Acts 24:11
Seeing that thou canst take knowledge ( δυναμενου σου επιγνωνα ). Genitive absolute again. The same word and form ( επιγνωνα ) used by Tertullus, if in Greek, in verse 8 to Felix. Paul takes it up and repeats it.Not more than twelve days ( ου πλειους ημερα δωδεκα ). Here η (than) is absent without change of case to the ablative as usually happens. But this idiom is found in the Koine (Robertson, Grammar, p. 666).
Since ( αφ' ης ). Supply ημερας, "from which day."
To worship ( προσκυνησων ). One of the few examples of the future participle of purpose so common in the old Attic.
