Dear List,
-KAITOIGE IHSOUS AUTOS OUK EBAPTIZEN ALL᾽ hOI MAQHTAI AUTOU- Jn. 4:2
I have a question I hope someone can answer. John the Baptist, we know, would
baptize anyone that came to him in repentance, whether they wished to become his
disciple or not. However, with Jesus, is there any grammatical rule that would
allow the thought to be communicated that Jesus was not baptizing any and all
that came to him, but only those persons who wished to be his disciples? If
MAQHTAI was in the accusative, I think such a thought could be sustained, but
in the nominative???
Sincerely,
Blue Harris
