However, the verb root, ballo, means "pour" when uses with liquids so that works better here. However, this word only occurs once in ancient Greek, in this verse so this is the only precedent for translation. It definition is taken from the meaning of the verb ballo that is used in Matthew 9:17. There is nothing here that indicates a meaning of "must." In the Latin Vulgate, a verbal adjective is used. It is definitely not an active verb as used here. Though it is not a normal participle form of the root, which means "toss," it seems like "tossing," a verbal adjective form of the root works best. |

It means to "take counsel, deliberate," "sit in council," "take counsel with oneself," "deliberate," "determine with oneself," and "resolve on." It is the active verb, but the form is again amusing because the subject acts on himself, "determine for oneself" or "decide for himself." |
1 | Luke | ||

However, in the Greek Septuagint, the Greek word was used both for the different Hebrew words for "idols" and for "disease," but Greek used it to refer to a controlling spiritual power, inferior to the gods. It was used to mean "knowing" and "skilled" in the sense that we might say, "He is a demon poker player." In the Stoic philosophy, it was the voice of reason inside of us. Plato described his inner voice of conscience as a daimon. -- "Devil" is a word that means "belonging to a controlling spiritual power" so the sense is "an invisible controller." (CW) The word doesn't necessarily mean "evil". In Greek is used to refer to a controlling spiritual power, inferior to the gods. It was used to mean "knowing" and "skilled" in the sense that we might say, "He is a demon poker player." However, Jesus seems to always use it negatively as "an unseen controller" referring to invisible causes of disease, especially mental disorders (see this article).

It means "to bring near," "to approach," "to bring up to," and "to be imminent."

It also means "I at least," "for my part," "indeed," and for myself. -- I -- This is from the first-person, singular form of the verb. missing "myself" -- (MW) The pronoun "I" is used here. When the subject of the sentence is part of the verb, this pronoun accentuates who is speaking "I." Saying "I myself" captures this feeling in English.

162 | |||
| ei | εἰ [90 verses](conj) "If" is ei, which is the particle used to express conditions "if" (with the indicative, implying nothing about its fulfillment) or indirect and direct questions, "whether." It also means "if ever," "in case," and "whenever." In citing a fact, it can mean "as sure as" or "since." It is combined with various conjunctions to create derivative conditions. When appearing as εἰ δὲ (literally, "if however") the sense is "if this...then that." The construction εἰ δὲ μή . . means "otherwise." The construction εἰ οὖν has the sense of "if so." However, it is also used to express a wish. After verbs of wonder, delight, indignation, disappointment, contentment, and similar emotions, it is use instead of ὅτι, to express the object of the feeling in a hypothetical form, "that" with the indicative (not subjunctive). After ὅτι, it introduces a quotation where we use quotation marks. With the future tense, it is used for emphasis, a warning, or an intention.

With verbs of desire and emotion and the indicative in the second clause, the sense is "that." With an imperative, it is used to express a wish. The sense is "I wish that." With the future tense indicative, it is used for emphasis, a warning, or an intention. The emphasis clause is after the main statement. -- The "if" here is used to express conditions "if" (implying nothing about its fulfillment) or indirect and direct questions, "whether."It also means "if ever" and "whenever."

90 | |||
| ei de me | εἰ δὲ μή [7 verses](conj particles) This construction means "otherwise." The three words literally "if however not." The "if" here expresses a condition but it means nothing regarding whether that condition is not when used with the subjective negative. The Greek word "but" means "but," "however," and "on the other hand." It joins phrases in an adversarial way. Since it always falls in the second position, translating it as "however" often captures its feeling better. The negative used here is the Greek negative of a subjective opinion, commands, and requests. It is the negative used in "if" phrases. -- The "else" here comes from three Greek words that literally mean "if however not." This is usually translated as "otherwise" or, in the KJV, as "else." |
7 | |||
| ei me | εἰ μὴ [14 verses](conj particle) "Except" is ei me, which is the conjunction that means "if not," and "except."

Used with the historical present (present tense in past time) to express unfulfilled conditions and with aorist to refer the past. The mê (me) is the negative used in prohibitions and expressions of doubt meaning "not" and "no." Followed by an ἀλλὰ clause, the sense is "if not" some word related to time, "at least still," and without the reference time, "at least" but - (CW) "But is from Two Greek words are translated as "except." Literally, they mean "if not" but this phrase is used to mean "except." In negative questions "instead...not" might work better. This is not the word usually translated as "but."

