Best Passages to teach learn Participles

Post by Louis L Sorenson »

Does anyone have any favorite NT passages which they use to teach participles? Here is a quick table of participle rich NT chapters, down to 5%. I'm looking for a good representative usage (not all nominatives) with a vocab that is not too unfamiliar and structure that is not too complex. Any ideas?

The Triumphal entry pericope (Luke 19:28–40) is a passage full of participles. It has a lot of sequential actions, which are ripe for: Statement. Genitive absolute, related statement.


28 Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο
ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
29 ὡς ἤγγισεν πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν,
λέγων· ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κατέναντι κώμην,
ἐν ᾗ εἰσπορευόμενοι εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον,
καὶ λύσαντες αὐτὸν ἀγάγετε.
32 ἀπελθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι εὗρον
33 λυόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον εἶπαν οἱ κύριοι
35 καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπιρίψαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον
36 πορευομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ ὑπεστρώννυον τὰ ἱμάτια
37 ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ
ἤρξαντο ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν χαίροντες
38 λέγοντες·
εὐλογημένος ἐρχόμενος,
ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου·

41 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν ἰδὼν τὴν πόλιν

Louis, you & I appear to be asking some of the same questions; witness my post under "Teaching & Learning Greek."

I look forward to the discussion.
