rwp - monos

rwp@1Timothy:6:15 @{In its own times} (\kairois idiois\). Locative case. May be "in his own times." See strkjv@2:6|. Clearly not for us to figure out. {Who is the blessed and only Potentate} (\ho makarios kai monos dunasts\). "The happy and alone Potentate." \Dunasts\, old word, in N.T. only here, strkjv@Luke:1:52; strkjv@Acts:8:27| (the Eunuch). See strkjv@1:11| for \makarios\. {The King of kings} (\ho basileus tn basileuontn\). "The King of those who rule as kings." Oriental title. Songs:with "Lord of lords." See strkjv@Revelation:10:16|.

rwp@1Timothy:6:16 @{Who only hath immortality} (\ho monos echn athanasian\). "The one who alone has immortality." \Athanasia\ (\athanatos\, \a\ privative and \thanatos\), old word, in N.T. only here and strkjv@1Corinthians:15:53f|. Domitian demanded that he be addressed as "_Dominus et Deus noster_." Emperor worship may be behind the use of \monos\ (alone) here. {Unapproachable} (\aprositon\). See strkjv@Psalms:104:2|. Late compound verbal adjective (\a\ privative, \pros, ienai\, to go). Here only in N.T. Literary _Koin_ word. {Nor can see} (\oude idein dunatai\). See \aoraton\ in strkjv@Colossians:1:15| and also strkjv@John:1:18; strkjv@Matthew:11:27|. The "amen" marks the close of the doxology as in strkjv@1:17|.

rwp@2Timothy:4:11 @{Only Luke is with me} (\Loukas estin monos met' emou\). Luke is with Paul now in Rome as during the first Roman imprisonment (Philemon:1:24; strkjv@Colossians:4:14|). {Take Mark} (\Markon analabn\). Second aorist active participle of \analamban\, old verb, to pick up, as in strkjv@Ephesians:6:13,16|. "Pick up Mark." {He is useful to me} (\estin moi euchrstos\). See strkjv@2:21| for \euchrstos\. Paul had long ago changed his opinion of Mark (Colossians:4:10|) because Mark had changed his conduct and had made good in his ministry. Now Paul longs to have the man that he once scornfully rejected (Acts:15:37ff.|).

rwp@John:8:16 @{Yea and if I judge} (\kai ean krin de eg\). "And even if I pass judgment." Condition of third class again. {True} (althin). See strkjv@1:9| for \althinos\, genuine, soundly based (cf. \dikaia\ in strkjv@5:30|), "satisfying our perfect conception" (Westcott), not merely true (\althes\) in the particular facts (verse 14|). {For I am not alone} (\hoti monos ouk eimi\). Jesus now takes up the technical criticism in verse 13| after justifying his right to speak concerning himself. {But I and the Father that sent me} (\all eg kai ho pempsas me patr\). See strkjv@16:32| for a like statement about the Father being with Christ. It is not certain that \patr\ is genuine here (omitted by Aleph D, but in B L W), but the Father is clearly meant as in strkjv@7:18,33|. Jesus gives the Father as the second witness.

rwp@Luke:5:21 @{But God alone} (\ei m monos ho theos\). Mark has \heis\ (one) instead of \monos\ (alone).

rwp@Luke:24:18 @{Dost thou alone sojourn?} (\su monos paroikeis;\). \Monos\ is predicate adjective. "Hast thou been dwelling alone (all by thyself)?" {And not know?} (\kai ouk egns;\). Second aorist active indicative and difficult to put into English as the aorist often is. The verb \paroike\ means to dwell beside one, then as a stranger like \paroikoi\ (Ephesians:2:19|). In Jerusalem everybody was talking about Jesus.

rwp@Mark:6:47 @{When even was come} (\opsias genomens\). The second or late evening, six P.M. at this season, or sunset on. {He alone on the land} (\kai autos monos pi ts gs\). Another Markan touch. Jesus had come down out of the mountain where he had prayed to the Father. He is by the sea again in the late twilight. Apparently Jesus remained quite a while, some hours, on the beach. "It was now dark and Jesus had not yet come to them" (John:6:17|).
