Cool :-)

I agree with your other "informant". It is very, very fitting to use
the aorist aspect here. Snap ... you caught it :-)

You almost make me regret not bring the Greek Bible with me on this
trip. I actually had it in my hands and was thinking about it,
Christmas time and all. We used to always read Luke with our first
year students at this time of the year.

Merry Christmas to you ... maybe too early, but ... I just read in the
paper that there is a major fire along the train tracks so the line is
down again. Who knows when I'll get home again.

Daniel
