“Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:29 Let two or three of the prophets - Not more, at one meeting. Speak - One after another, expounding the scripture.
1Co 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three. Let two or three prophets speak at a meeting. In the Greek, "two or three" are in the nominative. In 1Co 14:27, in which speaking with tongues is treated, the numerals are in the accusative case with a preposition. Hence there, with Macknight, I have referred to them to the sentences spoken. If the persons speaking were meant in 1Co 14:27, the construction would be as in this verse. Let the others judge. Let them discern whether they speak by inspiration.
Let the Prophets speake two or three, and let the other iudge.
