Therefore the participles themselves do not indicate whether or not the sons of Zebedee were also bowing down and asking, or whether they were standing silently beside their mom. 2 We know that the speaker is female, because the participles are feminine nominative, and the fact that they are nominative indicates that the doer of the participles is the subject of the main verb. 3 Adding Òwith certaintyÓ is an attempt to translate the idiom Òknowing, I knowÓ (ginwvskousa ginwvskw) into English.