With an indirect (dative) object, it means "have" where the subject and object are reversed. "It is to him" becomes "it is his" or "he has it." With the preposition,"into" (εἰς), the sense is "consist of." When the verb "to be" appears early in the clause before the subject, the sense is more like "it is" or, in the plural, "there are." -- The verb "is" here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition. It also equates terms or assigns characteristics. The word also means "to exist" and where it doesn't connect to characteristics or conditions. |
614 | |||

This is the second most common word Jesus uses for this idea. The other word is used more for discussion. Perhaps translating it consistently as "tell" would work. - The word translated as "speak" means "to say" and "to speak." It is one of the two most common words translated "speak," "say" and "tell," but it has more a sense of addressing and proclaiming. |

Its form is of something that "might" happen. It is a simple statement, not a request, about what the Father doesn't want to happen but the entire sentence comes across as a shy suggestion. |

33 | |||
| ekeinos | ἐκεῖνος [107 verses](adj sg masc nom) "That" is ekeinos, which refers to that which has gone immediately before and means "the person there," "that person," "that thing," and "the nearer." However, when οὗτος and ἐκεῖνος refer to two things ἐκεῖνος, prop. belongs to the more remote, "the latter" in time, place, or thought, οὗτος belongs to the more remote, "the latter" in time, "further" in place, or thought, οὗτος to "the nearer" and "sooner.

The idea here is something less formal than to our idea of a jury, but a group of peers rather than a government organ. - Through its use in the Epistles, the word translated here as "church" came to mean "church" but this was later in history. In Christ's time, it means an assembly of local people, like a town meeting but less formal that we think of meetings. Jesus uses it only used twice, in Matthew 16:18 and in Matthew 18:17 (not at all in Mark, Luke, or John) when Jesus tells Peter he is the rock on which this assembly will be built. The word only came into extensive use in the Act of the Apostles, which describes the local assemblies of the Christian community.

In dice, it means "to win." |

Peirazô means "to attempt", "to try", "to test," and, in a bad sense, "to seek to seduce," and "to tempt." - - The Greek word that the KJV translates as "Thou shalt...test" (or "tempt" in other popular translations) is a little more complex than simple "to test." It adds a preposition that means "from" or "out of" to the more basic Greek word that means "to test" and "to seduce." The root word is only used by Jesus one other place in the Gospels, Mark 12:15. The combination of this word with "out" creates a word closer to our idea of "trying out" and "testing out" something. That is the concept of checking it to make sure it works as advertised. |

The first is the article, "the" and the second is the adverb that means "outside" and "without." Like the "within" above, this is from the same root words as the outside in the previous verse, but it is a different word. More interesting, this word has a number of special meanings when used as a noun as it is here. It means "external part," but it also means "outsider" and "the common people." This is likely why the word was changed here from the previous verse, since the word used previously does not have these meanings. |

It also means to "bring into" a conversation or to "infer" or "conclude." - This is not the common word usually translated as "gathered" but a compound form of it meaning "gather upon" or "collected over," like we would say "gathered up."

The root of this word is thymos, (θυμός), which is the seat of passion and heat. The prefix means "upon." -- (WW) "Lust" is a Greek verb that means "to set one's heart upon", "to desire", "to covet," and "too long for." The verb indicates heat and passion, but not sexual passion (see this article about the Greek root of this word meaning "chest") Jesus uses this word five times, always in reference to hunger and thirst except for here. The form is an infinitive uses as a noun describing the action, so "the craving." |
||||

The Greek root of this word is translated as "seek" in the KJV but Christ uses it more like we use "aim." This version of that word has the prefix that means "on," "at," or "upon," so "aim at" or "focus on" is the closest in English. This version of the word is usually used only negatively by Jesus. |

It means both "to go" on a journey and "to arrive" at a place. -- The word translated as "come" primarily means "to start out" but Jesus usually uses it to mean "come" but not always. It indicates movement, especially its beginning, without indicating a direction toward or away from anything, so it works either as "start," "come," or "go," but it is more like our phrase "being underway." Technically, it is in the middle voice meaning the subject acts on himself. In English, this is assumed in our words "come" and "go." Our English word "show up" captures both the "start" and "come" ideas. See this article for more. |

Christ uses the noun form, eremos, that is translated as "desert" or "wilderness." |
3 | |||
| ereo | ἐρεῖ [3 verses] (verb 3rd sg pres ind act) "Speaketh" is ereo, which means to "ask about," or "inquire about" or "seek for" a thing, to "question" a person, or to "search" or "explore."

