Greek Commentary for Luke 9:16
Pointing back to Luke 9:13, fine example of the Greek article. [source]
Imperfect active of διδωμι didōmi kept on giving. This picturesque imperfect is preceded by the aorist κατεκλασεν kateklasen (brake), a single act. This latter verb in the N.T. only here and the parallel in Mark 6:41, though common enough in ancient Greek. We say “break off” where here the Greek has “break down” (or thoroughly), perfective use of κατα kata f0). [source]
Note the two tenses, as in Mark 6:41, and see note there. [source]
Lit., to set beside, since the table was at the side of the guest. A common word for serving up a meal. Compare Luke 10:8; Acts 16:34. From the sense of placing beside, comes that of putting in charge, committing (Luke 12:48; Luke 23:46; 1 Timothy 1:18). Hence the kindred noun παραθήκη (2 Timothy 1:12), a deposit: that which f halve committed. [source]
