Bible Question (short): Greek translation of Acts 16:34c |
Question (full): A matter related to Acts 16:34 v.34c refers to 'having believed'. Does this refer to the jailor or the household? I know that both are masculine in the Greek, but I am intrigued by the adverbial phrase 'with his house'. If the latter were to go with 'the house having believed' rather than 'he exulted with his house', would one not expect a nominative? Can you shed some light on this? I would find either explanation acceptable on theological ground, but grammatically I wonder if my understanding is correct. Grammatically speaking, did the whole house rejoice because the jailor believed or did the jailor rejoice, the house having believed? |
