Acts 19:4 brought me up short, particularly the second half of the
verse. Apparently I am not alone here, since the commentators are not in
agreement about how this ought to be unscrambled.
On issue which intrigued me is where to connect (syntactically):
EIS TON ERXOMENON MET' AUTON
Barrett (Acts:ICC) makes it limit the verb PISTEUSWOSIN. This makes a
nice smooth reading in English but the position of hINA makes me
skeptical of this solution.
Barrett's English translation: ". . . telling the people that they
should believe in the one who was coming after him . . ."
Fitzmyer (Acts:AB) makes it limit LEGWN.
Fitzmyer's English translation: "he used to tell the people about the
one who would come after him"
My question is about Barrett's solution. Is it feasible, given the
position of hINA?
