(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

To wear away (klinein). Old verb usually transitive, to bend or bow down. Many compounds as in English decline, incline, recline, clinic (klinē, bed), etc. Luke alone in the N.T. uses it intransitively as here. The sun was turning down towards setting.

Lodge (katalusōsin). First aorist active subjunctive of kataluō, a common verb, to dissolve, destroy, overthrow, and then of travellers to break a journey, to lodge (kataluma, inn, Luk 2:7). Only here and Luk 19:7 in the N.T. in this sense.

Get victuals (heurōsin episitismon). Ingressive aorist active of heuriskō, very common verb.

Victuals (episitismon, from episitizomai, to provision oneself, sitizō, from siton, wheat) only here in the N.T., though common in ancient Greek, especially for provisions for a journey (snack). See notes on Mar 6:32-44; notes on Mat 14:13-21 for discussion of details.
