Matthew alone uses the simple verb, úxw, to breathe or blow. See on wax cold, Matt. xxiv. 12. Luke uses four compounds of this simple verb, all of which are peculiar to him. Compare cool, ch. xvi. 24; refreshing, Acts iii. 19; gave up the ghost, Acts v. 5, 10.

Expectation (πроσdoкías). Only here and Acts xii. 11.

The world. See on ch. ii. 1.

Shall be shaken (oaλevdýoovtai). Compare Matt. xi. 7; Luke vi. 38; Acts iv. 31; Heb. xii. 26, 27. The root of the verb is the same as that of billows, ver. 25.

28. Look up. See on ch. xiii. 11. Graphic, as implying being previously bowed down with sorrow.

Surfeiting (paináλn). Only here in New Testament. Derivation uncertain: akin to the Latin crapula, intoxication. Trench finds an equivalent in fulsomeness, in its original sense of fulness. In the medical writings it is used of drunken nausea or headache.

Drunkenness (μén). Compare are well drunk, John ii.10. This and kindred words in the New Testament always refer to intoxication, or that which intoxicates. See note on John ii. 10.

Cares (uepíuvais). See on Matt. vi. 25.

Of this life (BiwTiKaîs). The rendering is too general; though it might be difficult to give a better. Buós, life, means life considered either as to its duration (1 Pet. iv. 3); the means of support (Mark xii. 44; Luke viii. 43; xxi. 4; 1 John iii. 17); or the manner of leading it (1 Tim. ii. 2). The meaning here is pertaining to the support or luxury of life; and so in the only other passages where it occurs, 1 Cor. vi. 3, 4. The parallel is Matt. vi. 31. Wyc., business of this life.

Suddenly (aipvidios). Only here and 1 Thess. v. 3.

29. I appoint (Siaтideμai). Implying allotment: assigning in the course of distribution (diá). Wyc., dispose. Luke is especially fond of compounds with dia.

31. Hath desired (enτýσaтo). Only here in New Testament. It sometimes means to obtain by asking, or to beg off. So Xenophon," Anabasis," i., 1, 3. The mother of Cyrus, who is charged with an attempt to kill his brother, begged him off (ékaiтnσaμévn). Rev., in margin, obtained you by asking. The result proved that Satan had obtained him for the time.

37. Have an end (Téλos exeɩ). The phrase is synonymous with be accomplished (TEλeovai, Rev., fulfilled). In classical Greek this latter word is often used of the fulfilment of an oracle also of things which are settled beyond controversy. The two expressions here give the two meanings. The prophecy is fulfilled; the things concerning me are finally settled.

39-46. Compare Matt. xxvi. 30, 36-46; Mark xiv. 26, 32-42.

40. The place. See on Gethsemane, Matt. xxvi. 36.

41. Was withdrawn (àπeσπáo.In). The Vulgate has avulsus est, "he was torn away," as by an inward urgency. Godet adopts this view, and so, apparently, Wyc., he was taken away. Meyer inclines to it; De Wette decidedly rejects it. Compare Acts xxi. 1.

Prayed. Imperfect, began to pray.
