Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 24].
\homile•\, old and common verb (from \homilos\, in company with).
In the N.T. only here (and verse 15) and Ac 20:11; 24:26. Our
word homiletics is derived from this word for preaching was at
first largely conversational in style and not declamatory.
24:15 {While they communed and questioned together} (\en t•i
homilein autous kai sunz•tein\). Same idiom as in verse 14,
which see. Note \sunz•tein\; each questioned the other. {Jesus
himself} (\autos I•sous\). In actual person. {Went with them}
(\suneporeueto autois\). Imperfect middle, was going along with
them.
24:16 {Were holden that they should not know him} (\ekratounto
tou m• epign•nai auton\). Imperfect passive of \krate•\,
continued being held, with the ablative case of the articular
infinitive, "from recognizing him," from knowing him fully
(\epi-gn•nai\, ingressive aorist of \epigin•sko\). The \m•\ is a
redundant negative after the negative idea in \ekratounto\.
24:17 {That you have with another} (\hous antiballete pros
all•lous\). \Anti-ball•\ is an old verb and means to throw in
turn, back and forth like a ball, from one to another, a
beautiful picture of conversation as a game of words. Only here
in the N.T. {They stood still} (\estath•san\). First aorist
passive of \hist•mi\, intransitive. They stopped. {Looking sad}
(\skuthr•poi\). This is the correct text. It is an old adjective
from \skuthros\, gloomy and \ops\, countenance. Only here in the
N.T.
24:18 {Dost thou alone sojourn?} (\su monos paroikeis;\). \Monos\
is predicate adjective. "Hast thou been dwelling alone (all by
thyself)?" {And not know?} (\kai ouk egn•s;\). Second aorist
active indicative and difficult to put into English as the aorist
often is. The verb \paroike•\ means to dwell beside one, then as
a stranger like \paroikoi\ (Eph 2:19). In Jerusalem everybody
was talking about Jesus.
24:21 {But we hoped} (\h•meis de •lpizomen\). Imperfect active,
we were hoping. Note emphasis in \h•meis\ (we). {Redeem}
(\lutrousthai\). From the bondage of Rome, no doubt. {Yea and
beside all this} (\alla ge kai sun p•sin toutois\). Particles
pile up to express their emotions. {Yea} (\alla\ here
affirmative, as in verse 22, not adversative) at least (\ge\)
also (\kai\) together with all these things (\sun p•sin
