Dear Greekers,
I've noticed that the active voice MOICHEUOW is usually
used; but the passive form ( MOICHEUOMAI ) is used in
Mt 5:32, Mt 19:9, Mk 10:11-12, and Jn 8:4. This is a little
puzzling to me. Especially:
"they said to Him, 'Teacher, this woman has
been caught in adultery ( MOICHEUOMENH ),
in the very act.' " -Jn 8:4
My question: How can she be "caught...in the very act" of
being adulterated? What is the significance of being in the
form of the verb? Is this the normal way to speak of a woman
in an adulterous act?
Thank you for your help.
Denny
