Re: ἄρτι vs νῦν
But why would there be two different words that mean exactly the same thing? Surely there is a slightly different meaning? Why wouldn't an author just use one of them as opposed to using them in different places in the same book to describe things? I can only say that this happens in Hebrew, where ...

Re: ἄρτι vs νῦν
I'm not sure that they are exactly interchangeable, but I don't know if they are different, and if they are, I don't know exactly what the difference is. There was a thread on this here: https://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=661 It's easy to do a quick search, but analyzing ...

Re: κερματιστής vs κολλυβιστής
Both of these words are translated as "money changers". But clearly there must be some slight difference in the literal meaning. Is it safe to say that κερματιστής refers to one who handles κερμα (coins) while κολλυβιστής is literally "money changer"? I think the two words for m...

Re: John 2:16 καὶ τοῖς τὰς περιστερὰς πωλοῦσιν εἶπεν·
Hello. Thanks for your reply Jason.Jason Hare wrote: ↑January 31st, 2018, 7:15 am It's number 1. The πωλοῦσιν is the dative participle in this case.
So τοῖς goes with πωλοῦσιν because they are of the same case number and gender, and the noun sandwich construction is just something that is possible in the language?

John 2:22 Jesus said the word, or the word and the writing?
John 2:22 ὅτε οὖν ἠγέρθη ἐκ νεκρῶν, ἐμνήσθησαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τοῦτο ἔλεγεν, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν τῇ γραφῇ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ ⸀ὃν εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς. My question is, does the scope of εἶπεν extend to both τῇ γραφῇ and τῷ λόγῳ or to just τῷ λόγῳ? Should it be understood as: Jesus spoke/said/ read the word and th...

Suggestion for the forum: Textual Criticism
Hi. There should really be a section on the forum just for textual criticism pertaining to Biblical Greek. I think it would be good and relevant to have more discussion about textual variants and anything pertaining to TC of the text. It is something that I personally feel is a fundamental and nonav...
