(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Even the dust (kai ton koniorton). Old word from konis, dust, and ornumi, to stir up. We have seen it already in Mat 10:14; Luk 9:5. Dust is a plague in the east. Shake off even that.

Cleaveth (kollēthenta). First aorist passive participle of kollaō, to cling as dust and mud do to shoes. Hence the orientals took off the sandals on entering a house.

We wipe off (apomassometha). Middle voice of an old verb apomassō, to rub off with the hands. Nowhere else in the N.T. But ekmassō, occurs in Luk 7:38, Luk 7:44.

Against you (Humin). Fine example of the dative of disadvantage (the case of personal interest, the dative).
