Greek Commentary for Luke 15:10
More exactly, joy arises. Futuristic present of γινομαι ginomai (cf. εσται estai in Luke 15:7). [source]
That is to say, the joy of God himself. The angels are in a sense the neighbours of God. [source]
Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Luke 15:10
In Matthew 23:34 Jesus uses “I send” See Luke 10:22; Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10. Here the future tense occurs, “I will send” (αποστελω apostelō). [source]
Preposition (in a circle) with genitive as in Revelation 4:6; Revelation 5:11. The angels here rejoice in the salvation of men (Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10; 1 Peter 1:12).Upon their faces (επι τα προσωπα αυτων epi ta prosōpa autōn). In reverential worship of God as in Revelation 11:16. For this worship (fell and worshipped) see also Revelation 4:10; Revelation 5:14; Revelation 11:16; Revelation 19:4, Revelation 19:10; Revelation 22:8. The dative τωι τεωι tōi theōi (God) with προσκυνεω proskuneō (to worship) is the usual construction for that meaning. When it means merely to do homage the accusative case is usual in this book (Charles). But in the Fourth Gospel the reverse order is true as to the cases with προσκυνεω proskuneō (Abbott, Joh. Vocab. pp. 138-142). [source]
