rwp @John:5:6 @{Knew that he had been a long time } (\gnous hoti polun ˆd ˆ chronon echei \). How Jesus "knew " (\gnous \, second aorist active participle of \gin “sk “\) we are not told , whether supernatural knowledge (2:24f .|) or observation or overhearing people 's comments . In \ˆd ˆ echei \ we have a progressive present active indicative , "he has already been having much time " (\chronon \, accusative of extent of time ). {Wouldest thou be made whole ?} (\Theleis hugi ˆs genesthai ;\). "Dost thou wish to become whole ?" Predicate nominative \hugi ˆs \ with \genesthai \ (second aorist middle infinitive ). It was a pertinent and sympathetic question .
