Note 102 — Quest. IX., X., XI. (continued 2)

Και περ is used six times in the New Testament; in two or three of which places it might be rendered, without deviating from the sense of the respective texts, & quidem, as well as quamvis; and I see no reason why the enclitic particle περ, being added to και, should always, without exception, alter the sense thereof, any more than when it is joined to ως, εαν, or ει. And whereas I render και, in ver. 9. But, instead of And, that may be justified by several scriptures, where it is so rendered; as Luke vii. 35. Matth. xii. 39. Acts x. 28. 1 Cor. xvi. 12.
