35 Christological implications of the three-fold interpretation of verbs 1,11.22); ἀναφέρω (be brought up / come up / bring oneself up, Luke 24,51); and ἐπαίρω (be raised / rise / raise oneself, Acts 1,9). These occu- rrences have Christological significance because they appear exclusively in discussions or descriptions of Jesus’ passion (παραδίδωμι), death (προσφέρω), and ascension (ἀναλαμβάνω, ἀναφέρω, and ἐπαίρω). The following studies develop the Christological implications of the contextua- lly viable interpretations of three occurrences that concern Jesus’ passion (Mark 14,41), death (Heb 9,28), and ascension (Acts 1,11). These studies identify contextual thematic, narrative, and grammatical considerations that argue for or against the viability of each grammatically possible interpretation and develop briefly the Christological implications of the differences in attributions of agency and in perspectives of each viable interpretation. The studies give special attention to what may be called the “tradi- tional” interpretation of these occurrences. Although these occurrences admit to a three-fold possible grammatical interpretation in Greek, Latin and modern Germanic and Romance languages cannot accommodate this three-fold interpretation with a single verb form. As a result, trans- lations into these languages can reflect only one grammatical interpreta- tion. Most modern English translations of these seventeen occurrences follow the interpretation of the Vg, which consistently translates these occurrences as passivized active usages of transference10. In response, the studies give special attention to contextual considerations that argue for or against the “traditional” interpretations. 4. The Three-fold Interpretation of παραδίδωμι in Mark 14,4 The following translations illustrate the three grammatically possible interpretations of παραδίδωμι (be handed over, come over / hand oneself over) in Mark 14,41: tra. actt. The Son of Man is handed over into the hands of sinners mot. pass. The Son of Man comes over into the hands of sinners tra. pass. The Son of Man hands himself over into the hands of sinners παραδίδοται ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν With the first interpretation (tra. act.; cf.
