I have been following this thread with interest. One aspect of the Greek has
not yet been addresed (or I missed it) that I am hoping might be discussed.
KAI TA FULLA TOU XULIU EIS THERAPEIAN TOON ETHNOON.
Hope this is right, I'm doing my best. There is no verb between XULIO and
EIS, most translations supply "were". What dictates the choice of verb in
English. Does the choice of verb make the "healing" a past, present, or
future event?