In English, we say "given an effort" to express the same idea. The word is a more complicated word than the usual "work", which gives it a humorous feel. |
1 | Luke | ||
| ergates | ἐργάτας [8 verses](noun pl masc acc) "Workman" is ergates, which means "workman," "one who works the soil," "husbandman," "hard-working," "strenuous," "one who practices an art," "practitioner," "doer," and "producer." -- The word translated as "labourer " means "worker," but it more specifically means a "doer," a "producer," or one who practices an art. It has a very economic sense. |
8 | |||
| ergazomai | ἐργαζόμενοι [8 verses](part pl pres mp masc nom) "Traded" is ergazomai, which means to "work at," "make," "do," "perform," "work [a material]," "earn by working," work at a trade or business," " traffic," and "trade." - Christ uses a very businesslike term that means "to labor," "to trade," "to do business," "to earn by working," and "to acquire." -- "Traded" is a word Christ uses humorously. It means "work," "do," or "make," but it is not the common word Christ uses frequently, but a more sophisticated word he uses less commonly. He uses it to mean "make a living for yourself." The form is where the subject acts on himself, so "work yourself." |
8 | |||

3 | |||
| ero | ἐρρέθη [10 verses](3rd sg aor ind pass) "It hath been said," is ero (rheo), which means "to speak", "to say", "to pronounce", "to tell", "to let suffice", "to announce", "to proclaim," (in passive) "to be pronounced", "to be mentioned", "to be specified", "to be agreed," and "to be promised." In many forms impossible to tell from ereo that means "ask," inquire,""question," and "search." -- (CW) The verb translated as "it was said," means "to pronounce", "to mention", " "to announce", "to proclaim," and, in the passive as used here, "to be pronounced", "to be mentioned", "to be specified", "to be agreed," and "to be promised." This is an uncommon verb for Christ to use to refer to simply saying or speaking, used primarily in the "commandment updates" of this section. There are three other verbs that are commonly used to mean "to say," "to speak," and "to tell." This verb is a more serious meaning, "to proclaim" or "to pronounce," and a lighter meaning "to be mentioned" and "to be pronounce." However, Jesus often uses more unusual words for humorous effect, which seems to the case here. |
10 | |||
| erotao | ἐρωτᾷς [17 verses](verb 2nd sg pres ind act) "Ask" is from erotao, which means "to ask," "beg," or "to question." This word means asking for information. -- The word translated as "ask" means "to ask" "to beg," or "to question." It means to "ask about a thing" or "to question a person." A different Greek verb means "asking for something" as in "request." |
17 | |||
| Ēsaias | Ἠσαίου [3 verses](proper name) "Esaias" is from the Greek Ēsaias, which is the Greek word for the prophet Isaiah. - "Esaias" is the Greek spelling of the English name, Isaiah. |
||||
| eschatos | ἔσχατα [21 verses](adj sg fem nom) "Last" is eschatos. In space, this means "furthest." In degree, it means "uttermost" and "highest." In persons, it means "lowest" and "meanest." Of time, it means "last" and "ending." -- "Last" is from an adjective that, in space, this means "furthest." In degree, it means "uttermost" and "highest." In persons, it means "lowest" and "meanest." Of time, it means "last" and "ending." If the context is the previous verse, it can refer to distance or people so it means "furthest" or "meanest." However, clearly, its use is intended for a double meaning, meaning both. KJV English has a double meaning as well, but it is not quite the same. |
21 | |||
| esothen | ἔσωθεν [6 verses](adv) "Inwardly" is esothen, which means "from within," "inside," "within," and "inward." -- "Within" is the adverb meaning "inwardly." |

This is one of two similar words that often get translated as "gentiles," but this is the less common form, which more clearly means "foreigners." Jesus uses this word in contrast with "friends" so "strangers." |
4 | |||
| ethnos | ἔθνη [22 verses](noun pl neut nom) "Gentiles" is ethnos, which means "a number of people living together," "company," "body of men," "tribe," "a people," "nation," and (later) "foreign, barbarous nations." -- The word translated as "Gentiles" means "a group of people living together," a nation, a tribe, or a cast of people. Later it came to mean "barbarous nations" similar to our idea of ethnic people. Jesus used it to mean "non-Judean" people. |
22 | |||
| ethpthah | Ἐφφαθά {ephphtha}[1 verse] (Aramaic) This could be from the Aramaic ethpthah, the passive imperative of the verb pthah, 'to open.' |

