Bible Note: Jawz, I see your point about the imperfect tense. However, doesn't Mt. 2:9 have the exact same construction with the imperfect tense and then heos? And I believe that it does suggest a stopping of the action: Mt 2:9 And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before(imperfect) them, till(heos) it came and stood over where the young child was. The star stopped going 'before them' after it came to the child, right? GOD bless!! Thanks again! chris |
