rwp@John:11:38 @{Again groaning in himself} (\palin embrimmenos en heauti\). Direct reference to the use of this same word (present middle participle here) in verse 33|, only with \en heauti\ (in himself) rather than \ti pneumati\ (in his spirit), practically the same idea. The speculation concerning his power stirred the depths of his nature again. {Cometh to the tomb} (\erchetai eis to mnmeion\). Vivid historical present. {A cave} (\splaion\). Old word (from \speos\, cavern). Cf. strkjv@Matthew:21:13|. {Lay against it} (\epekeito ep' auti\). Imperfect middle of \epikeimai\, old verb to lie upon as in strkjv@21:9| and figuratively (1Corinthians:9:16|). Note repetition of \epi\ with locative case. The use of a cave for burial was common (Genesis:23:19|). Either the body was let down through a horizontal opening (hardly so here) or put in a tomb cut in the face of the rock (if so, \epi\ can mean "against"). The stones were used to keep away wild animals from the bodies.

rwp@John:20:12 @{Beholdeth} (\therei\). Vivid historical present again as in verses 6,14|. Peter and John had not seen the two angels. Westcott suggests an "economy" in such manifestations as the explanations. Better our own ignorance as to the reason why only the women saw them. Angels were commonly believed to be clad in white. See strkjv@Mark:16:5| (a young man in a white robe), strkjv@Matthew:28:5| (the angel), strkjv@Luke:24:4| (two men in dazzling apparel). For other angels in John's Gospel see strkjv@1:41; strkjv@12:29; strkjv@20:12|. {Had lain} (\ekeito\). Imperfect in progressive sense, "had been lying," though not there now.

rwp@Luke:5:25 @{Whereon he lay} (\eph' ho katekeito\). Imperfect, upon which he had been lying down. Luke uses this phrase instead of repeating \klinidion\ (verse 24|). {Glorifying God} (\doxazn ton theon\). As one can well imagine.

rwp@Mark:1:29 @{The house of Simon and Andrew} (\tn oikian Simnos kai Andreou\). Peter was married and both he and Andrew lived together in "Peter's house" (Matthew:8:14|) with Peter's wife and mother-in-law. Peter was evidently married before he began to follow Jesus. Later his wife accompanied him on his apostolic journeys (1Corinthians:9:5|). This incident followed immediately after the service in the synagogue on the sabbath. All the Synoptics give it. Mark heard Peter tell it as it occurred in his own house where Jesus made his home while in Capernaum. Each Gospel gives touches of its own to the story. Mark has "lay sick of a fever " (\katekeito puressousa\), lay prostrate burning with fever. Matthew puts it "stretched out (\beblmenn\) with a fever." Luke has it "holden with a great fever" (\n sunechomen pureti megali\), a technical medical phrase. They all mention the instant recovery and ministry without any convalescence. Mark and Matthew speak of the touch of Jesus on her hand and Luke speaks of Jesus standing over her like a doctor. It was a tender scene.

rwp@Matthew:26:20 @{He was sitting at meat} (\anekeito\). He was reclining, lying back on the left side on the couch with the right hand free. Jesus and the Twelve all reclined. The paschal lamb had to be eaten up entirely (Exodus:12:4,43|).

rwp@Matthew:28:6 @{Risen from the dead} (\gerth apo tn nekrn\). {Jesus the Risen}. This is the heart of the testimony of the angel to the women. It is what Paul wishes Timothy never to forget (2Timothy:2:8|), "Jesus Christ risen from the dead" (\Isoun Christon eggermenon ek nekrn\). They were afraid and dazzled by the glory of the scene, but the angel said, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay" (\deute idete ton topon hopou ekeito ho Kurios\). Some MSS. do not have \ho Kurios\, but he is the subject of \ekeito\. His body was not there. It will not do to say that Jesus arose in spirit and appeared alive though his body remained in the tomb. The empty tomb is the first great fact confronting the women and later the men. Various theories were offered then as now. But none of them satisfy the evidence and explain the survival of faith and hope in the disciples that do not rest upon the fact of the Risen Christ whose body was no longer in the tomb.

rwp@Revelation:4:2 @{Straightway I was in the Spirit} (\euthes egenomn en pneumati\). But John had already "come to be in the Spirit" (1:10|, the very same phrase). Perhaps here effective aorist middle indicative while ingressive aorist in strkjv@1:10| (sequel or result, not entrance), "At once I found myself in the Spirit" (Swete), not "I came to be in the Spirit" as in strkjv@1:10|. {Was set} (\ekeito\). Imperfect middle of \keimai\, old verb, used as passive of \tithmi\. As the vision opens John sees the throne already in place as the first thing in heaven. This bold imagery comes chiefly from strkjv@1Kings:22:19; strkjv@Isaiah:6:1ff.; strkjv@Ezekiel:1:26-28; strkjv@Daniel:7:9f|. One should not forget that this language is glorious imagery, not actual objects in heaven. God is spirit. The picture of God on the throne is common in the O.T. and the N.T. (Matthew:5:34f.; strkjv@23:22; strkjv@Hebrews:1:3| and in nearly every chapter in the Revelation, strkjv@1:4|, etc.). The use of \kathmenos\ (sitting) for the name of God is like the Hebrew avoidance of the name _Jahweh_ and is distinguished from the Son in strkjv@6:16; strkjv@7:10|. {Upon the throne} (\epi ton thronon\). \Epi\ with the accusative, as in strkjv@4:4; strkjv@6:2,4f.; strkjv@11:16; strkjv@20:4|, but in verses 9,10, strkjv@4:1,7,13; strkjv@6:16; strkjv@7:15| we have \epi tou thronou\ (genitive), while in strkjv@7:10; strkjv@19:14; strkjv@21:5| we have \epi ti throni\ (locative) with no great distinction in the resultant idea.
