Greek Syntax: Article Introducting Prepositional Phrase

Greek NT Syntax

Rick Brannan shows us how to use the The OpenText.org Syntactically Analyzed Greek New Testament. Now, you would think searching for an article that introduces a prepositional phrase would be something you could do with ordinary Bible software, where you can search for individual words and parts of speech in proximity to one another. Well, that only gets you so far (and not far) as Rick demonstrates. Rick notes:

[This search] is more than proximity (occurring close to each other or in sequence); it is functionally that the prepositional phrase in some way further modifies/qualifies/distinguishes the article (which, in cases like these, tends to function like a relative pronoun).

He’s right - take a look!
