0000,7777,0000 0000,7777,0000 I want to limit any discussion of this on B-Greek to the question of the idiomatic use of PARADIDWMI PNEUMA in the sense of "expire," "breathe one's last." If anyone wants to raise questions about the interpretation or theological dimensions of the question, please write me off-list about it. Carl, I will only comment on one item: With PARADIDWMI one must ask, to whom? The only answer I can come to is to Jesus' mother and the disciple whom he loved, i.e. to people at the foot of the cross. I do not see any possibility of it being equkal to the EXEPNEUSEN elsewhere. In short, it would support your linking it to John 20.
