Don Johnson,
Can you please help me with a greek question?
I was reading through Matt 23 today (multitasking as I watched my children’s Bible Quiz tournament for a few hours). Actually, my reading that passage was related to this thread because I was thinking about that idea I mentioned in an earlier post of dual intent in Bible passages: it applied to the hearers then and it also applies to us now. IOW, Jesus said Matt 23 back then to Pharisees, but aren’t there still “Pharisees” today to whom it would speak? Anyway, my strong’s is on my laptop which I did not have with me, so I made myself a note to look up this verse- which I just did now- but the strong’s isn’t helping me with the gender here (I bolded the word in question):

Matt 23:34 ¶ Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

Thank you in advance.
