Mark 2:15 KAI GINETAI KATAKEISQAI...
How is the infinitive functioning here? From the flow of the context I want
to translate the phrase as "and he was reclining"--but that doesn't fit any
typical patterns of infinitive useage that I recall. I note that the NIV
translates it temporally: "when he was reclining"--but I don't think of
other infinitives used temporally without a preposition (META, EN, PRO,
etc.).
Any suggestions appreciated.
Rod
