2Corinthians:11:25 @{Thrice was I beaten with rods} (\tris errabdisthn\). Roman (Gentile) punishment. It was forbidden to Roman citizens by the _Lex Porcia_, but Paul endured it in Philippi (Acts:16:23,37|), the only one of the three named in Acts. First aorist passive of \rabdiz\, from \rabdos\, rod, _Koin_ word, in N.T. only here and strkjv@Acts:16:22| which see. {Once was I stoned} (\hapax elithasthn\). Once for all \hapax\ means. At Lystra (Acts:14:5-19|). On \lithaz\ _Koin_ verb from \lithos\, see on ¯Acts:5:26|. {Thrice I suffered shipwreck} (\tris enauagsa\). First aorist active of \nauage\, from \nauagos\, shipwrecked (\naus\, ship, \agnumi\, to break). Old and common verb, in N.T. only here and strkjv@1Timothy:1:19|. We know nothing of these. The one told in strkjv@Acts:27| was much later. What a pity that we have no data for all these varied experiences of Paul. {Night and day} (\nuchthmeron\) Rare word. Papyri give \nuktmar\ with the same idea (night-day). {Have I been in the deep} (\en ti buthi pepoika\). Vivid dramatic perfect active indicative of \poie\, "I have done a night and day in the deep." The memory of it survives like a nightmare. \Buthos\ is old word (only here in N.T.) for bottom, depth of the sea, then the sea itself. Paul does not mean that he was a night and day under the water, not a Jonah experience, only that he was far out at sea and shipwrecked. This was one of the three shipwrecks-already named.
rwp@John:19:31 @{The Preparation} (\paraskeu\). Friday. See verse 14|. {Might not remain} (\m meini\). Negative final clause with \hina m\ and first aorist active (constative) subjunctive of \men\. {A high day} (\megal\). A "great" day, since "the sabbath day following synchronized with the first day of unleavened bread which was a 'great' day" (Bernard). A double reason therefore for wanting the bodies removed before sunset when the Sabbath began. {That their legs might be broken} (\hina kateagsin auton ta skel\). Purpose clause with \hina\ and the second aorist passive subjunctive of \katagnumi\ with the augment retained in the subjunctive, a "false augment" common in later Greek as in the future in strkjv@Matthew:12:20| with this verb (Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 365). This _crurifragium_ was done with a heavy mallet and ended the sufferings of the victim. {Legs} (\skel\). Old word, here only in N.T. {Might be taken away} (\arthsin\). First aorist passive subjunctive of \air\ with \hina\ also.
rwp@Matthew:13:2 @{And all the multitude stood on the beach} (\kai pas ho ochlos epi ton aigialon histkei\). Past perfect tense of \histmi\ with imperfect sense, had taken a stand and so stood. Note accusative also with \epi\ upon the beach where the waves break one after the other (\aigialos\ is from \hals\, sea, and \agnumi\, to break, or from \aiss\, to rush). Jesus had to get into a boat and sit down in that because of the crush of the crowd.
