Vincent, [1886]\nTreasury\nSee on Mar 12:41.\nRich\nStanding last and emphatically in the sentence,\" Saw them that were casting, etc. - rich men.\" Not the rich only were casting in. Compare Mar 12:41.\nPoor\nSee on Mat 5:3.\nMites\nSee on Mar 12:42.\nThis poor widow\nSee on Mar 12:43.\nOfferings of God\nThe best texts omit of God. Rev., more simply, unto the gifts.\nPenury (\u1f51\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03c1\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2)\nLit., lack. Rev., neatly, of her want.\nStones\nSee on Mar 13:1.\nOfferings (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nOnly here in New Testament. From \u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9, to set up. Hence of something set up in the temple as a votive offering. Such were the golden vines presented by Herod the Great, with bunches of grapes as large as a man, and mounted above the entrance to the holy place. The magnificent porch of the temple was adorned with many such dedicated gifts, such as a golden wreath which Sosius offered after he had taken Jerusalem in conjunction with Herod; and rich flagons which Augustus and his wife had given to the sanctuary. Gifts were bestowed by princes friendly to Israel, both on the temple and on provincial synagogues. The word \u1f00\u03bd\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03b8 (Gal 1:8, Rev.), is the same word, something devoted, and so devoted to evil and accursed. Luke uses the classical form. The other is the common or Hellenistic form. The two forms develop gradually a divergence in meaning; the one signifying devoted in a good, the other in a bad sense. The same process may be observed in other languages. Thus knave, lad, becomes a rascal: villain, a farmer, becomes a scoundrel: cunning, skilful, becomes crafty.\nBehold (\u03b8\u03b5\u03c9\u03c1\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5)\nSee on Luk 10:18.\nThrown down\nSee on Mar 13:2.\nDeceived\nRev., rightly, led astray. See on Mat 24:4.\nIn my name\nSee on Mat 18:5.\nCommotions (\u1f00\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1\u03c2)\nFrom \u1f00, not, and \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9, to establish. Hence disestablishments; unsettlements. Rev., tumults.\nBe not terrified (\u03bc\u1f74 \u03c0\u03c4\u03bf\u03b7\u03b8\u1fc6\u03c4\u03b5)\nOnly here and Luk 24:37.\nBy and by (\u03b5\u1f50\u03b8\u03ad\u03c9\u03c2)\nBetter as Rev., immediately.\nEarthquakes\nSee on Mar 13:7.\nFamines and pestilences (\u03bb\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u1f76 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03bb\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u1f76)\nSome texts reverse the order of the words. A paronomasia or combination of like-sounding words: limoi, loimoi. Especially common in Paul's epistles.\nFearful sights (\u03c6\u03bf\u03b2\u03b7\u03c4\u03c1\u03ac)\nOnly here in New Testament, and rare in classical Greek. In Septuagint, Isaiah 19:17. Not confined to sights, but fearful things. Rev., better, terrors. Used in medical language by Hippocrates, of fearful objects imagined by the sick.\nIt shall turn (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b2\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., turn out; issue.\nTo answer\nSee on answer, Pe1 3:15.\nPossess ye (\u03ba\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5)\nWrong. See on Luk 18:12. Rev. rightly, ye shall win.\nVengeance (\u1f10\u03ba\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03c9\u03c2)\nOf rendering full justice, or satisfaction. See on avenge, Luk 18:3.\nDistress (\u1f00\u03bd\u03ac\u03b3\u03ba\u03b7)\nOriginally constraint, necessity; thence force or violence, and in the classical poets, distress, anguish.\nEdge (\u03c3\u03c4\u03cc\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b9)\nLit., the mouth. So Wyc. Either in the sense of the foremost part, or picturing the sword as a devouring monster. In Heb 11:33, Heb 11:34, the word is used in both senses: \"the mouths of lions;\" \"the edge of the sword.\"\nLed away captive\nSee on captives, Luk 4:18.\nTrodden down\nDenoting the oppression and contempt which shall follow conquest.\nSigns (\u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u1fd6\u03b1)\nSee on Mat 24:24.\nDistress (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c7\u1f74)\nOnly here and Co2 2:4. Kindred with \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03bf\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03b7, taken (Luk 4:38), on which see note. The original idea of the word is being held in a tight grasp.