Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Acts: Chapter 20]
the N.T. (Mr 15:19; Lu 22:41; Ac 7:60; 9:40; 20:36; 21:5).
Certainly kneeling in prayer is a fitting attitude (cf. Jesus,
Lu 22:41), though not the only proper one (Mt 6:5). Paul
apparently prayed aloud (\pros•uxato\).
20:37 {They all wept sore} (\hikanos klauthmos egeneto pant•n\).
Literally, There came considerable weeping of all (on the part of
all, genitive case). {Kissed him} (\katephiloun auton\).
Imperfect active of \kataphile•\, old verb, intensive with \kata\
and repetition shown also by the tense: They kept on kissing or
kissed repeatedly, probably one after the other falling on his
neck. Cf. also Mt 26:49.
20:38 {Sorrowing} (\odun•menoi\). Present middle participle of
\oduna•\, old verb to cause intense pain, to torment (Lu
16:24), middle to distress oneself (Lu 2:48; Ac 20:38).
Nowhere else in N.T. {Which he had spoken} (\h•i eir•kei\).
Relative attracted to the case of the antecedent \log•i\ (word).
Past perfect indicative of \eipon\. {They brought him on his way}
(\proepempon auton\). Imperfect active of \propemp•\, old verb to
send forward, to accompany as in Ac 15:3; 20:38; 21:5; 1Co
16:6,11; 2Co 1:16; Tit 3:13; 3Jo 1:6. Graphic picture of Paul's
departure from this group of ministers.