6 | Luke | ||
| eu | εὖ [4 verses](adv) "Good" is eu, the word for "well," "thoroughly," "competently," "fortunately," and "happily." -- (WF) The adverb translated as "good" is not a noun or an adjective, but an adverb. It means "well," "thoroughly," "competently," and "fortunately." This is the adverb form of "good," not the adjective "good". The word is uncommon for Christ to use as an adverb, but he commonly uses it in compound words such as the Greek word translated as "gospel" which means "good news." See this article on "good" and this one on "evil." |
4 | |||
| euaggelion | εὐαγγελίῳ. [8 verses](noun sg neut dat) "Good news" is euaggelion, a "reward of good tidings," a "thank offering for good tidings, " "good news," and "good tidings." Originally, this term described a reward, like a tip, given to a messenger who brought good news.The root is -aggelia, which means "message." The masculine form, -aggelos," means "messenger." This form is neuter. -- "Good news" has come to mean the Jesus story itself, i.e. the Gospel, but Jesus doesn't seem to use it that way at all. This is Jesus's only used of the noun form of the word. The phrase doesn't mean the "good news itself." Instead it means "the reward for bringing good news. |
1 | |||
| euaggelizo | εὐαγγελίζονται:” [5 verses] (3rd pl pres ind mp) "Preach" is from euaggelizo. which means "bring good news," "announce good things," "preach or proclaim as glad tidings," and, in the passive, "receive good news." -- (CW) "Preach" is translated from a Greek word that means to"bring good news," and, in the passive, "receive good news." Like the previous verb, it is not a passive, but in a form which indicates the subject acting on itself at some point in time. It is in the form of "to bring good news. It comes before the word translated as "must." This religious "preached" is more specific than the word's meaning. CW --Confusing Word -- This religious "preached"transition is more specific than the word's more general meaning.

