      Homework

      1. οὗτος ἔσται μέγας καὶ υἱὸς ὑψίστου κληθήσεται, καὶ δώσει αὐτῷ κύριος ὁ θεὸς τὸν θρόνον Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ βασιλεύσει ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ἰακὼβ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, καὶ τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔσται τέλος. εἶπεν δὲ Μαριὰμ πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, Πῶς ἔσται τοῦτο, ἐπεὶ ἄνδρα οὐ γινώσκω;  Lk. 1:32-34

      2. Πάντες γὰρ υἱοὶ θεοῦ ἐστε διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.  ὅσοι γὰρ εἰς Χριστὸν ἐβαπτίσθητε, Χριστὸν ἐνεδύσασθε·  Gal. 3:26-27


    • For each of the following passages, answer any questions and then translate into English.

      1. μακάριοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ οἱ βλέποντες ἃ βλέπετε  Lk. 10:23
         
        1. Which word is a participle?
        2. What is its gender, case and number?
        3. Is it in the attributive position?
        4. Translate this into English.
           
      2. ὁ γὰρ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ ἀλλὰ θεῷ, οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀκούει, πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια· ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ οἰκοδομὴν καὶ παράκλησιν καὶ παραμυθίαν. ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ· ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ.  1 Cor. 14:2-4
         
      3. καταισχύνετε τοὺς μὴ ἔχοντας;  1 Cor. 11:22
         

      4. ὁ γὰρ ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων κρίμα ἑαυτῷ ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει μὴ διακρίνων τὸ σῶμα.  1 Cor. 11:29
         

      5. καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ ποιμένες δοξάζοντες καὶ αἰνοῦντες τὸν θεὸν ἐπὶ πᾶσιν οἷς ἤκουσαν καὶ εἶδον καθὼς ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς.  Lk. 2:20

        2. Identify the gender, case and number of the first.
        3. Identify the gender, case and number of the second. Notice that the second is a contract verb with stem ending in -ε (uncontracted lexical form ending in -εω) and the rules of contraction will be relevant.
        4. Translate this sentence treating both participles as adverbials, modifying the verb ὑπέστρεψαν.
           
      6. ὑπέστρεψαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀναζητοῦντες αὐτόν. καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ ἡμέρας τρεῖς εὗρον αὐτον ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ καθεζόμενον ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων καὶ ἀκούοντα αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπερωτῶντα αὐτούς.  Lk. 2:45

        1. There are four participles in this sentence. What are they?
        2. Why is the first participle nominative and plural?
        3. The second is middle in voice. Identify its gender, case, and number.
        4. With what noun or pronoun does the second participle agree?
        5. Identify the gender, case and number of the third participle.
        6. With what noun or pronoun does the third participle agree?
        7. Identify the gender, case and number of the fourth participle.  Notice that it is a contract verb with stem ending in -α (uncontracted lexical form ending in -αω) and the rules of contraction will be relevant.
        8. Translate this sentence.

      7. καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν περίχωρον τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν, ὡς γέγραπται ἐν βίβλῳ λόγων Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου, Φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ  Lk 3:3-4a
         
      8. Ἰησοῦς δὲ πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου ὑπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἤγετο ἐν τῷ πνεύματι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἡμέρας τεσσαράκοντα πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου. καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν οὐδὲν ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις  Lk 4:1-2 [Notice the double negative in the last part of the foregoing;  οὐκ . . . οὐδὲν is not bad grammar, nor is it equivalent to a positive. οὐκ ἔφαγεν οὐδὲν is "he ate nothing" or "he did not eat anything."]

      9. Καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ Φαρισαῖοι . . . ζητοῦντες παρ� αὐτοῦ σημεῖον ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, πειράζοντες αὐτόν. (adapted from Mark 8:11 - the syntax has been modified by the ellipsis.)

      10. ἀνεῴχθη δὲ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλει εὐλογῶν τὸν θεόν. καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ πάντας φόβος τοὺς περιοικοῦντας αὐτούς, καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ὀρεινῇ τῆς Ἰουδαίας διελαλεῖτο πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα   Lk 1:64-65
         
      11. ἤκουον εἷς ἕκαστος τῇ ἰδίᾳ διαλέκτῳ λαλούντων αὐτῶν  Ac 2:6b
         

      12. πᾶς ἀνὴρ προσευχόμενος ἢ προφητεύων κατὰ κεφαλῆς ἔχων καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ· πᾶσα δὲ γυνὴ προσευχομένη ἢ προφητεύουσα ἀκατακαλύπτῳ τῇ κεφαλῇ καταισχύνει τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς·  1 Cor. 11:4-5a
         

      13. καὶ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ ἦν ἄνθρωπος ἔχων πνεῦμα δαιμονίου ἀκαθάρτου, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ  Lk. 4:33
         

      14. διὸ γνωρίζω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐδεὶς ἐν πνεύματι θεοῦ λαλῶν λέγει, Ἀνάθεμα Ἰησοῦς. 1 Cor. 12:3a
