Greek Commentary for Luke 11:50
Divinely ordered sequence, first aorist passive subjunctive of το εκκεχυμενον ekzēteō a late and rare verb outside of lxx and N.T., requiring as a debt the blood of the prophets. [source]
Perfect passive participle of εκχυννω ekcheō and εκχυννομενον ekchunnō (an Aeolic form appearing in the margin of Westcott and Hort here, απο καταβολης κοσμου ekchunnomenon present passive participle). If the present passive is accepted, it means the blood which is perpetually shed from time to time.From the foundation of the world (apo katabolēs kosmou). See also Matthew 25:34; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4, etc. It is a bold metaphor for the purpose of God. [source]

Perfect identity of his will with that of the Father in “this moment of spiritual exaltation” (Bernard), though in Gethsemane Jesus distinguishes between his human will and that of the Father (Mark 14:36). Where I am That is heaven, to be with Jesus (John 12:26; John 13:36; John 14:3; Romans 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:11.). That they may behold Another purpose clause with ινα hina and the present active subjunctive of τεωρεω theōreō “that they may keep on beholding,” the endless joy of seeing Jesus “as he is” (1 John 3:2) in heaven. Before the foundation of the world This same phrase in Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:20 and six other times we have καταβολη κοσμου katabolē kosmou (Matthew 25:34; Luke 11:50; Hebrews 4:3; Hebrews 9:26; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 17:8). Here we find the same pre-incarnate consciousness of Christ seen in John 17:5. [source]
Old word from καταβαλλω kataballō to fling down, used of the deposit of seed, the laying of a foundation. This very phrase with προ pro in the Prayer of Jesus (John 17:24) of love of the Father toward the Son. It occurs also in 1 Peter 1:20. Elsewhere we have απο apo (from) used with it (Matthew 25:34; Luke 11:50; Hebrews 4:3; Hebrews 9:26; Revelation 13:8; Revelation 17:8). But Paul uses neither phrase elsewhere, though he has απο των αιωνων apo tōn aiōnōn (from the ages) in Ephesians 3:9. Here in Ephesians 1:3-14. Paul in summary fashion gives an outline of his view of God‘s redemptive plans for the race. That we should be (ειναι ημας einai hēmās). Infinitive of purpose with the accusative of general reference (ημας hēmās). See note on Colossians 1:22 for the same two adjectives and also κατενωπιον αυτου katenōpion autou f0). [source]
Redundant use of genitive ου autou (his) with ων hou (whose) as common in this book, and singular instead of plural παντες hōn with antecedent ου γεγραπται pantes (all, plural), thus calling attention to the responsibility of the individual in emperor-worship.Hath not been written (γραπω ou gegraptai). Perfect passive indicative of εν τωι βιβλιωι της ζωης του αρνιου graphō permanent state, stands written.In the book of life of the Lamb See Revelation 3:5 for this phrase and the O.T. references. It occurs again in Revelation 17:8; Revelation 20:12, Revelation 20:15; Revelation 21:27. “Here and in Revelation 21:27, the Divine Register is represented as belonging to ‹the Lamb that was slain‘” (Swete).That hath been slain from the foundation of the world (απο καταβολης κοσμου tou esphagmenou (for which see Revelation 5:6) απο καταβολης κοσμου apo katabolēs kosmou). For the phrase κοσμου apo katabolēs kosmou (not in the lxx) there are six other N.T. uses (Matthew 13:35 without προ καταβολης κοσμου kosmou Matthew 25:34; Luke 11:50; Hebrews 4:3; Hebrews 9:26; Revelation 17:8), and for του εσπαγμενου pro katabolēs kosmou three (John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; 1 Peter 1:20). It is doubtful here whether it is to be taken with γεγραπται tou esphagmenou (cf. 1 Peter 1:20) or with εσπαγμενου gegraptai as in Revelation 17:8. Either makes sense, and here the most natural use is with esphagmenou At any rate the death of Christ lies in the purpose of God, as in John 3:16. [source]
