<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>14.26 OU MISEI TOV PATERA hEAUTOU (or is it PATERA AUTOU as I have in a
<BR>Nestle/.Marshall interlinear Greek-English NT, based on Nestle 21)
<BR>
<BR>14.26 ETI TE KAI THN YUXHN hEAUTOU
<BR>
<BR>14.27 hOSTIS OU BASTAZEI TON STAURON hEAUTOU
<BR>
<BR>14.33 &nbsp;OUK APOTASSETAI PASIN TOIS hEAUTOU hUPARXOUSIN
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>Does the pronoun hEAUTOU act reflexively referring to the associated noun
<BR>itself or does it act possessively and refer to the one who would be a
<BR>disciple as owning the associated noun?
<BR>
<BR>The translation differences might be something like:
<BR>
<BR>14.26 does not hate the father himself
<BR>or 14.26 does not hate his father
<BR>
<BR>14.26 and even life itself
<BR>or 14.26 and even his life
<BR>
<BR>14.27 does not bear the cross itself
<BR>or 14.27 does not bear his crosss
<BR>
<BR>14.33 does not take leave of all the possessions themselves
<BR>or 14.33 does not take leave of all his possessions
<BR>
<BR>I am not sure whether there is any significance in the translation
<BR>differences, but I would be curious as to the reason for using hEAUTOU if the
<BR>translations are better understood as AUTOU.
<BR>
<BR>Thanks,
