Exegesis

Finally, the prepositional phrase perí pasôn hôn eîdon dynameōn {περὶ πασῶν ὧν εἶδον δυνάμεων | perí pasôn hôn eîdon dynameōn} “for all the mighty works they had seen” uses peri plus genitive in a causal sense, with the relative clause specifying the content. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“And as He drew near” in formal, “When He drew near” in dynamic), the location remains “the Mount of Olives,” and the causal force of peri is reflected by “for all the mighty works they had seen” in formal and “for all the miracles they had witnessed” in dynamic.
