New Testament / Koine Greek class #21: Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook, William (Bill) Mounce, 19

Lecture #21 in New Testament or Koine Greek covers chapter 19 in William (Bill) Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek Workbook, which is about future active and future middle indicative verbs. The class is taught by independent Baptist professor Thomas Ross.

The chapter exercises cover, in order, portions of John 11:48; John 9:21; Luke 12:17; John 8:12; 1 Corinthians 16:4;. Matthew 12:19; Matthew 4:10; Matthew 27:42; Luke 1:13; Philippians 4:19; John 5:25; Mark 13:13; John 14:12; John 4:22-23; John 13:33; Mark 12:29-31; Deuteronomy 28:41; Exodus 23:24; Genesis 12:1-2; Matthew 5:48; Romans 1:17; John 14:15; Mark 9:35; Acts 13:22.

Greek sentences in the chapter made up by Bill Mounce are also translated. Exodus 23:24 (LXX) is lightly edited.
