Acts 28:25-26: τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐλάλησεν... λέγων
On another forum, someone raised this verse in Acts 28 in a discussion of constructio ad sensum as regards the Holy Spirit as masculine in concept. Acts 28:25-26 (NA27): ἀσύμφωνοι δὲ ὄντες πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀπελύοντο εἰπόντος τοῦ Παύλου ῥῆμα ἕν, ὅτι καλῶς τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον ἐλάλησεν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφή...

Re: Android support for polytonic Greek
I'm considering getting an Android tablet, but googling has yielded conflicting reports on whether Android can handle polytonic Greek. The demo models I've played with in stores can't display quite a few characters, and I'll have to go with iOS if there's no solution. Has anyone here successfully g...

Cheap copies of Rahlfs's Septuagint?
Does anyone know where you can get a cheap (used?) copy of Rahlfs's Septuagint in Manhattan? The cheaper the better. I've checked the Strand and didn't find it (though they have several books in the Loeb series). Any ideas?

Re: John 3:5 (two questions)
First, I'd like to now if the following statement (which I read on another forum) is grammatically correct? The last part of the passage (John 3:5) literally reads: “except anyone is born of water and [kai] Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of the God.”[8] As seen, in allowable contexts the ...

Re: John 1:9
I was not disagreeing with the grammar, (I’m not even qualified) I only said I seem to see this pattern in John’s writings and cited: “Jn. 12.46 “ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα” “I have come as a light into the world,” which is (I think) a periphrastic participle in the imperfect tense. Perhaps his...

Re: Kai
Yes, καί means "even" at times, when we can take the two things joined as the same thing, the second being a restatement of the first... Can you give me some examples? A glaring example is how Matthew and John each render Zechariah 9:9. Matthew 21:5 — εἴπατε τῇ θυγατρὶ Σιών· ἰδοὺ ὁ βασιλε...

Re: Kai
How about Ephesians 4:32? γίνεσθε δὲ εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί, εὔσπλαγχνοι, χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς καθὼς καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν Χριστῷ ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν Shouldn't that be translated "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you"? You mi...

Re: Mark 14:8 ὃ ἔσχεν ἐποίησεν
This is helpful. I suppose that Greek ἔχω + inf. and Eng. "have to" + inf. are "false friends." But where do you see ἔχω + inf. in a single phrase? The ἔχω here is part of the relative clause (ὅ ἔσχεν). The infinitive (μυρίσαι) is part of the clause that has προέλαβεν as its mai...
