John 1:9
Posted: January 4th, 2016, 8:29 pm
I have a feeling this has been asked before, but I can't find it, so...
ἦν τὸ φῶς τὸ ἀληθινὸν ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενον εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
Can ἐρχόμενον be understood as neuter nominative singular (agreeing with φῶς) as well as masculine accusative singular?
Is there a grammatical reason it can't?
Is there a syntactical reason, or just a "that seems quite unlikely") reason?
Thank you all very much.
