I have been having fun trying to get a good handle on Mark 9:1 and
thought I would ask some questions. . .
KAI ELEGEN AUTOIS, AMHN LEGW hUMIN hOTI EISIN TINES hWDE TWN hESTHKOTWN
hOITINES OU MH GEUSWNTI QANATOU hEWS AN IDWSIN THN BASILEIAN TOU QEOU
ELHLUQUIAN EN DUNAMEI.
Questions:
1. Does TWN hESTHKOTWN modify TINES? If it does, is this a partitive
genitive?
2. Is this diagram correct?
