Ἰωάννης Μακαρθύρα κατὰ Μᾶρκον Δρισκῶλον

Here's another great little story written by a student who recently completed CKI's Greek 1 class. The student shared this story (about the recent Mark Driscoll and John Macarthur fiasco) in class, asked some questions of his classmates (questions not included here), and got a few laughs from the story along the way. Give it a read, it has a fun twist at the end and I think you'll enjoy it! 

ὁ Μᾶρκος Δρισκῶλος εὗρεν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ  Ἰωάννου Μακαρθύρας.
Ἰωάννης δὲ ἤνοιξεν τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν περὶ ἐτέραν πυράν.
ὁ Μᾶρκος οῦ ἐφίλησα τούτους λόγους.
καὶ ὁ Μᾶρκος ἔλαβεν τὸν καινὸν βίβλον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν· ἄνθρωποι, λάβετε βίβλον μοῦ.
ἡ ἐκκλησία τοῦ  Ἰωάννου ἔλαβεν βιβλία πολλά ἀπὸ Μᾶρκου.
οἱ μαθηταὶ τοῦ  Ἰωάννου ἔθεντο τὰς βίβλους ἐν ἐτέρῳ πυρί.

Ἰησοῦς ἐγείρει τὸν Θεόφιλον

Here is a fun, short story created by a student at the end of CKI's Greek 1 course.  He had the opportunity to present this in class and ask his peers questions.  Stuff like this tends to make a teacher proud!  I'm thankful to work with such great students.

Θεόφιλος περιπάτει ἐν τὴ ὁδῷ.

πίπτει Θεόφιλος ἐν τὴ ὁδῷ.

νῦν ἀκάθαρτος ὁ Θεόφιλός ἐστιν.     

τότε  Ἰησοῦς ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸν Θεόφιλον.

Ἰησοῦς ἐγείρει τὸν Θεόφιλον ἀπὸ τῆς ὁδοῦ καὶ ἐκαθάρισεν αὐτόν.

νῦν ὁ Θεόφιλος καθαρός ἐστιν.

ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ὁ υἱός αὐτοῦ

The story that follows was composed by one of CKI's students at the end of Greek 1. He also created questions, however, those are not included here. The story is fun, accessible and a wonderful example of how CKI helps its students progress in Greek, even after just twelve hours of class time! Enjoy!

ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ὁ υἱός αὐτοῦ περιπατοῦσιν ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδόν. 
ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ὁ υἱός βλέπουσι δένδρον τοῦ καρποῦ. 
ὁ πατὴρ λέγει τῶ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ· ἀνάβηθι ἐπὶ τὸν δένδρον καὶ δός μοι πολὺν καρπόν. 
οὖν ὁ ἀγαθὸς ὁ υἱός ἀνέβησεν ἐπὶ τὸν δένδρον ἀλλὰ κατέπεσεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν. 
ὁ πατὴρ ἔκραξεν· υἱέ μου, πῶς ἔχεις; 
ὁ υἱός εἶπεν· ἔχω εὖ, ὦ πάτερ. 
τότε πάλιν ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ὁ υἱός αὐτοῦ περιπατοῦσιν ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδόν.

ἡ γυνὴ καὶ τὸ κυνάριον

The following is a story composed by one of CKI's students at the end of Greek 1.  She presented this story to the class and, in addition, asked her classmates a handful of questions (not included here).  Enjoy!

βραδέως ἡ γυνὴ περιπάτει ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.

ἡ γυνὴ βλέπει τὸ κυνάριον.

ἐκ τοῦ φόβου τὸ κυνάριον ὑλακτεῖ.

ἡ γυνὴ ἐπαίρει τὸ κυνάριον καὶ φέρει αὐτὸ εἰς τὸν οἶκον.

νῦν οἰκοῦσιν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ.
