Class Notes and Comments

Lesson 20: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

137. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.

138., 139., and 140. Memorize the paradigms for the Aorist Passive and the Perfect Active and Middle/Passive Participles. Note the accents. Also note how similar they are to the Participles you have already learned. Focus on the differences/clues, i.e.:

• The Aorist Passive has θε (masculine and neuter) or θει (feminine) where the Aorist Active has σα between the stem and the ending.
  
• The Perfect Active masculine and neuter have reduplication and κ (κο) between the stem and the ending, with no ν as part of the ending.
• The Perfect Active feminine has reduplication and κ (κυι) between the stem and the ending.
• The Perfect Middle/Passive has reduplication and no connecting ο (Present Middle/Passive) or connecting σα (Aorist Middle) between the stem and the ending (cf. the Perfect Middle/Passive Indicative, which also has reduplication and no connecting vowel between the stem and the ending).

141. This is important. Periphrastic Participles are common in the New Testament, and can affect the translation and meaning of some verses.

142. We have discussed these nuances of the Adverbial Participle. You need to know them. I gave you a total of eight, i.e., the six here:

1. Time/Temporal: "when/while/after"
2. Manner/Modal: "in the manner of"
3. Means/Instrumental: "by means of"
4. Cause/Causal: "because of"
5. Condition/Conditional: "if"
6. Concession/Concessive: "although"

plus:

7. Telic/Purpose: "for the purpose of" (intended result)
8. Resultative: "as a result of" (results, whether intended or not)

143. Do all the Exercises.

We'll again continue our reading with Κατα Ιωαννην The Gospel According to John, 1:35, since we did not do any reading from John on November 3.