5 | |||
| eucharisteo | εὐχαριστῶ [2 verses](1st sg pres ind act) "I thank" is from eucharisteo, which means "to bestow a favor on," "to oblige," "to be thankful," "to return thanks," and "to be received with thanks." - The Greek word translated as "thank" means both to offer a favor and to be grateful for receiving favors. The two ideas were tied together. The idea is that bestowing a favor automatically creates thankfulness. This is related to the sense of "debt" in the Gospels, which is a topic Christ addresses more commonly, most noticeably in the Lord's Prayer. |
||||
| eudia | Εὐδία, [1 verse](noun sg fem nom) "Fair weather" is eudia, which means "fair weather" or "fine weather," and is a metaphor for "tranquility" and "peace." - "Fair weather" is translated from a Greek word that means literally, "good weather." It is a metaphor for tranquility and peace. Jesus only uses this word in one verse. |
||||
| eudokeo | εὐδόκησεν [1 verse](verb 3rd sg aor ind act) "It is...good pleasure" is eudokeo, which means "to be well-pleased", "to be content:"., "to find pleasure in", "to consent", "to approve", "to determine", and "to resolve". Another word only used once by Jesus in the Gospels in transla - - The Greek verb means "to be well-pleased", "to be content:", "to find pleasure in", "to consent", "to approve", "to determine", and "to resolve". The subject here is "the father" so the phrase is "he is content" or "consents". This word is used by the Father in the other Gospels to describe his attitude toward the Son. |
1 | Luke | ||
| eudokia | εὐδοκία [2 verses](noun sg fem nom ) "Good" is eudokia, which means "goodwill," "contentment," "an object of desire," "satisfaction," and "approval." - "Good" is a word that means "goodwill," "contentment," "an object of desire," "satisfaction," and "approval." We might simply say "happiness." This is the only time Christ uses this word. This word is also in the form of the subject of the sentence so this is what "the father becomes." |
||||
| eukopo | εὐκοπώτερον, [7 verses](adj sg neut nom/acc comp) "Easier" is eukopo, which is a comparative form of "easy" and "easy work." It is a compound eu, the word for "well", "thoroughly", "competently", "fortunately," and "happily." and kopos, which means "striking", "beating", "toil and trouble", "fatigue," and "work." Its root meaning is a "good beating" or "good fatigue." The modern Greek word meaning "easy" closest is eukolos, where the later part, kolos, means "cool". -- The word translated as "easier" is a compound word. It means "easy" and "easy work." It is an uncommon word, appearing only seven times in the NT and only five times in the rest of ancient Greek literature. The prefix here means "good" or "better" because the word is comparative. The root word primarily means "beating" or "fatigue". Its root meaning is a "better beating" or "better fatigue." |
7 | |||
| eulogeo | Εὐλογημένος [4 verses](part sg perf pass nom) "Blessed" is from eulogeo, which means "speak well of," "praise." "honor," "bless," "praise" a god, by a Hebr. euphemism, "curse," and, as an adjective, "charmed," "lucky," and "blessed." -- (CW) "Blessed" is from a verb that means to "speak well of," "praise." and "honor." Amusingly, this is a Hebrew euphemism for "cursed," reversing its normal meaning. This is not the word used in the Beatitudes ("Blessed are the poor..."). This is not the specific meaning of the word in this situation. CW --Confusing Word -- The "bless" does not capture the word's specific meaning in this situation. |
4 | |||
| eunoeo | (1 verse]( part sg pres act masc nom ) "Agree" or "settle" could be eunoeo (εὐνοέω), which means "to be well-inclined", "to be favorable", "to be kindly", "to be friendly", "to be liked," and "to be affectionately treated." This form is both the present participle and the adjective. Or (part sg fut act masc nom) "Agree" could also be from eunao, meaning "to lay in ambush," "to lay or lull to sleep" and "to be bedded with." The "bedded with" takes a dative, which is the form of the next word. -- "Agree "is another verb Jesus only uses once. It could be the participle of two different verbs. the first means "to be well-inclined", and "to be friendly.""agreeing" or "befriending." However, it is also a verb that means "to lay in ambush," "to lay or lull to sleep" and "to be bedded with." The "bedded with" takes a dative, which is the form of the next word translated as "adversary." The sense seems to combine the two word in a double entendre be "seducing" or "seductive."
|
||||
| eunouchizo | εὐνουχίσθησαν [1 verse](verb 3rd pl aor ind pass) "Made eunuchs" is from a verb form of the word for eunuchs, eunouchizô, that is taken to mean "castrate," but which is only used here in the NT. The normal words for referring to castration are anorchos (without testicles), or alithos (without stones). - The "have made...eunuchs" is the "eunuchize" verb again, but here it is in the form of an adjective, eunuchizing. However, this verb is a little strange in Greek because though it refers to eunuchs doing this to themselves, the verb isn't in that form, possibly because when it comes to making up verbs, this form was a bridge too far. |
||||
| eunouchos | εὐνοῦχοι [1 verse](noun pl masc nom) "Eunuchs" is eunouchos, which "castrated person," "eunuch, and "(of dates) without stones." It means literally "bed watcher," that is, acting as a chamberlain, referring to the fact that castrated men were used as guards for woman's bedrooms. - The word eunuch means literally a "bed watcher," which refers to the role of castrated men guarding sleeping women. It, however, doesn't mean physically castrated as much as "sexless." On the humorous side, it refers to dates "without stones." |
||||

In English today, you would say "well-positioned" to capture the feeling of this word. |
2 | |||
| euthus | εὐθέως [5 verses](adv) "Then" is euthus, which means "straight," "simply," "straightway," forthwith," "immediately," "directly," and "at once." - "At once" is an adverb that means "straight," "simply," "straightway," forthwith," "immediately," "directly," and "at once." |

It literally means "to choose from." - - The Greek verb translated as "pluck..out" means literally to "choose out of," but its primary meaning is "to take out" with a strong secondary means of "to choose." Jesus only uses this word twice, in this verse, and the similar one at Matthew 5:29. In referring to the "eye," it means both taking out the eye for yourself and choosing the best for yourself.

The passive form of the "salted" form only typically applies to sheep, that is, putting out salt for them. It is used in the Septuagint ( Exo 30:35, Lev 2:13, Isa 51:6, Eze 16:4 ) to translate the Hebrew malach, which is translated as "to be rubbed with salt," "to be tempered," and "to be dissipated." - The word translated as "made salty" is another play on words, and, as usual, one that only works in Greek. The Greek verb means "to salt" but it is the passive, future tense. The passive form is usually only used for putting out salt for sheep. However, this Greek verb is used to translated a Hebrew word that means "to be rubbed with salt" and "to dissipate." The "be rubbed with salt" use in the OT is primarily to purify meat for sacrifice but also to its role in tempering blades, but the most common use of salting meat, then and now, was to preserve meat. So the sense is "will it be salted for preservation". |

When the vocative is meant, no article is used or they used ω or ε. See this article. -- The word translated as "the" is the Greek definite article, "the," which usually precedes a noun or changes the word it precedes (adjective, infinitive, participle, etc.) to act like a noun.

