Vincent, [1886]\nWe found\nIn a judicial sense: as the result of their examination before the council.\nWere the more fierce (\u1f10\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03c7\u03c5\u03bf\u03bd)\nOnly here in New Testament. The verb means, literally, to grow strong. See on Luk 14:30; and Luk 16:3. Here the sense is, they were more energetic and emphatic. Rev., urgent. Wyc., waxed stronger.\nStirreth up (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c3\u03b5\u03af\u03b5\u03b9)\nSee on Mar 15:11. The increased urgency is shown by the use of a stronger word than perverteth (Luk 23:2).\nOf Galilee\nThe best texts omit.\nSent (\u1f00\u03bd\u03ad\u03c0\u03b5\u03bc\u03c8\u03b5\u03bd)\nLit., sent him up (\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1). Used of sending up to a higher court. Compare Act 25:21, of sending Paul to Caesar. It also means to send back, as in Luk 23:11, and Plm 1:11.\nOf a long time (\u1f10\u03be \u1f31\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u1fe6)\nSee on Luk 7:6.\nHoped (\u1f24\u03bb\u03c0\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03bd)\nImperfect; was hoping - all this long time.\nMiracle (\u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b5\u1fd6\u03bf\u03bd)\nSee on Mat 11:20; and compare Act 2:22, Rev.\nMany (\u1f31\u03ba\u03b1\u03bd\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2)\nCompare long, Luk 23:8.\nVehemently (\u03b5\u1f50\u03c4\u03cc\u03bd\u03c9\u03c2)\nOnly here and Act 18:28, of the preaching of Apollos. Originally the word means well-strung; hence, in medical language, of a well-toned body.\nGorgeous (\u03bb\u03b1\u03bc\u03c0\u03c1\u1f70\u03bd)\nLit., bright or brilliant. Compare Act 10:30; Rev 15:6. Wyc. and Tynd., white. Mark has purple (\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03c6\u03cd\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd), and Matthew scarlet (\u03ba\u03bf\u03ba\u03ba\u03af\u03bd\u03b7\u03bd).\nApparel (\u1f10\u03c3\u03b8\u1fc6\u03c4\u03b1)\nThe general term for raiment. Matthew specifies the garment (Mat 27:28). Mark has simply purple (Mar 15:17).\nPerverteth (\u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c6\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1)\nAnother compound of \u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c6\u03c9, to turn; \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c6\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1 is rendered by the same word in Luk 23:2. Probably the words are used without any intentional distinction of meaning. \u0394\u03b9\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c6\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1 implies more of the idea of distraction (compare Wyc., turning upside down); turning different ways; while \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c6\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1 emphasizes the turning away (\u1f00\u03c0\u03cc) of the people from their civil and religious allegiance. So Wyc., turning away.\nExamined (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2)\nOriginally implying a thorough examination; \u1f00\u03bd\u03ac, up, from bottom to top. Technically, of a legal examination.\nChastise (\u03c0\u03b1\u03b9\u03b4\u03b5\u03cd\u03c3\u03b1\u03c2)\nOriginally to bring up a child (\u03c0\u03b1\u1fd6\u03c2). Hence, to instruct; so Act 7:22, of Moses instructed in the wisdom of the Egyptians; and Act 22:3, of Paul instructed in the law. To discipline or correct, as Heb 12:6, Heb 12:7. The word is not synonymous with punish, since it always implies an infliction which contemplates the subject's amendment; and hence answers to chastise or chasten. So Heb 12:10; Rev 3:19. In popular speech chastise and punish are often confounded. Chasten is from the Latin castus, \"pure,\" \"chaste ;\" and to chasten is, properly, to purify. This meaning underlies even the use of the word by Pilate, who was not likely to be nice in his choice of words. Instead of punishing him with death, he will chastise him, in order to teach him better. So Wyc., I shall deliver him amended.\nAll together (\u03c0\u03b1\u03bc\u03c0\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u03b5\u1f76)\nThe whole multitude (\u03c0\u03bb\u1fc6\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2) of them. Only here in New Testament.\nAway (\u03b1\u1f36\u03c1\u03b5)\nLit., take away. Compare Act 21:36; Act 22:22.\nWho (\u1f45\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03c2)\nClassifying him. One of such a kind as that he had been imprisoned, etc.\nSpake (\u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03b5\u03c6\u03ce\u03bd\u03b7\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd)\nAddressed. Compare Act 21:40; Act 22:2. Always in the New Testament in the sense of to accost, whether an individual or a crowd.\nShouted (\u1f10\u03c0\u03b5\u03c6\u03ce\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd)\nImperfect. Kept shouting. Used by Luke only. Compare Act 12:22; Act 22:24.\nSaid (\u03b5\u1f36\u03c0\u03b5\u03bd)\nDropping the speech-making tone, and simply asking a question.\nThey were instant (\u1f10\u03c0\u03ad\u03ba\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf)\nInstant, in the sense of urgent, pressing. See on Luk 7:4. Compare Rom 12:12; Ti2 4:2; Luk 7:4; Act 26:7. The verb means to lie upon, and answers to our vulgarism, to lay one's self down to work. Compare Aristophanes, \"Knights,\" 253: \u03ba\u1f00\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03b5\u03af\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 \u03b2\u03cc\u03b1, roar with all your might. Lit., roar, lying down to it.\nTheir voices\nOmit of the chief priests.\nPrevailed (\u03ba\u03b1\u03af\u03c3\u03c7\u03c5\u03bf\u03bd)\nHad power (\u1f30\u03c3\u03c7\u03cd\u03c2) to bear down (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac) the remonstrances of Pilate. Only here and Mat 16:18.