Subject: How do we remit |
Bible Note: You have a grandbaby? Me too. You wrote: "If Peter had meant what you are saying, he simply would have had to use the plural command to 'be baptized'. But, he didn't for a reason! :-)" I don't believe that is right, the singular "each one" is follow by the genetive OF YE. You are right, the Greek "be baptized" could have a plural form, but it is not ungrammatical to do it this way: the manner in which we have received gives emphasis to the individual, but still applies to the "Ya'll" plural. Lk 22:31 the word transalted 'you' is the accusative plural, humas, so Satan must have requested permission to sift two or more of the disciples like wheat. The same word is used in vese 35, and all of the disciples understood it so and so it is translated, "you (Ye) did not lack anything, did you? And they said, 'No..." The English is clear enough when it shows that all responded. Again, the Greek plural is often depicted in the King James as 'Ye.' I wish we had that in our modern English. |
