Luke:9:10-17
rwp@Luke:9:10 @{Declared} (\digsanto\). First aorist middle of \digeomai\, to carry a narrative through to the end. Jesus listened to it all. {They had done} (\epoisan\). Aorist active indicative, they did. {He took them} (\paralabn autous\). Second aorist active participle of \paralamban\. Very common verb. {Bethsaida} (\Bthsaida\). Peculiar to Luke. Bethsaida Julias is the territory of Philip, for it is on the other side of the Sea of Galilee (John:6:1|).
rwp@Luke:9:11 @{Spake} (\elalei\). Imperfect active, he continued speaking. {He healed} (\ito\). Imperfect middle, he continued healing.
rwp@Luke:9:12 @{To wear away} (\klinein\). Old verb usually transitive, to bend or bow down. Many compounds as in English decline, incline, recline, clinic (\klin\, bed), etc. Luke alone in the N.T. uses it intransitively as here. The sun was turning down towards setting. {Lodge} (\katalussin\). First aorist active subjunctive of \katalu\, a common verb, to dissolve, destroy, overthrow, and then of travellers to break a journey, to lodge (\kataluma\, inn, strkjv@Luke:2:7|). Only here and strkjv@19:7| in the N.T. in this sense. {Get victuals} (\heursin episitismon\). Ingressive aorist active of \heurisk\, very common verb. {Victuals} (\episitismon\, from \episitizomai\, to provision oneself, \sitiz\, from \siton\, wheat) only here in the N.T., though common in ancient Greek, especially for provisions for a journey (snack). See on ¯Mark:6:32-44; strkjv@Matthew:14:13-21| for discussion of details.
rwp@Luke:9:13 @{Except we should go and buy food} (\ei mti poreuthentes hmeis agorasmen brmata\). This is a condition of the third class with the aorist subjunctive (\agorasmen\), where the conjunction is usually \ean\ (with negative \ean m\), but not always or necessarily so especially in the _Koin_. Songs:in strkjv@1Corinthians:14:5| \ei m diermneui\ and in strkjv@Phillipians:3:12| \ei kai katalab\. "Unless" is better here than "except." {Food} (\brmata\), means eaten pieces from \bibrsk\, to eat, somewhat like our "edibles" or vernacular "eats."
rwp@Luke:9:14 @{About} (\hsei\). Luke as strkjv@Matthew:14:21| adds this word to the definite statement of strkjv@Mark:6:44| that there were 5,000 men, a hundred companies of fifty each. {Sit down} (\kataklinate\). First aorist active imperative. Recline, lie down. Only in Luke in the N.T. See also verse 15|. {In companies} (\klisias\). Cognate accusative after {kataklinate}. Only here in the N.T. A row of persons reclining at meals (table company). {About fifty each} (\hsei ana pentkonta\). Distributive use of \ana\ and approximate number again (\hsei\).
rwp@Luke:9:16 @{The five... the two} (\tous pente... tous duo\). Pointing back to verse 13|, fine example of the Greek article. {And gave} (\kai edidou\). Imperfect active of \didmi\, kept on giving. This picturesque imperfect is preceded by the aorist \kateklasen\ (brake), a single act. This latter verb in the N.T. only here and the parallel in strkjv@Mark:6:41|, though common enough in ancient Greek. We say "break off" where here the Greek has "break down" (or thoroughly), perfective use of \kata\.
rwp@Luke:9:17 @{Twelve baskets} (\kophinoi ddeka\). For discussion of \kophonoi\ and \sphurides\ as well as of \klasmata\ (broken pieces) see on ¯Mark:6:43; strkjv@Matthew:14:20|.
