Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 20].
assertion.
20:7 {That they knew not} (\m• eidenai\). Accusative and
infinitive in indirect assertion again with the negative \m•\
rather than \ou\.
20:9 {Vineyard} (\ampel•na\). Late word from \ampelos\ (vine),
place of vines. So in Mr 12:1; Mt 21:33. {Let it out}
(\exedeto\). Second aorist middle of \ekdid•mi\, but with
variable vowel \e\ in place of \o\ of the stem \do\ (\exedoto\).
Same form in Mark and Matthew. {For a long time} (\chronous
hikanous\). Accusative of extent of time, considerable times or
periods of time. Not in Mark and Matthew, though all three have
\aped•m•sen\ (went off from home). See on ¯Lu 7:6 for \hikanos\.
20:10 {At the season} (\kair•i\). The definite season for the
fruit like \ho kairos t•n karp•n\ (Mt 21:34). That they should
give (\hina d•sousin\). Future indicative with \hina\ for purpose
like the aorist subjunctive, though not so frequent.
20:11 {He sent yet another} (\prosetheto heteron pempsai\).
Literally, {he added to send another}. A clear Hebraism repeated
in verse 12 and also in 19:11.
20:12 {They wounded} (\traumatisantes\). First aorist active
participle of \traumatiz•\. An old verb, from \trauma\, a wound,
but in the N.T. only here and Ac 19:16.
20:13 {What shall I do?} (\Ti poi•s•;\). Deliberative future
indicative or aorist subjunctive (same form). This detail only in
Luke. Note the variations in all three Gospels. All three have
"will reverence" (\entrap•sontai\) for which see Matthew and
Mark. {It may be} (\is•s\). Perhaps, from \isos\, equal. Old
adverb, but only here in the N.T.
20:14 {That the inheritance may be ours} (\hina h•m•n gen•tai h•
kl•ronomia\). That the inheritance may become (\gen•tai\, second
aorist middle subjunctive of \ginomai\). Here Mt 21:39 has
\sch•men\ "let us get, ingressive aorist active subjunctive." Cf.
\ech•men\, present subjunctive of the same verb \ech•\ in Ro
5:1; Mr 12:7 has "and it will be ours" (\estai\).
20:16 {God forbid} (\m• genoito\). Optative of wish about the
future with \m•\. Literally, {may it not happen}. No word "God"
