Relative Pronoun
(Chapter 14)
Exegetical Insight – Matthew 1:16
We have two genealogies for Christ in Scripture:
 Luke emphasizes Christ’s humanity, and traces
Christ’s lineage through Mary all the way back to
Adam.
 Matthew emphasizes Christ’s right to rule. His
genealogy for Christ is through Joseph and stresses
Jesus as a descendant of David.
 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham (Matt 1:1).

dwID'=14
 Therefore all the generations from Abraham to David
are fourteen generations; and from David to the
deportation to Babylon fourteen generations; and
from the deportation to Babylon to the time of Christ
fourteen generations (Matt 1:17).

Overview of this Lesson
 In this lesson we will learn:
 the relative pronouns “who,” “that,” and
“which”;
 that like any pronoun, their gender and
number are determined by their
antecedent, their case by function in the
sentence.
 that relative clauses are always
dependent clauses, so they cannot
contain the main subject and verb of the
sentence.
English Grammar
 The relative pronouns in English are who,
whom, that, which, and whose.
 Who and whom are used when the antecedent is a
human.
 Who is used for masculine and feminine concepts
and which for neuter.
 That can refer to either.
 The book that was destroyed was my favorite.
 I helped the lady that was injured in the wreck.
 Whose usually refers to humans, but is also
used for non-humans.
English Grammar
 Relative pronouns do not ask questions;
that is the role of interrogative
pronouns.
 A relative pronoun introduces a clause
that usually modifies a noun.
 The teacher whom the students love is
tough but fair.
 I am enjoying the Greek New Testament
that I bought yesterday.

 A relative clause is the relative pronoun and
the clause it introduces. They are always
dependent clauses and will therefore never
contain the main verb of the sentence.
Forms of the Relative Pronoun



Notice the similarity between these forms and the article; accent
distinguishes between them in the nominative.
Number and gender are determined by antecedent, case by
function in the sentence (see Attraction, p. 120, for exception).
Keep the entire relative clause together as a unit when dividing up
a sentence for translation.
For Next Week
 Study the vocab from chapter 14.
 Do workbook exercise 14.
 Read chapter 15 on Introduction to
Verbs, pp. 121-128; congratulations
for making it through nouns and
adjectives and 64% of the total word
count of the NT!
