Note 50 — SENTENCES.

Reading edition

Προς το θεαθηναι τοις ανθρωποις. Matt. xxiii. 5. The following sentences seem defective either in the construction, or the order of the words: “Why do ye that, which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?⸺The shew bread, which is not lawful to eat, but for the priests alone.” Luke vi. 2, 4. The Construction may be rectified by supplying it; “which it is not lawful to do; which it is not lawful to eat:” or the order of the words in this manner; “to do which, to eat which, is not lawful:” where the Infinitive to do, to eat, does the office of the Nominative Case, and the Relative which is in the Objective Case.
