<Second, any thoughts about how to decide whether EN
TW PNEUMATI shold be "in the sprit" or "By the
Spirit"?>
The first part of verse one speaks of the PNEUMATOS hAGIOU, so I would
take the PNEUMATI in the last part as also referring to the Holy Spirit.
I understand the phrase EN TWi PNEUMATI as an instrumental dative (dat.
of means), giving the sense "He was led by means of the Spirit."
<Also, in Luke 4:9
It seems to me that for clarity's sake there could be
a second auton after esthsen. Since there isn't, is
there any way to know syntactically, like from the
meaning of (ISTHMI here, that it is the Devil who
stood on the pinnacle of the temple or that the devil
stood/placed/set Jesus on the pinnacle of he temple.
If I was going to say that X put Y somewhere, I'd use
TIQHMI, not (ISTHMI.>
Luke 4:9
HGAGEN DE AUTON EIS IEROUSALHM KAI ESTHSEN EPI TO PTERUGION TOU hIEROU
KAI EIPEN AUTWi, EI hUIOS EI TOU QEOU, BALE SEAUTON ENTEUQEN KATW.
The verb hISTHMI can be either transitive or intransitive (see BDAG). In
this verse, the implied subject is hO DIABOLOS. I would opt for the
transitive understanding of hISTHMI in this verse because we find that
Jesus is also EPI TO PTERUGION TOU hIEROU because the devil tells him
BALE SEAUTON ENTEUQEN KATW.
