| 28. Linguistic Exegesis The spatial adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} ‘there’ frames a future scene introduced by the future middle indicative estai {ἔσται | és-tai} ‘will be.’ The coordinated nominative predicates ho klauthmos kai ho vrygmos {ὁ κλαυθμὸς καὶ ὁ βρυγμὸς | ho klau-thmòs kaí ho bryg-mòs} create a vivid judicial image, with the genitive tōn odontōn {τῶν ὀδόντων | tôn o-dón-tôn} ‘of the teeth’ intensifying the anguish. The particle hótan {ὅταν | hó-tan} introduces a temporal subjunctive clause with ópsēsthe {ὄψησθε | óp-sē-se-the} ‘you see,’ marking a decisive revelation. A sequence of proper names—Ábraàm, I-saàk, I-akṓb—and pántas toûs prophḗtas {πάντας τοὺς προφήτας | pán-tas toûs pro-phḗ-tas} unites patriarchs and prophets. The locative phrase en tē basileíā theoû {ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ θεοῦ | en tē ba-si-leí-a toû the-oû} situates them ‘within the kingdom of God.’ The adversative de {δὲ | dè} contrasts this inclusion with hūmâs de ekballoménous éxō {ὑμᾶς δὲ ἐκβαλλομένους ἔξω | hūmâs dè ek-bal-lo-mé-nous é-xō}, where the participle depicts a state of being cast out, intensified by the adverb éxō, underscoring the stark division between those embraced and those expelled. |
