SIBI-P1 Translation G1522-04
was favorably heard
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist passive indicative, third singular, denotes a completed action in which the subject received the action of being heard. "Was favorably heard" preserves the passive voice and reflects εἰσακούω’s sense of receptive, responsive hearing rather than mere auditory perception. |
