Greek Commentary for Luke 9:13
This is a condition of the third class with the aorist subjunctive (αγορασωμεν agorasōmen), where the conjunction is usually εαν ean (with negative εαν μη ean mē), but not always or necessarily so especially in the Koiné. So in 1 Corinthians 14:5 ει μη διερμηνευηι ei mē diermēneuēi and in Philemon 3:12 ει και καταλαβω ei kai katalabō “Unless” is better here than “except.” [source]
(βρωματα brōmata), means eaten pieces from βιβρωσκω bibrōskō to eat, somewhat like our “edibles” or vernacular “eats.” [source]
The ye emphatic, closing the sentence in the Greek order. See on Matthew 14:15. [source]
Compare Mark 6:37. [source]
Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Luke 9:13
John says that Jesus asked Philip to find out what food they had (John 6:5.) probably after the disciples had suggested that Jesus send the crowd away as night was coming on (Mark 6:35.). On this protest to his command that they feed the crowds (Mark 6:37; Matthew 14:16; Luke 9:13) Jesus said “Go see” how many loaves you can get hold of. Then Andrew reports the fact of the lad with five barley loaves and two fishes (John 6:8.). They had suggested before that two hundred pennyworth (δηναριων διακοσιων dēnariōn diakosiōn See note on Matthew 18:28) was wholly inadequate and even that (some thirty-five dollars) was probably all that or even more than they had with them. John‘s Gospel alone tells of the lad with his lunch which his mother had given him. [source]
Pointing back to Luke 9:13, fine example of the Greek article. [source]
Peculiar to John, though the idea is implied in Luke 9:13. [source]
“Eats up (down),” present active indicative of κατεστιω katesthiō any man shall desire Condition of third class with ει ei and first aorist active subjunctive of τελω thelō as in Luke 9:13; Philemon 3:12, but MSS. also read either τελει thelei (present active indicative) or τελησει thelēsei (future active, condition of the first class like the preceding one. The condition is repeated in this changed form, as less likely to happen and with inevitable death (δει αυτον αποκταντηναι dei auton apoktanthēnai must be killed, first aorist passive infinitive of αποκτεινω apokteinō with δει dei).