Violating such vows betrays the one to whom the vow is made and corrupts the person breaking it. In Jewish law, unmarried women could not commit adultery. A vow is required.

Jesus uses several of them at different times. The most common is "to owe," "to be bound," and "to be obliged." The next means "to strengthen" and to enlarge," and "to increase."

It is a metaphor for "an arrow." -- The word translated as "serpent" is also a kind of fish. The "serpent" was used by Jesus both as a metaphor for wisdom (Mat.10:16) and, of course, an evil cunning. This is a reference to the Hebrew in Genesis 3:1, where the serpent is described as the cleverest of all animals. The bronze or brass snake raised by Moses in the desert to cure the Israelites from snakebite is an symbol for Christ being raised on the cross, John 3:14. |
7 | |||

| opiso | ὀπίσω [15 verses](prep/adv) "Back" is from opiso, which means "back," "behind," and "hereafter." -- The term translated as "back" means "back" in space but "after" in time. It is followed by a possessive which tells us whose back it is. The logic regarding time is that, since the future is unseen, it should be regarded as behind us, whereas the past is known and therefore before our eyes. This seems quite strange to English speakers, but the use of this word in Greek is well-established to mean "future." Our English view coincides with the ancient Greek when discussing books. The "back" of the book in English means the "end" of the book, which is the future for the reader. This use of "back" is identical to the Greek. |
15 | |||
| opsios | Ὀψίας [2 verses](noun sg fem gen) "Evening" is opsios, which means "the latter part of day," and"evening." - The Greek word translated as "evening" means "the latter part of day," and"evening."

| opsis | ὄψιν, [1 verse](noun sg fem acc) "Appearance" is from opsis, which means objectively, the "aspect," "appearance" of a thing, "countenance," "face," "things seen," "sight," but subjectively it means the "power of sight," "vision," the "act of seeing," "organ of sight," "eyes," "view," and "position." -- "Appearance" is a noun only used here that has both an objective and subjective meaning. Here, we are talking about the subject because the topic is judgment so it means the "power of sight," "vision," the "act of seeing," "organ of sight," "eyes," "view," and "position." |

It is a metaphor for mental sight, "to perceive," "to discern," "to see visions," "to appear in visions (passion), and "to interview." -- (CW, WV) "Shall see" is a verb that means "to see," "to behold," "to look," "to aim at," "to look towards," and similar meanings. It is not one of the common words for simply saying"see." Jesus uses this verb in a specific way, in the future tense and the middle voice. The middle voice means that the subject is acting for or by themselves so "will behold for yourself." However, it also has the same root as the Greek word "eye," so "will behold with your own eyes" comes the closest. It is a light-hearted way to make a promise about the future. CW - Confusing Word -- The "see" does not capture the word's specific meaning. WV --Wrong Voice - The verb in the middle voice requires the concept of "yourselves/myself" as its object. |

This is the more formal word for bird, the source of our word for the study of birds, "ornithology." - The word translated as "hen" is the general, formal word for "bird," in Greek. It includes birds of prey and domestic fowls. This is not the word Jesus more commonly uses for birds, which literally means "wing ones." Nor does it mean a female bird, being in a form that can mean either male or female. |

Another, similar word, oreus, which matches oros in some forms means "mule." --The word translated as "mountain" means "mountain" or "hill" but it could also be the word that means "mule." The word is in a form that could indicating the person address, but that form has a number of uses and isn't suggest by the form of the following verb. |

The negative, οὐ, denies, is absolute, and objective. -- The Greek word translated as "not" is the Greek negative used to deny objective facts, not opinions. It means "no," "not," or"no truly." It makes a negative statement of fact. When a negative precedes the verb, it affects the whole clause. When it precedes other words, its force is limited to those words. |
269 | |||
| ou me | οὐ μὴ [39 verses](partic) "Never" is ou me, the two forms of Greek negative used together. Ou is the negative adverb for facts and statements, negating both single words and sentences. Mê (me) is the negative used in prohibitions and expressions of doubt meaning "not" and "no." As οὐ (ou) negates fact and statement; μή rejects, οὐ denies; μή is relative, οὐ absolute; μή subjective, οὐ objective. -- (CW) The "not" here is both of the Greek negatives used together. Greek has two negatives, one objective, one subjective. The use of both together is more extreme, like saying, "never" or literally, "you cannot really think." When a negative precedes the verb, it affects the whole clause. When it precedes other words, its force is limited to those words.

