Dear Carl, In Matthew alone, the passive of EGEIRW is used 18 times
intransitively, not counting the 10 or so references to Jesus'
resurrection (either in the future or the past). 2:13; 2:14; 2:20; 2:21;
8:15; 8:26; 9:6; 9:7; 9:19; 9:25; 11:11; 12:42; 17:7; 24:7; 24:11;
24:24; 25:7; 26:46. A couple of these may be questionable, but not all
of them.
