Matthew 1:25

έγίνωσκεν impf. ind. act. от γινώσκω (G1097) знать (употребляется в сексуальном смысле, сходно севр. словом ידע, "познавать"). Impf. указывает продолженное или неисполненное действие в прошлом. Откладывание сексуального союза согласуется с первоначальными колебаниями Иосифа и обеспечивает непорочную сущность рождения (Gundry).
έτεκεν aor. ind. act. от τίκτω (G5088).
Aor. соответствует исполнению обетования (DA),
έκάλεσεν aor. ind. act. от καλέω (G2564).
Aor. указывает на послушание Иосифа (DA; ВВС).
