Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 19].
the one pound is given to the man who has ten pounds. If so, it
shows plainly how keenly they followed the story which Jesus was
giving because of their excitement about the kingdom (Lu
19:11).
19:26 {That hath not} (\tou m• echontos\). The present tense of
\ech•\ here, that keeps on not having, probably approaches the
idea of acquiring or getting, the one who keeps on not acquiring.
This is the law of nature and of grace.
19:27 {Reign} (\basileusai\). First aorist active infinitive,
ingressive aorist, come to rule. {Slay} (\katasphaxate\). First
aorist active imperative of \katasphaz•\, to slaughter, an old
verb, but only here in the N.T.
19:28 {Went on before} (\eporeueto emprosthen\). Imperfect
middle. Jesus left the parable to do its work and slowly went on
his way up the hill to Jerusalem.
19:29 {Unto Bethphage and Bethany} (\eis B•thphag• kai
B•thania\). Both indeclinable forms of the Hebrew or Aramaic
names. In Mr 11:1 "Bethany" is inflected regularly, which see.
{Of Olives} (\Elai•n\). As in Mr 11:1; Mt 21:1, though some
editors take it to be, not the genitive plural of \elaia\ (olive
tree), but the name of the place Olivet. In the Greek it is just
a matter of accent (circumflex or acute) Olivet is correct in Ac
1:12. See on ¯Mt 21:1ff.; Mr 11:1ff. for details.
19:30 {Whereon no man ever yet sat} (\eph' hon oudeis p•pote
anthr•p•n ekathisen\). Plummer holds that this fact indicated to
the disciples a royal progress into the city of a piece with the
Virgin Birth of Jesus and the burial in a new tomb.
19:32 {As he had said unto them} (\kath•s eipen autois\). Luke
alone notes this item.
19:33 {As they were loosing} (\luont•n aut•n\). Genitive
absolute. {The owners thereof} (\hoi kurioi autou\). The same
word \kurios\ used of the Lord Jesus in verse 31 (and 34) and
which these "owners" would understand. See on ¯Mt 21:3; Mr 11:3
for \kurios\ used by Jesus about himself with the expectation
that these disciples would recognize him by that title as they
did. The word in common use for the Roman emperor and in the LXX
to translate the Hebrew _Elohim_ (God).