\nWith perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring\nThe A. V. follows the reading \u1f20\u03c7\u03bf\u03cd\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2, the participle, roaring. The proper reading is \u1f20\u03c7\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c2 the noun, the roaring. Render perplexity for the roaring of the sea, etc. \u1f28\u03c7\u03ce, roaring, is properly a returned sound, an echo. Generally a ringing sound, as of the blows on an anvil.\nWaves (\u03c3\u03ac\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5)\nOnly here in New Testament. The radical notion of the word is unsteady motion, especially the rolling swell of the sea. Rev., better, billows.\nFailing (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03c8\u03c5\u03c7\u03cc\u03bd\u03c4\u03c9\u03bd)\nOnly here in New Testament. The word originally means to leave off breathing; to swoon. Thus Homer, when Laertes recognizes Ulysses:\n\"He threw\nRound his dear son his arms. The hardy chief,\nUlysses, drew him fainting (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03c8\u03cd\u03c7\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1) to his heart.\"\nOdyssey, xxiv., 846.\nSo also Sophocles, of Hector dragged behind Achilles' chariot:\n\"He breathed out his life (\u1f00\u03c0\u03ad\u03c8\u03c5\u03be\u03b5\u03bd \u03b2\u03af\u03bf\u03bd).\nAjax, 1031.\nMatthew alone uses the simple verb, \u03c8\u03cd\u03c7\u03c9, to breathe or blow. See on wax cold, Mat 24:12. Luke uses four compounds of this simple verb, all of which are peculiar to him. Compare cool, Luk 16:24; refreshing, Act 3:19; gave up the ghost, Act 5:5, Act 5:10.\nExpectation (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03b4\u03bf\u03ba\u03af\u03b1\u03c2)\nOnly here and Act 12:11.\nThe world\nSee on Luk 2:1.\nShall be shaken (\u03c3\u03b1\u03bb\u03b5\u03c5\u03b8\u03ae\u03c3\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9)\nCompare Mat 11:7; Luk 6:38; Act 4:31; Heb 12:26, Heb 12:27. The root of the verb is the same as that of billows, Luk 21:25.\nLook up\nSee on Luk 13:11. Graphic, as implying being previously bowed down with sorrow.\nRedemption (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03cd\u03c4\u03c1\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03c2)\nSee on lettest depart, Luk 2:29.\nParable\nSee on Mat 24:32.\nYe see (\u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2)\nLit., \"looking, ye know,\" etc. Implying careful observation, with a view to determine the progress of the season.\nKnow (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5)\nPerceive would be better.\nCome to pass (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03b1)\nThe present participle. Rev., more correctly, \"coming to pass'\" in process of fulfilment. Compare Mar 13:29.\nOvercharged (\u03b2\u03b1\u03c1\u03b7\u03b6\u1ff6\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd)\nWeighed down. Compare Luk 9:32; Co2 5:4.\nSurfeiting (\u03ba\u03c1\u03b1\u03b9\u03c0\u03ac\u03bb\u1fc3)\nOnly here in New Testament. Derivation uncertain: akin to the Latin crapula, intoxication. Trench finds an equivalent in fulsomeness, in its original sense of fulness. In the medical writings it is used of drunken nausea or headache.\nDrunkenness (\u03bc\u03ad\u03b8\u1fc3)\nCompare are well drunk, Joh 2:10. This and kindred words in the New Testament always refer to intoxication, or that which intoxicates. See note on Joh 2:10.\nCares (\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03af\u03bc\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9\u03c2)\nSee on Mat 6:25.\nOf this life (\u03b2\u03b9\u03c9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03b1\u1fd6\u03c2)\nThe rendering is too general; though it might be difficult to give a better. \u0392\u03af\u03bf\u03c2, life, means life considered either as to its duration (Pe1 4:3); the means of support (Mar 12:44; Luk 8:43; Luk 21:4; Jo1 3:17); or the manner of leading it (Ti1 2:2). The meaning here is pertaining to the support or luxury of life; and so in the only other passages where it occurs, Co1 6:3, Co1 6:4. The parallel is Mat 6:31. Wyc., business of this life.\nSuddenly (\u03b1\u1f30\u03c6\u03bd\u03af\u03b4\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2)\nOnly here and Th1 5:3.\nAs a snare\nJoin with the previous sentence: \"come suddenly as a snare.\" Compare entangle, Mat 22:15.\nWatch\nSee on Mar 13:33.\nAbode (\u03b7\u1f50\u03bb\u03af\u03b6\u03b5\u03c4\u03bf)\nOnly here and Mat 21:17.\nCame early in the morning (\u1f64\u03c1\u03b8\u03c1\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03bd)\nOnly here in New Testament.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Luke: Luke Chapter 21","type":"page"}
