Re: John 1:49 (the) King of Israel

That is indeed the case. Though, on the lighter side, it seems the chief priests and Pilate were also at odds about the use of the article:

John 19.21 ἔλεγον οὖν τῷ Πειλάτῳ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων Μὴ γράφε Ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἐκεῖνος εἶπεν Βασιλεύς τῶν Ἰουδαίων εἰμί.

Re: John 1:49 (the) King of Israel

It is also possible that John might have been following a basic convention mentioned by Eleanor Dickey in "Composition and Analysis of Greek Prose": "Greek does not use the article with a few idiosyncratic words that, because they refer to something unique and well known, are consider...

Re: Romans 14:14

The LXX usage is a good place to research. So, if Paul meant unclean, he did not use LXX vocabulary. Next step, looking at a research tool to look further at NT usage. Here is a relevant snippet from Silva's NIDNTTE: 2 The use of κοινός in the sense “profane” calls for comment. It occurs in Mark 7:2...

Re: Romans 14:14

Words usually have a range of meanings depending on their context. So both of the people you cite are referring to common usages of κοινὸν. It can also be used to refer to things which are shared in common. In the context of the passage you cite (Rom 14:14- not 7) it is used in the sense of profane ...

Re: ἔγειρε semantics and orthography--how would you parse this?

Here are some secular examples, plus extensive patristic citations which often change biblical citations to the αι form: elius Herodianus et Pseudo-Herodianus Gramm., Rhet., Partitiones (= Ἐπιμερισμοί) [Sp.?] (e codd. Paris. 2543 + 2570) (0087: 036) “Herodiani partitiones”, Ed. Boissonade, J.F. Lond...

Re: Justin Martyr Dialogue with Trypho 51.3

Thanks Stirling for the snippet from Athanasius, with the relevant segment ὁ δὲ Κύριος, ἀθάνατος αὐτὸς ὢν, σάρκα δὲ θνητὴν ἔχων...etc. This seems at first glance to say "But the Lord, himself being Immortal, yet a mortal body possessing...etc. seems to be a simple enough form with possible simi...

Re: εἰς μακράν in Acts 2:39 - "far off" in the FUTURE?

My vote would be to fit the interpretation to the context of the group that that speaker has in mind, 'everyone the Lord calls to himself". Thus distance in space, time or spiritual condition do not pose a limit the Lord's ability to call. I see no evidence in the verse to limit the distance to...

Justin Martyr Dialogue with Trypho 51.3

I am working through a passage in Justin Martyr and am wondering especially about the force of the last phrase: τοῦτ' ἔστιν αὐτὸς ὢν ὁ Χριστός. I'm trying to understand if the force of ὢν is that "He is the Messiah himself" or himself "as''/"being" the messiah (set up the ne...

Re: Clement of Alexandria

Thanks Stephan, this is a great help. I had only read that Hyperbaton was for emphasis and wrongly assumed emphasis on the middle word. Thus Clement was really focused on sleep as the great enemy of prayer. By the way, thanks for all your contributions over the years. You have provided consistently ...
