This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As he came and drew nigh (hōs erchomenos ēggisen). More exactly, “As, coming, he drew nigh,” for erchomenos is present middle participle and ēggisen is aorist active indicative.
Music (sumphōnias). Our word “symphony.” An old Greek word from sumphōnos (sun, together, and phōnē, voice or sound), harmony, concord, by a band of musicians. Here alone in the N.T.
And dancing (kai chorōn). An old word again, but here alone in the N.T. Origin uncertain, possibly from orchos by metathesis (orcheomai, to dance). A circular dance on the green.
