Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 24].
had not urged him to stay.
24:29 {Constrained} (\parebiasanto\). Strong verb \parabiazomai\,
to compel by use of force (Polybius and LXX). In the N.T. only
here and Ac 16:15. It was here compulsion of courteous words.
{Is far spent} (\kekliken\). Perfect active indicative of
\klin•\. The day "has turned" toward setting.
24:30 {When he had sat down} (\en t•i kataklith•nai auton\).
Luke's common idiom as in verses 4,15. Note first aorist
passive infinitive (on the reclining as to him). {Gave}
(\epedidou\). Imperfect, inchoative idea, began to give to them,
in contrast with the preceding aorist (punctiliar) participles.
24:31 {Were opened} (\di•noichth•san\). Ingressive first aorist
passive indicative of \dianoig•\. {Knew} (\epegn•san\). Effective
first aorist active indicative fully recognized him. Same word in
verse 16. {Vanished} (\aphantos egeneto\). Became invisible or
unmanifested. \Aphantos\ from \a\ privative and \phainomai\, to
appear. Old word, only here in the N.T.
24:32 {Was not our heart burning?} (\Ouchi h• kardia hem•n
kaiomen• •n;\). Periphrastic imperfect middle. {Spake}
(\elalei\). Imperfect active, was speaking. This common verb
\lale•\ is onomatopoetic, to utter a sound, \la-la\ and was used
of birds, children chattering, and then for conversation, for
preaching, for any public speech. {Opened} (\di•noigen\).
Imperfect active indicative of the same verb used of the eyes in
verse 31.
24:33 {That very hour} (\aut•i t•i h•r•i\). Locative case and
common Lukan idiom, at the hour itself. They could not wait.
{Gathered} (\•throismenous\). Perfect passive participle of
\athroiz•\, old verb from \athroos\ (copulative \a\ and \throos\,
crowd). Only here in the N.T.
24:34 {Saying} (\legontas\). Accusative present active participle
agreeing with "the eleven and those with them" in verse 33.
{Indeed} (\ont•s\). Really, because "he has appeared to Simon"
(\•pth• Sim•ni\). First aorist passive indicative of \hora•\.
This is the crucial evidence that turned the scales with the
disciples and explains "indeed." Paul also mentions it (1Co
15:5).
