Footnotes
| 85 | speaking the father. "the father" is in the accusative case meaning it is the direct object of the verb "he was speaking". The construction τὸν Πατέρα ἔλεγεν is not a periphrasis for “he was speaking about the Father” (which would require a preposition like περὶ or ἕνεκα with the genitive or dative). Instead, it reflects the double accusative construction typical of verbs of naming, calling, or designating. The words spoken, from the standpoint of cyclical time, mean the son and the father both speak each other into reality—words realized. They bear witness to each other. Two. And where within time they are realized, matters not to chronological understanding, because they are realized from within the center to the outer "broadway" or "circuit" of time, wherever they purpose to. "He will turn the heart of the fathers toward the [same] heart of the sons" (Malachi 4:6) |
