POLLOI OUN EK TWN IOUDAIWN, hOI ELQONTES PROS THN
MARIAM KAI QEASAMENOI hA EPOIHSEN, EPISTEUSAN EIS
AUTON

Is POLLOI...hOI appositional in the sense that ALL who
comprise POLLOI are the same as hOI ELQONTES? If I
understand one commentator's objection, he rejects
this on the grounds that if the POLLOI is the same as
the hOI ELQONTES, then ALL THOSE who had come to see
Mary believed after seeing Lazarus resurrected. I take
him to mean that there were other Jews present (EK TWN
IOUDAIWN), but that there is a one-to-one correlation
between the number represented by POLLOI and hOI ELQONTES.
