rwp@Luke:7:6 @{Went with them} (\eporeueto sun autois\). Imperfect indicative middle. He started to go along with them. {Now} (\d\). Already like Latin _jam_. In kjv@1Corinthians:4:8| \nun d\ like _jam nunc_. {Sent friends} (\epempsen philous\). This second embassy also, wanting in Matthew's narrative. He "puts the message of both into the mouth of the centurion himself" (Plummer). Note saying (\legn\), present active singular participle, followed by direct quotation from the centurion himself. {Trouble not thyself} (\M skullou\). Present middle (direct use) imperative of \skull\, old verb originally meaning to skin, to mangle, and then in later Greek to vex, trouble, annoy. Frequent in the papyri in this latter sense. {For I am not worthy that} (\ou gar hikanos eimi hina\). The same word \hikanos\, not \axios\, as in kjv@Matthew:8:8|, which see for discussion, from \hik, hikan\, to fit, to reach, be adequate for. \Hina\ in both places as common in late Greek. See kjv@Matthew:8:8| also for "roof" (\stegn\, covering).
