Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 18].
Westcott and Hort) the potential optative of the direct discourse
is simply retained.
18:37 {Passeth by} (\parerchetai\). Present middle indicative
retained in indirect discourse as \paragei\ is in Mt 20:30. No
reason for differences of English tenses in the two passages (was
passing by, passeth by).
18:38 {He cried} (\ebo•sen\). Old verb, \boa•\, to shout, as in
9:38. {Son of David} (\huie Daueid\). Shows that he recognizes
Jesus as the Messiah.
18:39 {That he should hold his peace} (\hina sig•s•i\).
Ingressive aorist subjunctive. That he should become silent; as
with \hina si•p•s•i\ in Mr 10:48. {The more a great deal}
(\poll•i m•llon\). By much more as in Mr 10:48.
18:40 {Stood} (\statheis\). First aorist passive where Mr 10:49;
Mt 20:32 have \stas\ (second aorist active) translated "stood
still." One is as "still" as the other. The first is that Jesus "
stopped." {Be brought} (\achth•nai\). First aorist infinitive in
indirect command.
18:41 {What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?} (\Ti soi
theleis poi•s•;\). Same idiom in Mr 10:51; Mt 20:32 which see,
the use of \thel•\ without \hina\ with aorist subjunctive (or
future indicative). See same references also for \hina anableps•\
"that I may see again" without verb before \hina\. Three uses of
\anablep•\ here (verses 41,42,43).
18:43 {Followed} (\•kolouthei\). Imperfect active as in Mr
10:52. Either inchoative he began to follow, or descriptive, he
was following.
