Re: GR translation: It’s the most disgustin’ thing I ever seed!

[Mark Kohut]

just because I found it and it is as loosely associated as that viral photo
where a guy took a picture of his
parents in a foreign country and years later he met his wife and going
through photos she saw
she was way off to the side of THAT photo he took!

Or maybe a bit closer:

 was reading through the Parable of Sower and noticed something strange. It
isn’t a big think, but isn't it nice when Greek slows you down and you
start to notice God’s words?

The parable starts with the emphasis on what was sown. “And as he sowed,
some seeds (ἃ) fell along the path” (Matt 13:4). “Seeds” is assumed from
the relative pronoun. The antecedent is not explicit, but it is implicit
from the infinitive (ἐν τῷ σπείρειν αὐτὸν).
