1 | EIS_ retrospective or prospective? | Matt 12:41 | Morant61 | 78542 | ||
Greetings Disciplerami! Are you asking and answering your own questions? :-) Prepositions have a wide variety of meanings and shades of meaning depending on a variety of issues. One possible meaning of 'eis' is causual. It is definitely not the most common, but it is recognized. Here is part of what the 'A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christians Literature' says about this shade of meaning: ****************************************** 6. Other uses of eis"?a. at, in the face of metanoei'n eis" to; khvrugma repent at the proclamation Mt 12:41; Lk 11:32; cf. Ro 4:20 and perh. Mt 3:11. JRMantey, JBL 70, ?51, 45-8, 309-11 argues for a causal use here because of the proclam., with reff.; against him RMarcus, ibid. 129f; 71, ?52, 43f. ******************************************* So I would definitely say that they repented 'because' of or 'at' the preaching of Jonah. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
