Re: Mark 2:26. TR
πως εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου επι αβιαθαρ
του αρχιερεως
και τους αρτους της προθεσεως εφαγεν ους ουκ εξεστι φαγειν ει μη τοις ιερευσι και εδωκε και τοις συν αυτω ουσι

αρχιερεως of high priest occurs 14 times in the TR. Only once in the TR without article. Acts 19:14.

αβιαθαρ του αρχιερεως can be understood to mean "Abiathar [son] of the high priest." Which in fact that he was at that that time.

 

@John of Japan,
Regarding Acts of the Apostles 7:16 I was thinking παρα could be rendered as "besides" in the text. You pointed out it should not.
My view,
". . . So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers, And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money besides of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. . . ."

My thinking being had Stephen omitted παρα he would have had to have said, ". . . And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. . . ." Just as it now is in the KJV.

Also those hearing Stephen could have understood it was Jacob who bought of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.

 

The KJV Acts of the Apostles 7:16,
". . . And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. . . ."

The Greek text here, with or without παρα can be translated the same way in English if just using of. Genitive Case.

Most. translates παρα as from.
I proposed besides. Without παρα in the text it is still Genitive Case of. παρα is of course to be in the same case. And παρα is not needed to mean in English ". . . And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. . . ." I was thinking παρα makes it possible to be understood as ". . . And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money besides of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem. . . ."

I am assuming the one's to whom Stephen spoke understood Jacob bought from the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem, not Abraham.

 

Thank you. I understood that.
Dr Pickering thinks Stephen had extra Biblical evidence, we at this time no longer have, for Stephen's statement. Acts 7:16 second passage dealt with in video.

I am supposing Jacob's purchase was ment and understood.
