More information about this topic
When the passive voice is translated, a form of the verb to be is before it and the word by is after it. The word in the nominative case is often after the word by or with. A word in the accusative case is often before the verb to be.

Could this be changed to this?
When the passive voice is translated into English, a form of the verb to be is before it and the word by is after it. The word in the nominative case is often after the word by or with. A word in the accusative case is often before the verb to be.

Hmmm. I don't understand those last two sentences. Are they about English or Greek or both?

Matt 1:16 by whom Jesus was born. "Jesus" has nominative case.
Matt 1:20 the one [Nominative] who is conceived [Passive Participle Nominative] in her is conceived [no Greek word] by [ek] the Holy Spirit [Genitive]

I don't expect to see accusative case with a passive construction.

I'll come back to this.
