This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Taketh away
Or is taking away. He was not yet dispossessed, as is shown by what follows.
I cannot (οὐκ ἰσχύω)
See on Luk 14:30. “I have not strength.” His luxurious life had unfitted him for hard labor. In Aristophanes (“Birds,” 1431), a sycophant is asked: “Tell me, being a young man, do you lodge informations against strangers?” He replies: “Yes; why should I suffer, for I know not how to dig ?”
To beg (ἐπαιτεῖν)
See on besought, Mat 15:23.
