OT-PROPHET.filter - rwp Luke:7:42:



rwp@Acts:4:33 @{Gave their witness} (\apedidoun to marturion\). Imperfect active of \apodid“mi\, old verb to give back, to pay back a debt (Luke:7:42|), but a late omega form instead of the usual \apedidosan\. They kept on giving their witness with power after the answer to their prayer (verse 31|). {Of the resurrection} (\tˆs anastase“s\). It was on this issue that the Sadducees had arrested them (4:1-3|).

rwp@Luke:7:42 @{Will love him most} (\pleion agapˆsei auton\). Strictly, comparative {more}, \pleion\, not superlative \pleista\, but most suits the English idiom best, even between two. Superlative forms are vanishing before the comparative in the _Koin‚_. This is the point of the parable, the attitude of the two debtors toward the lender who forgave both of them (Plummer).

rwp@Matthew:18:25 @{Had not wherewith to pay} (\mˆ echontos autou apodounai\). There is no "wherewith" in the Greek. This idiom is seen in strkjv@Luke:7:42; strkjv@14:14; strkjv@Hebrews:6:13|. Genitive absolute though \auton\ in the same clause as often in the N.T. {To be sold} (\prathˆnai\). First aorist passive infinitive of \piprask“\. This was according to the law (Exodus:22:3; strkjv@Leviticus:25:39,47|). Wife and children were treated as property in those primitive times.
