Acts 2:22 (GNT) Andres Israhlitai, akousate tous logous toutous: Ihsoun ton
Nazwraion, andra apodedeigmenon apo tou qeou eis umas dunamesi kai terasi
kai shmeiois ois epoihsen di autou o qeos en mesw umwn kaqws autoi oidate,
23 touton th wrismenh boulh kai prognwsei tou qeou ekdoton dia ceiros anomwn
prosphxantes aneilate, 24 on o qeos anesthsen lusas tas wdinas tou qanatou,
kaqoti ouk hn dunaton krateisqai auton up autou.
Acts 2:22 (NASU) "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene,
a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God
performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--23 this
[Man], delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God,
you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put [Him] to death. 24
"But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it
was impossible for Him to be held in its power.
More questions:
In verse 22, why is Ihsoun accusative in the phrase "Ihsoun ton Nazwraion"?
I expected that to be a direct object of something, and I made my way all
the way to the end of verse 24 without encountering a subject to match it.
In verse 22, "dunamesi kai terasi kai shmeiois", I assume this is an
instrumental dative? (I'm still struggling with these categories.) If this
is an instrumental dative, is there any virtue in classifying it with a more
detailed subcategory?
In verse 23, can anyone help me parse "touton th wrismenh boulh kai
prognwsei tou qeou"? I think I'm missing the force of the dative in "th
wrismenh" and the meaning of the combination "th wrismenh boulh".
Thanks!
Jonathan
