Post by vir litterarum »

Does anyone know where I can find a verse by verse commentary online of the Greek Gospels?

What kind of commentary? Linguistic? I doubt that would exist. Contextual? Exegetical? Eisegetical? Hermeunetical?

On the left bar go to; "Mark: A brief commentary."

I am translating the Gospel from Koine, and I want a commentary that explains any difficult or strange grammar or syntactical constructions.

new testament commentary

Post by eusebioskos »

actually i just found something resembling what you're describing. its called "refresh your greek: practical helps for reading the new testament" and its by wesley k. perschbacher, moody press, 1989. it has the complete text of the new testament; about one half of each page is the actual annotated greek text, while the other half is comprised of the corresponding footnotes. these are almost all parsings of unusual verbs, with the occasional irregular genitive plural noun or hard to recognize participle. for instance, in mark 15:1 it notes that aphnegkan is the 3rd pers. pl. aor. act. indic. of apopherw, to lead away; a historical aorist.
i've had fairly good luck, as a 2nd semester greek student (hansen and quinn, 3 units to go, baby!) using this to quickly move through these texts with the aid of the copious vocabulary notes. my vocab is small but growing, and i think something like this and koine flashcards have worked well (see www.vis-ed.com; they have attic, latin, and hebrew series as well).
one of my qualms about H&Q...limited vocab makes it hard to move from classwork to meaningful reading.

hope this helps...good luck!
