Hi,
I have 2 questions regarding the use of STREPHW in Matthew 18:3

a) Is it possible that STRAPHATE from STREPHW in Matthew 18:3 is a divine
passive. The KJV, NKJV and NAU translate it with passive force, but the ESV,
NET, NIV do not.

b) Could this word be used here in the same was as it is in 1 Sam 10:6,
where it refers to an inward change rather than a change in direction?

Many thanks
Duncan
