Exercise 6
Nominative and Accusative; Definite Article
Parsing
Be sure to identify the word’s stem and the case ending of each word. “2x” means there are
two possibilities.

Translation
The definition of any word that you do not know (except proper names and places) is listed
after the Greek word in parentheses. I don’t define the same word twice in the same verse. If
you do not understand the form of the Greek word I have defined, and many times you will
not, do not worry about it. The day’s own trouble is sufficient. If two or more words that you
do not know occur together, their meaning is given in the footnotes.

Remember to divide the sentence into its parts and to identify the subject, verb, and direct
object (if any). Because you are just starting to read biblical Greek, I can only show you bits
and pieces of verses. In a few chapters the sentences will be fuller and make better sense.

Because you are not parsing in context but looking at words in isolation, some inflected

adjectives.
