rwp@Luke:6:48 @{Digged and went deep} (\eskapsen kai ebathunen\). Two first aorist indicatives. Not a _hendiadys_ for dug deep. \Skapt\, to dig, is as old as Homer, as is \bathun\, to make deep. {And laid a foundation} (\kai ethken themelion\). That is the whole point. This wise builder struck the rock before he laid the foundation. {When a flood arose} (\plmmurs genomens\). Genitive absolute. Late word for flood, \plmmura\, only here in the N.T., though in strkjv@Job:40:18|. {Brake against} (\proserxen\). First aorist active indicative from \prosrgnumi\ and in late writers \prosrss\, to break against. Only here in the N.T. strkjv@Matthew:7:25| has \prosepesan\, from \prospipt\, to fall against. {Could not shake it} (\ouk ischusen saleusai autn\). Did not have strength enough to shake it. {Because it had been well builded} (\dia to kals oikodomsthai autn\). Perfect passive articular infinitive after \dia\ and with accusative of general reference.

rwp@Luke:8:43 @{Had spent all her living upon physicians} (\eis iatrous prosanalsasa holon ton bion\). First aorist active participle of an old verb \prosanalisk\, only here in the N.T. But Westcott and Hort reject this clause because it is not in B D Syriac Sinaitic. Whether genuine or not, the other clause in strkjv@Mark:5:26| certainly is not in Luke: "had suffered many things of many physicians." Probably both are not genuine in Luke who takes care of the physicians by the simple statement that it was a chronic case: {could not be healed of any} (\ouk ischusen ap' oudenos therapeuthnai\). He omitted also what Mark has: "and was nothing bettered but rather grew worse."
