Exegesis
The relative clause Eph hon an ideis to pneuma katabainon kai menon ep auton {Ἐφʼ ὃν ἂν ἴδῃς τὸ πνεῦμα καταβαῖνον καὶ μένον ἐπʼ αὐτόν | Eph hon an í-dēs to pnêu-ma ka-ta-bai-non kai mé-non ep au-tón} combines the relative pronoun hon with the particle an and a subjunctive verb ideis to form an indefinite relative construction, “upon whomever you might see,” expressing contingency. The two present participles katabainon and menon depict the Spirit’s action as both descending and continuing to remain, stressing permanence rather than a momentary visitation.
