rwp@Luke:6:10 @{He looked round about on them all} (\periblepsamenos\). First aorist middle participle as in strkjv@Mark:3:5|, the middle voice giving a personal touch to it all. Mark adds "with anger" which Luke here does not put in. All three Gospels have the identical command: {Stretch forth thy hand} (\exteinon tn cheira sou\). First aorist active imperative. {Stretch out}, clean out, full length. All three Gospels also have the first aorist passive indicative \apekatestath\ with the double augment of the double compound verb \apokathistmi\. As in Greek writers, so here the double compound means complete restoration to the former state.

rwp@Mark:3:5 @{When he had looked round on them with anger} (\periblepsamenos autous met' orgs\). Mark has a good deal to say about the looks of Jesus with this word (3:5,34; strkjv@5:37; strkjv@9:8; strkjv@10:23; strkjv@11:11|) as here. Songs:Luke only once, strkjv@Luke:6:10|. The eyes of Jesus swept the room all round and each rabbinical hypocrite felt the cut of that condemnatory glance. This indignant anger was not inconsistent with the love and pity of Jesus. Murder was in their hearts and Jesus knew it. Anger against wrong as wrong is a sign of moral health (Gould). {Being grieved at the hardness of their hearts} (\sunlupoumenos epi ti prsei ts kardias autn\). Mark alone gives this point. The anger was tempered by grief (Swete). Jesus is the Man of Sorrows and this present participle brings out the continuous state of grief whereas the momentary angry look is expressed by the aorist participle above. Their own heart or attitude was in a state of moral ossification (\prsis\) like hardened hands or feet. \Pros\ was used of a kind of marble and then of the _callus_ on fractured bones. "They were hardened by previous conceptions against this new truth" (Gould). See also on ¯Matthew:12:9-14|.

rwp@Mark:3:34 @{Looking round on them} (\periblepsamenos\). Another of Mark's life-like touches. Jesus calls those who do the will of God his mother, brothers, and sisters. This does not prove that the sisters were actually there. The brothers were hostile and that gives point to the tragic words of Jesus. One's heart goes out to Mary who has to go back home without even seeing her wondrous Son. What did it all mean to her at this hour?

rwp@Mark:9:8 @{Suddenly looking round about} (\exapina periblepsamenoi\). strkjv@Matthew:17:8| has it "lifting up their eyes." Mark is more graphic. The sudden glance around on the mountain side when the cloud with Moses and Elijah was gone. {Jesus only with themselves} (\meth' heautn ei m Isoun monon\). Mark shows their surprise at the situation. They were sore afraid (Matthew:17:6|) before Jesus touched them.

rwp@Mark:10:23 @{Looked round about} (\periblepsamenos\). Another picture of the looks of Jesus and in Mark alone as in strkjv@3:5,34|. "To see what impression the incident had made on the Twelve" (Bruce). "When the man was gone the Lord's eye swept round the circle of the Twelve, as he drew for them the lesson of the incident" (Swete). {How hardly} (\Ps duskols\). Songs:Luke:18:24|. strkjv@Matthew:19:23| has it: "With difficulty (\duskols\) shall a rich man." See on Matthew for this word.

rwp@Mark:11:11 @{When he had looked round about upon all things} (\periblepsamenos panta\). Another Markan detail in this aorist middle participle. Mark does not give what strkjv@Luke:19:39-55| has nor what strkjv@Matthew:21:10-17| does. But it is all implied in this swift glance at the temple before he went out to Bethany with the Twelve, {it being now eventide} (\opse d ouss ts hrs\). Genitive absolute, the hour being already late. What a day it had been! What did the apostles think now?

rwp@Revelation:11:3 @{I will give} (\ds\). Future active of \didmi\. The speaker may be God (Beckwith) or Christ (Swete) as in strkjv@2:13; strkjv@21:6| or his angel representative (22:7,12ff.|). The idiom that follows is Hebraic instead of either the infinitive after \didmi\ as in strkjv@2:7; strkjv@3:21; strkjv@6:4; strkjv@7:2; strkjv@13:7,15; strkjv@16:8| or \hina\ with the subjunctive (9:5; strkjv@19:8|) we have \kai prophteusousin\ (and they shall prophesy). {Unto my two witnesses} (\tois dusin martusin mou\). Dative case after \ds\. The article seems to point to two well-known characters, like Elijah, Elisha, but there is no possible way to determine who they are. All sorts of identifications have been attempted. {Clothed} (\periblmenous\). Perfect passive participle of \periball\ as often before (7:9,13; strkjv@10:1|, etc.). But Aleph A P Q here read the accusative plural in \-ous\, while C has the nominative in \-oi\. Charles suggests a mere slip for the nominative, but Hort suggests a primitive error in early MSS. for the dative \peribeblemenois\ agreeing with \martusin\. {In sackcloth} (\sakkous\). Accusative retained with this passive verb as in strkjv@7:9,13|. See strkjv@6:12| for \sakkos\ and also strkjv@Matthew:3:4|. The dress suited the message (Matthew:11:21|).
