Luke 2.42 + 2.43

42
KAI hOTE EGENETO ETWN DWDEKA [aorist tense]
ANABAINONTWN AUTWN [present tense]
KATA TO EQOS THS hEORTHS

43
KAI TELEIWSANTWN TAS hHMERAS [aorist tense]
EN TWi hUPOSTREFEIN AUTOUS [present tense]
hUPEMEINEN IHSOUS hO PAIS EN IEROUSALHM [aorist tense]
KAI OUK EGNWSAN OI GONEIS AUTOU [aorist tense]


ANABAINONTWN in the present tense strikes me as
unusual. Both from an aspectual and temporal view.

Any explanations as to this present usage here?

Sincerely,

Alan B. Thomas

of Job were answered only by a deeper mystery....
