I am looking at Mt 4:24. The following is the way I see in a poor man's
diagramming.
Mt 4:24
(A) KAI *APHLQEN *H AKOH AUTOU EIS OLHN THN SURIAN
(B) KAI *PROSHNEGKAN *AUTW PANTAS TOUS KAKWS ECONTAS
(B1) POIKILAIS NOSOIS KAI BASANOIS SUNECOMENOUS
(B2) [KAI] DAIMONIZOMENOUS
(B3) KAI SELHNIAZOMENOUS
(B4) KAI PARALUTIKOUS
(C) KAI *EQERAPEUSEN *AUTOUS.
The verse consists of three clauses (A) (B) and (C) with verbs APHLQEN,
PROSHNEGKAN, EQERAPEUSEN.
The problem I had is with (B). I like to take B1, B2, B3 and B4 with
accusative participles SUNECOMENOUS, DAIMONIZOMENOUS, SELHNIAZOMENOU, and
accusative adjective PARALUTIKOUS as 'objects' of the verb ECW (> ECONTAS).
I wish B4 had a participle, but I can take as in a sense of participle in
English ('being paralytic).
Then, KAKWS ECW takes all the forms of people's trouble to be brought to
Him. From reading English translations, it is not clear and precise. They
seem to give me a picture of their taking B2-B4 as the objects of verb B
PROSHNEGKAN.
I would appreciate your comments so that I make sure I am on the right
track.
