Luk 10:18 | RWP | e4.org | I beheld Satan fallen ( εθεωρουν τον Σαταναν πεσοντα ). Imperfect active (I was beholding) and second aorist (constative) active participle of πιπτω (not fallen , πεπτωκοτα , perfect active participle, nor falling , πιπτοντα , present active participle, but fall , πεσοντα ). As a flash of lightning out of heaven, quick and startling, so the victory of the Seventy over the demons, the agents of Satan, forecast his downfall and Jesus in vision pictured it as a flash of lightning.
