Re: εγω ειμι

Bryant J. Williams, III Thank you for the time-consuming answer you put together. It is appreciated very much. It also confirmed my suspicion that εγω ειμι is derived (in the NT), not from the Ex 3.14 passage, but the ones in Isaiah. Thanks again for such an elaborate answer. In the future, just mak...

εγω ειμι

I have a question about the NT's use of the OT's εγω ειμι. Most commentators reference Exodus 3:14 as the origin of εγω ειμι, but in Exodus 3, εγω ειμι simply introduces God's name; it is not a part of it. Exodus 3:14 και ειπεν ο θεος προς μωυσην εγω ειμι ο ων και ειπεν ουτως ερεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ...

Perhaps you can consult a Modern Greek dictionary for the word καθιστὠ or ask a modern Greek.
καθιστὠ in modern Greek means to install or establish, to make is καποιο, to appoint is διοριζω. This is based on the Collins Gem Greek Dictionary.

Re: Publishing a volume on The Article in Koine Greek

Dr. King,

Have you checked with Dr. Dan Wallace? I think he has done extensive work with the Koine DA. Perhaps he would be willing to contribute a section or two of his work or, who knows, maybe a new article.

Just a thought.

Re: Historical Presents in the Gospel of John

In John 13.22 and 13.24 two HPs are used. Both are λέγει. You are going to get yelled at for not putting the Greek verses in your email. 21 ταυτα ειπων ιησους εταραχθη τω πνευματι και εμαρτυρησεν και ειπεν αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι εις εξ υμων παραδωσει με 22 εβλεπον εις αλληλους οι μαθηται απορουμεν...

Re: 2 John 11 ὁ λέγων γὰρ αὐτῷ χαίρειν

I don't understand what you're saying. On the one hand, you're saying that John has a problem or struggle with grammar and that the placement is crude or perhaps less formal, but on the other hand you're saying that it is not a mistake and still acceptable. So what is it? Good grammar or bad? And i...

Re: 2 John 11 ὁ λέγων γὰρ αὐτῷ χαίρειν

2 John 11 wrote:ὁ λέγων γὰρ αὐτῷ χαίρειν κοινωνεῖ τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ τοῖς πονηροῖς. The NA28 text of this verse has an unusual position of the γάρ, after both ὁ λέγων instead between them, as read in the Byzantine text (ὁ γὰρ λέγων [αὐτῷ] χαίρειν, with a split within this textual tradition on whethe...

Dr. Conrad wrote: As to the surprise I must chime in: "Me too!" I've voiced my amusement in many an "ad nauseam" comment on Wallace's penchant for practicing the fine art of hair-splitting on the adnominal genitive. It certainly does require chutzpah to invent an "aporetic g...
