{Signifying} (s(886d)ain(936e)). Present active participle of
semain(935c), old verb to give a sign (s(886d)eion) as in Ac 25:27 ,
and the whole phrase repeated in 18:32 and nearly so in
21:19 . The indirect question here and in 18:32 has the
imperfect emellen with present infinitive rather than the usual
present mellei retained while in 21:19 the future indicative
doxasei occurs according to rule. The point in poi(9369)
(qualitative relative in the instrumental case with hanat(9369))
is the Cross (lifted up) as the kind of death before Christ.
