Dear Sirs
I've found on the web: http://digilander.libero.it/domingo7/Mary.htm
what do you think about?
For KECARITWMENH....(Luke 1,28)
Is a funny and silly idea the "periphrastic coniugation"? or is a
consistent hypotesis?
Quoting.....
The verb used by Gabriel would be the imperative "chaire" that is
"rejoice". Many other scholars think that the perfect passive
participle
KECARITWMENH could be a verbal form and not a noun itself. In New
Testament, in Apostolic Fathers and in Early Christian Literature
there are many examples of passive participles used in periphrastic
coniugation: in many periphrastic forms the verb “to be” is clearly
omitted. If "chaire" is a salutation rather than a real imperative (as
well realized Jerome translating "chaire" with "Ave"), we can assume
that "kekaritomene" here retains a high verbal value. Although we
can’t prove that "kekaritomene" correspond to the periphrastic
coniugation ESTIN + KECARITWMENH, we may note that, within the same
verse, the verb "to be" is omitted at least once more. In Luke 1.28 we
have:
Χαιρε κεκαριτωμενη ο κυριος μετα σου
CAIRE KECARITWMENH hO KURIOS META SOU
"Hail [you were] filled with grace, the Lord [is] with you."
According to Luke 1.42, in some manuscripts (including Textus
Receptus), the greeting continues with:
Ευλογημενη συ εν γυναιξιν
EULOGHMENH SU EN GUNAIXIN
"Blessed [are or were] you among women,"
where we find ευλογημενη (eulogemene), perfect passive
participle nominative singular and female (as kekaritomene), with a
verb "to be" omitted. ....
What about???
Thank you very much
