[B-Greek] John 6:40 - PAS - "ALL" or "ALL THOSE WHO" ? (Iver Larsen)

If I understand this question...

the basics of it is simply the fact that the text reads... πας ὁ  
θεωρων...

ὁ θεωρων = Part. Act. Pres. Nom. Sing. Masc. "Participle acting  
as a noun" = the one who sees

the πας before this participle seems to add a spectrum of 'every' or  
'all' of the 'ones who see'.
THEREFORE: Together they make... "ALL THOSE WHO [SEE]"
πας by itself does not get this translation.

what is more confusing to me is the reasoning behind the singular. ALL  
THOSE WHO seems to want a plural, not singular:  ὁ θεωρων
If anyone can answer this for me that would be handy...


i hope i have read this question right. Maybe you wanted something  
else. Maybe that was already obvious?

enjoy

Luke
