Subject: Should I "count" this one? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I too noted that the pronouns were in the verbs themselves; that is why we can't know from the Greek that Christ is spoken of each time. When the manuscript says "yet no one said" I don't believe that there is anything in the Greek that implies "to Him". The change in person that you speak about is the phrase "yet no one said". That is, no one said anything to the girl or to the Christ. I think that it is worth noting that the Greek says that Jesus was speaking "with" a woman. There had been conversation carried on. It would have been natural for someone to ask both of them questions about this circumstance. So no one asked her what she wanted nor why He spoke with her. Tim, I have a question about #3778 in Strong's as far as what is "implied" here in this passage. From the heart, Ray |
