In German it stays "Und da sie sahen etliche seiner Jünger mit gemeinen (das
ist ungewaschenen) Händen **das** Brot essen, tadelten sie es. (LUT)"
(stress added; Schlachter doesn't know the Vaticanus :-) The German use the
definite article and don't ask TINA ARTOUS. Sometimes they use the definite
article in a diiferent way than English.
The grammar I use * states two examples of the use of the definite article:
1. hO ANQRWPOS PANOURGOS ESTIN - the man (=that one) is able to do whatever
2. hO ANQRWPOS QNHTOS ESTIN - the man (=the mankind) is submitted to death
(everybody will die)
May the example 2 be used here? The bread is the representative of the food
they eat?