Sometimes it is used to create negative questions where a positive answer is expected. -- The word translated as "not" is a different form of the usual Greek negative of fact meaning "no truly," "assuredly not," "not however," "nevertheless," and "notwithstanding." This word can have a reversing effect, making a negative into a positive, with questions. Used in questions where an affirmative answer is expected. Used in answers where a "yes" must be supplied. Perhaps best translated as an "isn't it?" at the end of the sentence. The fact that ancient Greek has no clear verb form for questions makes interpreting it difficult. CW - Confusing Word -- The "not" does not capture the specific meaning of the word, which is more extreme. |
23 | |||
| oude | οὐδὲ [51 verses](partic) "Neither" is oude, which, as a conjunction, means "but not," "neither," and "nor."

It means literally "call closer." It is used frequently in the Septuagint but it is used to translate a variety of different Hebrew words and those Hebrew words are translated into a number of other Greek words. The prefix, para, means "beside", "from the side of", "from beside,", "from", "issuing from", "near", "by", "with", "along", "past", "beyond" and so on. The based word kaleo, means "call", "summon", and "invite". -- (WW) The Greek word that translated as "comforted," literally means will be "to be called near." So it primarily means "to be summoned" since it is in the passive. It also means "to demand," ("called from") "to encourage," ("called along") and "to excite" (called beyond"). We will see this word again when it is translated as "to call," "to beseech," and "to pray", (Matthew 18:32, Matthew 18:29, and Matthew 26:53). In all of them, "call upon" works best in English both in the sense of "summoned" and "to ask." In Luke 15:28, it is translated as "intreated" (entreated). |

In the Septuagint, it is the translation of the Hebrew qārā' (קָרָא), which means "to call to oneself" or "be called." The prefix primarily generally means "from." -- (CW) "Comforter" is an adjective that means "called to one's aid", "assisting in legal matters", "acting as an advocate", and "summoned." Its acts like a noun when introduced by the definite article. Its sense is "the assistant" but since it root is "invited" perhaps "summoned assistant" is more complete.

Frequently, in past tenses this word means "to have come," "to be at hand." It is not the word usually translated as "give."

When it a body part is the subject the sense is "to suffer" that or "to be ill" in that part. Our word "undergo" captures this idea better. This translation is more specific than the word's meaning. CW --Confusing Word -- "Suffer's" translation is more specific than the word's more general meaning |

| therismos | θερισμοῦ [7 verses](noun sg masc gen) "Of the harvest" is from therismos, which means "mowing," "reaping," "harvest time," "harvest," and "crop." - "Of the harvest" is from a noun which means "mowing," "reaping," "harvest time," "harvest," and "crop." Time of the harvest has a lot of meaning because the Jewish calendar has a number of holidays built around different harvests. The flax harvest (March) is before Passover, which the barley (early May) and wheat (Shavuot - late May) harvests are right after. The grape harvest (August) is before Rosh Hashanah, the Fig Harvest (September) follows before Yom Kippur, Olive Harvest (October) follows, while the Feast of Booths/Tents (Sukkot) is the Fruit Harvest (later October). The golden color here makes it seem like the flax, barley, or wheat harvest. |

A little about the propagation of figs: typically, cutting are taken before the winter and growing out of the ground through the winter (to protect from cold) and planted in the spring.

Two different words are used because this is a reference to Gen 3:18, where two different Hebrew words are used. This means that two different Greek words are used in the Septuagint, the Greek OT.

This was a time when yeast didn't come in little packets but was maintained as a live culture, in this case, in the raw bread dough itself. - "Leaven" means "yeast," the culture that spreads through flour to create the "bubbles" that make bread rise. Leaven produces gas, that is, a type of breath. The Greek word, "breath," also means "spirit." Breath produces words. Words capture ideas. It is Jesus's symbol for ideas that propagate themselves. Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to leaven as well and the ideas of the Pharisees. |
