OT-POET.filter - rwp occasions:

rwp@2Corinthians:11:12 @{That I may cut off occasion} (\hina ekkops tn aphormn\). Purpose clause with \hina\ and first aorist active subjunctive of \ekkopt\, old verb to cut out or off (Matthew:3:10; strkjv@5:30|). See strkjv@2Corinthians:5:12| for \aphormn\. {From them which desire an occasion} (\tn thelontn aphormn\). Ablative case after \ekkops\. There are always some hunting for occasions to start something against preachers. {They may be found} (\heurethsin\). First aorist passive subjunctive of \heurisk\, to find with final conjunction \hina\.

rwp@Hebrews:1:9 @{Hath anointed thee} (\echrisen se\). First aorist active indicative of \chri\, to anoint, from which verb the verbal \Christos\ (Anointed One) comes. See Christ's use of \echrisen\ in strkjv@Luke:4:18| from strkjv@Isaiah:66:1|. {With the oil of gladness} (\elaion agalliases\). Accusative case with \echrisen\ (second accusative besides \se\). Perhaps the festive anointing on occasions of joy (12:2|). See strkjv@Luke:1:44|. {Fellows} (\metochous\). Old word from \metech\, partners, sharers, in N.T. only in Hebrews save strkjv@Luke:5:7|. Note \para\ with accusative here, beside, beyond, above (by comparison, extending beyond).

rwp@Luke:8:16 @{When he hath lighted a lamp} (\luchnon hapsas\). It is a portable lamp (\luchnon\) that one lights (\hapsas\ aorist active participle of \hapt\, to kindle, fasten to, light). {With a vessel} (\skeuei\, instrumental case of \skeuos\). Here strkjv@Mark:4:21| has the more definite figure "under the bushel" as has strkjv@Matthew:5:15|. {Under the bed} (\hupokat klins\). Here strkjv@Mark:4:21| has the regular \hupo tn klinn\ instead of the late compound \hupokat\. Ragg notes that Matthew distributes the sayings of Jesus given here by strkjv@Luke:8:16-18; strkjv@Mark:4:21-25| concerning the parable of the lamp and gives them in three separate places (Matthew:5:15; strkjv@10:26; strkjv@13:12|). That is true, but it does not follow that Mark and Luke have bunched together separate sayings or that Matthew has scattered sayings delivered only on one occasion. One of the slowest lessons for some critics to learn is that Jesus repeated favourite sayings on different occasions and in different groupings just as every popular preacher and teacher does today. See on ¯Mark:4:21| for further discussion of the lamp and stand. {May see the light} (\Blepsin to phs\). In strkjv@Matthew:5:16| Jesus has it "may see your good works." The purpose of light is to let one see something else, not the light. Note present subjunctive (\blepsin\), linear action "Jesus had kindled a light within them. They must not hide it, but must see that it spreads to others" (Plummer). The parable of the lamp throws light on the parable of the sower.
