(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

If these shall hold their peace (ean houtoi siò„pè„sousin). A condition of the first class, determined as fulfilled. The use of ean rather than ei cuts no figure in the case (See note on Act 8:31; note on 1Th 3:8; and the note on 1Jo 5:15). The kind of condition is determined by the mode which is here indicative. The future tense by its very nature does approximate the aorist subjunctive, but after all it is the indicative.

The stones will cry out (hoi lithoi kraxousin). A proverb for the impossible happening.
