[sword-devel] Another KJV markup question

[Greg Hellings]

As for the matter of the Greek text, it reads, as follows (I use angle
brackets to delimit phrases that are made of one word in the Greek):
<and> <having seized> <him> <he chocked him> <saying>

As for how to mark it up, I have not studied the OSIS nor do I use Strongs
or Robinson, so I can't help you out with that.  But just hope that helps.
