OT-PROPHET-MINOR.filter - rwp days:

rwp@John:13:29 @{Some thought} (\tines edokoun\). Imperfect active of \doke\. Mere inference in their ignorance. {The bag} (\to glssokomon\). See on ¯12:6| for this word. {What things we have need of} (\hn chreian echomen\). Antecedent (\tauta\) of the relative (\hon\) not expressed. {For the feast} (\eis tn heortn\). The feast of unleavened bread beginning after the passover meal and lasting eight days. If this was twenty-four hours ahead of the passover meal, there was no hurry for next day would be in ample time. {Or that he should give something to the poor} (\ tois ptchois hina ti di\). Another alternative in their speculation on the point. Note prolepsis of \tois ptchois\ (dative case) before \hina di\ (final clause with \hina\ and second aorist active subjunctive of \didmi\).

rwp@John:21:1 @{Manifested himself} (\ephanerosen heauton\). First aorist active indicative of \phanero\ with the reflexive pronoun (cf. strkjv@7:4; strkjv@13:4|). For the passive see strkjv@1:31; strkjv@21:14|. Jesus was only seen during the forty days now and then (Acts:1:3|), ten instances being recorded. The word \phanero\ is often used of Christ on earth (John:1:31; strkjv@2:11; strkjv@1Peter:1:20; strkjv@1John:1:2|), of his works (John:3:5|), of the second coming (1John:2:28|), of Christ in glory (Colossians:3:4; strkjv@1John:3:2|). {At} (\epi\). By or upon. {Of Tiberias} (\ts Tiberiados\). As in strkjv@6:1| instead of the usual "Sea of Galilee." Tiberias, the capital city of Galilee, gave this epithet to the Sea of Galilee. This is not the appearance in Galilee prearranged by Jesus (Mark:16:7; strkjv@Matthew:28:7,16|).

rwp@Luke:9:36 @{When the voice came} (\en toi genesthai tn phnn\). Another example of Luke's idiom, this time with the second aorist middle infinitive. Literally, "on the coming as to the voice" (accusative of general reference). It does not mean that it was "after" the voice was past that Jesus was found alone, but simultaneously with it (ingressive aorist tense). {Alone} (\monos\). Same adjective in strkjv@Mark:9:8; strkjv@Matthew:17:8| translated "only." Should be rendered "alone" there also. {They held their peace} (\esigsan\). Ingressive aorist active of common verb \siga\, became silent. In strkjv@Mark:9:9; strkjv@Matthew:17:9|, Jesus commanded them not to tell till His Resurrection from the dead. Luke notes that they in awe obeyed that command and it turns out that they finally forgot the lesson of this night's great experience. By and by they will be able to tell them, but not "in those days." {Which they had seen} (\hn herakan\). Attraction of the relative \ha\ into the case of the unexpressed antecedent \toutn\. Perfect active indicative \herakan\ with _Koin_ (papyri) form for the ancient \heraksin\ changed by analogy to the first aorist ending in \-an\ instead of \-asin\.

rwp@Matthew:9:14 @{The disciples of John} (\hoi mathtai Ianou\). One is surprised to find disciples of the Baptist in the role of critics of Christ along with the Pharisees. But John was languishing in prison and they perhaps were blaming Jesus for doing nothing about it. At any rate John would not have gone to Levi's feast on one of the Jewish fast-days. "The strict asceticism of the Baptist (11:18|) and of the Pharisaic rabbis (Luke:18:12|) was imitated by their disciples" (McNeile).
