You know more Greek than me (which is a very slight achievement).
But I know far more about writers than you. They zero in on every little flaw in a competitor. If you ever poked your head out of your self-appointed specialty, you might know that. (Actually, you’re demonstrating that.) 😉
Btw, you didn’t answer my question.
I belatedly realized the ‘of course not’ was your equivalent of no.
A good writer knows when to say more with less. Which is why Mark is so much better than Matthew and Luke. And why don’t we both follow his lead now? Yes another argument over absolutely nothing, when we agree on every important point. Bye y’all. ; )
Your nitpicking is appreciated. Mark was a competent if unsophisticated writer in Greek, and I overstated my point, based on fuzzy memories of past reading. And you could have just said that, you know.
Why the nastiness?
And on a thread you weren’t even involved in before now.
With a fellow poster you spent what seemed like months arguing back and forth with over Greek.
And after a short exchange with me, he withdrew.
Interesting.

‘Though absent for a while, I was previously involved in this thread, so when I was specifically asked about the Greek of this passage, I responded. Nastiness?
Whenever I come to these forums (which is not very often), I encounter some ongoing bickering (or argument, or misunderstanding) between “godspell”, on the one hand, and someone else, on the other. This never fails.
The other person varies from thread to thread; godspell, however, is a constant in the verbal back-and-forth exchanges that I witness *each and every time* I come to check out the foum.
This is just an observation; I draw no conclusions from it. I am sufficiently struck by it, though, that I need to comment.
Please continue…
