<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was studying John 14:22 and Judas asks Jesus TI
GEGONEN HOTI HEMIN MELLEIS EMPHANIZEIN</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is how to understand TI GEGONEN.&nbsp;
Does it mean </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a)&nbsp; "What has happened (that you now only
intend to show yourslef to us and not to the world)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>b) "Why (do you intend to show yourself only to us
and not to the world)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Choice (a) seems more literal, and this seems to be
the understanding of the NASB.&nbsp; However, Jesus' reply seems to answer
option (b), and this is how the NIV translates it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Robertson
(Grammar, 739) seems to understand it to mean something close to option
(b).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any comments on how to understand
this?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In Christ,</FONT></DIV>
