I am a new subscriber to this list, and am sure that my question is as old
as my subscription is new. But, I am curious about the use of the
participle in Mt. 28:19a: POREUQENTES OUN MAQHTEUSATE PANTA TA EQNH. Is
this an imperative use of the participle? Or, is it a temporal use of the
participle? It seems clear to me that the participles following, in vs.
19b, 20 -- BAPTIZONTES and DIDASKONTES -- are modal participles.
