As before, here is my attempt at the odd numbered exercises in chapter 20.

1. After the ruler had come to the Lord, the servants spoke these things to the disciples.

3. After you had believed in the Lord, immediately the ruler also believed.

5. After he had been cast out of the synagogue, the rulers were gathered together.

7. After the Holy Spirit had said these things, the disciples proclaimed the word of God.

9. After these signs had been received from the Lord, we immediately spoke the mysteries that are in the Scriptures to the others.

11. After they had been thrown into prison on account of the preaching of the gospel to them by the apostles, they cried out there to the one who had saved them.

13. You welcomed those who had been cast out of the synagogue and the women who had welcomed them into their houses.

15. This is the wisdom of God which was proclaimed in the world by those who have seen the Lord.

17. After we had been pursued by the soldiers, the ones who were in the house welcomed us.

19. I spoke these things to them while they were bringing the children to the Lord, and to those who had been brought.

21. I said these things to you while you were still with me.


I will have a stab at the composition exercise in a day or so.

And here is my attempt at the composition exercises, odd numbers p.171

1. labovntwn tw:n stratiwtw:n ta; iJmavtia tw:n paidivwn oiJ maqhvtai ejxeblhvqhn ejk th;V oijkivaV.
Genitive absolute in the first clause.

3. ejrcomevnwn eijV th;n oijkivan hJmw:n tau:ta ei[pen oJ kuvrioV toi:V a[rcousi.
Another genitive absolute

5. oiJ ajkouvsanteV to;n ajpovstolon tau:ta legovnta ei\don to;n oi[kon to;n luqevnta uJpov tw:n stratiwtw:n.
several participles, none of them absolute!

7. diwkomevnwn tw:n maqhtw:n uJpo; tw:n ajrcovntwn h[rconto oiJ ajpovstoloi eijV a[llhn oijkivan.

9. gravyenta ta; ojnovmata hJmw:n ejn tw/: biblivw/ th;V zwhvV, oyovmeqa to;n kuvrion.
Note sequence of tenses: aorist passive participle in the subordinate clause, future deponent in the main clause.

11. ou{toi eijsi;n oiJ a[rconteV genovmenoi maqhvtai sou.
Note that the progressive and aorist participles of ginomai differ by only one letter.

13. ejkeinw:n tw:n blhqeisw:n eijV th;n fulakh;n ajphvlqomen eijV th;n e[rhmon.
We don't use feminine aorist participles very often, do we?

15. ajgagovntwn tw:n maqhtw:n pro;V to;n kuvrion tou;V diwcqevntaV dia; aujto;n ejkei:noi oiJ dou:loi proshvlqon pro;V hJmi:n fevronteV ta; dw:ra ta; ajgaqav.

Any suggestions or corrections would be most welcome.

9. gravyenta ta; ojnovmata hJmw:n ejn tw/: biblivw/ th;V zwhvV, oyovmeqa to;n kuvrion.
Whoooops! It should be aorist passive participle, not progressive, and it should be genitive absolute as well, since the subject of teh first clause is 'names' which does not appear in the main clause.
I had forgotten that the aorist passive does not have the psi here

Second go at it:
9. grafevntwn tw:n ojnomavtwn hJmw:n ejn tw/: biblivw/ th;V zwhvV, oyovmeqa to;n kuvrion.
