession ... TI EMOI KAI SOI ... is missing a verb
but that the verb is implied and supposedly obvious.
Is this a text ellipsis? - I don't think so.
Was the text purposely written this way? - I think it was.
If I am correct, what would be a good candidate for the missing verb?
