I'm in a hotel room, without access to books, and I had several questions
while reading this passage:
Acts 4:25 EQNH KAI LAOI
Acts 4:27 EQNESIN KAI LAOIS ISRAHL
What is the difference between EQNH and LAOI? How is the phrase EQNESIN KAI
LAOIS ISRAHL to be understood?
Acts 4:31 KAI DEHQENTWN AUTWN
OK, it is a genitive aorist participle, but what does that mean? Zerwick's
Grammatical Analysis has a terse reference to "absolute of prayer, genitive
absolute". How is this phrase to be understood?
Acts 4:34 PWLOUNTES
Is this a nominative absolute?
Acts 4:36 BARNABAS - hUIOS PARAKLHSEWS
Zerwick says hUIOS PARAKLHSEWS is "not possibly a translation of Barnabas".
Any comment on this? No less an authority than my 6th grade Sunday School
teacher told me that it was...
Thanks!
Jonathan
