TL,

With all due respect, you will need to do some more homework on the meaning of a passive greek verb. Its something for which there is not an english equivalent so it takes some effort to wrap one’s mind around. Wallace and Mounce have well respected Greek Grammar. Here is their definition from : http://www.bcbsr.com/greek/grklnk.html?SUBMIT=Greek+Grammar+Menu

C. Passive Voice

In general it can be said that in the passive voice the subject is acted upon or receives the action expressed by the verb. No volition – nor even necessarily awareness of the action – is implied on the part of the subject. That is, the subject may or may not be aware, its volition may or may not be involved. But these things are not stressed when the passive is used.
