rwp@John:6:68 @{Lord, to whom shall we go?} (\Kurie, pros tina apeleusometha;\)...the crowd left, they dismissed it...

rwp@Luke:14:4 @{Took him} (\epilabomenos\). Second aorist middle participle of \epilamban\, an old verb, only in the middle in the N.T. It is not redundant use, "took and healed," but "took hold of him and healed him." Only instance in the N.T. of its use in a case of healing. {Let him go} (\apelusen\). Probably, dismissed from the company to get him away from these critics.

rwp@Luke:16:8 @{His lord commended} (\epinesen ho kurios\). The steward's lord praised him though he himself had been wronged again (see verse 1| "wasting his goods"). {The unrighteous steward} (\ton oikonomon ts adikias\). Literally, the steward of unrighteousness. The genitive is the case of genus, species, the steward distinguished by unrighteousness as his characteristic. See "the mammon of unrighteousness" in verse 9|. See "the forgetful hearer" in strkjv@James:1:25|. It is a vernacular idiom common to Hebrew, Aramaic, and the _Koin_. {Wisely} (\phronims\). An old adverb, though here alone in the N.T. But the adjective \phronimos\ from which it comes occurs a dozen times as in strkjv@Matthew:10:16|. It is from \phrone\ and that from \phrn\, the mind (1Corinthians:14:20|)...and he was apparently dismissed from...{For} (\hoti\). Probably by this second \hoti\ Jesus means to say that he cites this example of shrewdness because it illustrates the point. "This is the moral of the whole parable. Men of the world in their dealings with men like themselves are more prudent than the children of light in their intercourse with one another" (Plummer). We all know how stupid Christians can be in their co-operative work in the kingdom of God, to go no further. {Wiser than} (\phronimteroi huper\). Shrewder beyond, a common Greek idiom.

rwp@Mark:5:39 @{Make a tumult} (\thorubeisthe\)...Middle voice. Jesus had dismissed one...(verse 37|), but finds the house occupied by the hired mourners making bedlam (\thorubos\) as if that showed grief with their ostentatious noise. strkjv@Matthew:9:23| spoke of flute-players (\aultas\) and the hubbub of the excited throng (\thoruboumenon\. Cf. strkjv@Mark:14:2; strkjv@Acts:20:1,21,34|). Mark, Matthew, and Luke all quote Jesus as saying that "the child is not dead, but sleepeth." Jesus undoubtedly meant that she was not dead to stay dead, though some hold that the child was not really dead. It is a beautiful word (she is {sleeping}, \katheudei\) that Jesus uses of death.

rwp@Philippians:4:21 @{They that are of Caesar's household} (\hoi ek ts Kaisaros oikias\)...case may have been dismissed by...