\nGave sentence (\u1f10\u03c0\u03ad\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03bd\u03b5\u03bd)\nPronounced the final sentence. Only here in New Testament.\nLaid hold on (\u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03bb\u03b1\u03b2\u03cc\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9)\nCompare the peculiar word used by Matthew and Mark. See on Mat 5:41.\nHills (\u03b2\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2)\nOnly here and Luk 3:5.\nTree (\u03be\u03cd\u03bb\u1ff3)\nOriginally wood, timber. In later Greek, a tree. Used of the cross by Peter, Act 5:30; Act 10:39; and Pe1 2:24. Compare Gal 3:13.\nTwo other\nThe possible omission of a comma before malefactors in the A. V. might make a very awkward and unpleasant statement. Better Rev., two others, malefactors.\nPut to death (\u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u03b5\u03b8\u1fc6\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., to take up and carry away; so that the Greek idiom answers to our taken off. So Shakspeare:\n\"The deep damnation of his taking off.\"\nMacbeth, i., 7.\n\"Let her who would be rid of him, devise\nHis speedy taking off.\"\nLear, v., 1.\nCalvary (\u039a\u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03af\u03bf\u03bd)\nThe Greek word is the translation of the Hebrew Golgotha. See on Mat 27:33.\nBeholding\nSee on Luk 10:18.\nScoffed\nSee on Luk 16:14.\nIf he\nThe A. V. does not give the contemptuous emphasis on \u03bf\u1f57\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2, this fellow.\nComing to him\nComing up close to the cross.\nVinegar\nSee on Mat 27:34.\nSuperscription\nSee on Mar 15:26.\nRailed (\u1f10\u03b2\u03bb\u03b1\u03c3\u03c6\u03ae\u03bc\u03b5\u03b9)\nImperfect: kept up a railing.\nReceive\nAre receding would be better.\nAmiss (\u1f04\u03c4\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd)\nLit., out of place, and so strange, eccentric, perverse; as in Th2 3:2, where it is rendered unreasonable. The expression here answers nearly to our familiar phrase, \"has done nothing out of the way.\" Compare Act 28:6; no harm.\nInto thy kingdom\nSome texts read for \u03b5\u1f30\u03c2, into, \u1f10\u03bd, in. So Rev. In that case we must understand, \"in thy kingly glory.\"\nIn Paradise (\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b4\u03b5\u03af\u03c3\u1ff3)\nOriginally an enclosed park, or pleasure-ground. Xenophon uses it of the parks of the Persian kings and nobles. \"There (at Celaenae) Cyrus had a palace and a great park (\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03b4\u03b5\u03b9\u03c3\u03bf\u03c2), full of wild animals, which he hunted on horseback....Through the midst of the park flows the river Maeander (\"Anabasis,\" i., 2, 7). And again' \"The Greeks encamped near a great and beautiful park, thickly grown with all kinds of trees\" (ii., 4, 14.) In the Septuagint, Genesis 2:8, of the garden of Eden. In the Jewish theology, the department of Hades where the blessed souls await the resurrection; and therefore equivalent to Abraham's bosom (Luk 16:22, Luk 16:23). It occurs three times in the New Testament: here; Co2 12:4; Rev 2:7; and always of the abode of the blessed.\n\"Where'er thou roam'st, one happy soul, we know,\nSeen at thy side in woe,\nWaits on thy triumph - even as all the blest\nWith him and Thee shall rest.\nEach on his cross, by Thee we hang awhile,\nWatching thy patient smile,\nTill we have learn'd to say, ' 'Tis justly done,\nOnly in glory, Lord, thy sinful servant own.'\"\nKeble, Christian Year.\nSixth hour\nMidday.\nNinth hour\nSee on Mat 27:46.\nVeil\nSee on Mat 27:51.\nI commend (\u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b5\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9)\nSee on Luk 9:16.\nGave up the ghost (\u1f10\u03be\u03ad\u03c0\u03bd\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd)\nLit., breathed out (his life). Wyc., sent out the spirit. See on Mat 27:50.\nThat followed (\u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03b8\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9)\nLit., followed with (\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd). So Rev. See on Mat 27:55.\nCouncillor\nSee on Mar 15:43. Matthew calls him rich; Mark, honorable; Luke, good and just.\nConsented (\u03c3\u03c5\u03b3\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2)\nOnly here in New Testament. Another of Luke's numerous compounds. The Greek student will be struck with the array of compounds, from Luk 23:49 to Luk 23:56, inclusive. The verb means to put (\u03c4\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9), down (\u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03ac), along with (\u03c3\u03cd\u03bd). Hence to put down the same vote or opinion with another: to agree with or assent to.\nLinen (\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd\u03b4\u03cc\u03bd\u03b9)\nSee on Mar 14:51; and compare Luk 16:19.\nHewn in stone (\u03bb\u03b1\u03be\u03b5\u03c5\u03c4\u1ff7)\nOnly here in New Testament, and not at all in classical Greek.\nReturned (\u1f51\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03ad\u03c8\u03b1\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9)\nThis word occurs thirty-two times in Luke, and only three times in the rest of the New Testament. It is a significant fact that, reckoning the aggregate space occupied by the four Gospels, nearly one-sixth of the whole amount is occupied with the account of the twenty-four hours beginning with the last supper and ending with the burial of Jesus. There is no day in all Bible history narrated with the fulness of that day. If we possessed the whole life of Christ, written with the same detail, the record would occupy one hundred and eighty volumes as large as the whole Bible.","title":"Vincent's Word Studies: Luke: Luke Chapter 23","type":"page"}
