Christological implications of the three-fold interpretation of verbs 43 Acts 1,11 and the strong agentive property of instigation (tra. pass.) in Mark 14,41 and Heb 9,28. Significantly, the study of Heb 9,28 identified thematic considerations that argue strongly against its traditional inter- pretation. NT authors on occasion employed verb forms that admit to a three-fold grammatical interpretation. The use of these forms, whether unintentional or motivated by thematic, narrative, rhetorical, or other considerations, would have permitted a simultaneous address of interpreters with diffe- ring beliefs about the agency of Jesus in his passion, death, and ascension and would have accommodated multiple and varying possibilities Chris- tological development in the context of preaching and teaching. In light of this, studies of such occurrences require a preliminary determination of the contextual viability of each grammatically possible interpretation and then a development of the implications of all contextually viable in- terpretations. Such an approach both respects the text and, as indicated in the previous studies, opens new or underdeveloped avenues for the thematic, narrative, and rhetorical description of the content of texts.
