Greek I Present Middle/Passive Indicative (Chapter 18)

Exegetical Insight – The Divine Passive • One of the ways that the passive voice is used is called the divine passive. • This is when God is the obvious agent of the action, without His being explicitly named. • maka,rioi oi` penqou/ntej( o[ti auvtoi. paraklhqh,sontaiÅ • ~Umei/j ga.r evpV evleuqeri,a| evklh,qhte( avdelfoi,\ • th/| ga.r ca,riti, evste sesw|sme,noi dia. pi,stewj\ • te,knon( avfi,entai, sou ai` a`marti,aiÅ

Overview of this Lesson • In this lesson we will learn: • the passive voice, in which the subject receives the action of the verb; • that the present middle/passive is formed by joining the present tense stem, connecting vowel, and primary middle/passive endings; • that in the present tense, the middle and passive are identical in form.

English • Voice – the relationship of the subject to the action of the verb. • Active – the subject performs the action, e.g. “I hit the ball.” • Passive – the subject receives the action of the verb, e.g., “I was hit by the ball.” • See the full chart of English tenses in the Appendix, p. 353.
