OT-PROPHET.filter - rwp Luke:11:54:

rwp@Acts:23:21 @{Do not therefore yield unto them} (\Su oun m peisthis autois\). First aorist passive subjunctive of \peith\, common verb, here to be persuaded by, to listen to, to obey, to yield to. With negative and rightly. Do not yield to them (dative) at all. On the aorist subjunctive with \m\ in prohibitions against committing an act see Robertson, _Grammar_, pp. 851-4. {For there lie in wait} (\enedreuousin gar\). Present active indicative of \enedreu\, old verb from \enedra\ (verse 16|), in the N.T. only here and strkjv@Luke:11:54| which see. {Till they have slain him} (\hes hou anelsin auton\). Same idiom as in verse 12| save that here we have \anelsin\ (second aorist active subjunctive) instead of \apokteinsin\ (another word for kill), "till they slay him." {Looking for the promise from thee} (\prosdechomenoi tn apo sou epaggelian\). This item is all that is needed to put the scheme through, the young man shrewdly adds.

rwp@Luke:11:54 @{Laying wait for him} (\enedreuontes auton\). An old verb from \en\ and \hedra\, a seat, so to lie in ambush for one. Here only and strkjv@Acts:23:21| in the N.T. Vivid picture of the anger of these rabbis who were treating Jesus as if he were a beast of prey. {To catch something out of his mouth} (\threusai to ek tou stomatos autou\). An old Greek verb, though here only in the N.T., from \thra\ (cf. strkjv@Romans:11:9|), to ensnare, to catch in hunting, to hunt. These graphic words from the chase show the rage of the rabbis toward Jesus. Luke gives more details here than in strkjv@20:45-47; strkjv@Matthew:23:1-7|, but there is no reason at all why Jesus should not have had this conflict at the Pharisee's breakfast before that in the temple in the great Tuesday debate.
