In Mk 3:29 the author of Mark has Jesus proclaiming that anyone who
blasphemes against the Holy Spirit OUK EXEI AFESIN EIS TON AIWNA, ALLA
ENOXOS ESTIN AIWNIOU hAMARTHMATOS.
I am curious to know if the expression ENOXOS ESTIN is (a) idiomatic and
(b) drawn from the law court and/or bears any particular legal
significance.
Is it a common phrase? Does it have Classical, secular Hellenistic,
and/or LXX precedent. If so, in what contexts?
I'd look up the expression myself -- but I'm too pressed for time right
now.
Yours,
Jeffrey.
