{A guide of the blind} (hod(8867)on tuphl(936e)). Accusative
hod(8867)on in predicate with einai to agree with seauton,
accusative of general reference with infinitive einai in
indirect discourse after pepoithas. Late word (Polybius,
Plutarch) from hodos, way, and h(8867)eomai, to lead, one who
leads the way. Tuphl(936e) is objective genitive plural. The Jews
were meant by God to be guides for the Gentiles, for salvation is
of the Jews ( Joh 4:22 ). {A light} (ph(9373)). "A light for those
in darkness" ( (936e) en skotei, objective genitive again). But
this intention of God about the Jews had resulted in conceited
arrogance on their part.
