This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And will not rather say (all' ouk erei).
But will not say? Ouk in a question expects the affirmative answer.
Gird thyself (perizōsamenos). Direct middle first aorist participle of perizōnnumi, to gird around.
Till I have eaten and drunken (heōs phagō kai piō). More exactly, till I eat and drink. The second aorist subjunctives are not future perfects in any sense, simply punctiliar action, effective aorist.
Thou shalt eat and drink (phagesai kai piesai). Future middle indicative second person singular, the uncontracted forms -esai as often in the Koiné. These futures are from the aorist stems ephagon and epion without sigma.
