‏ Luke 10:34-35

Bound up his wounds ( κατεδησεν τα τραυματα ). First aorist active indicative of καταδεω, old verb, but here only in the N.T. The verb means "bound down." We say "bind up." Medical detail that interested Luke. The word for "wounds" ( τραυματα ) here only in the N.T.

Pouring on them oil and wine ( επιχεων ελαιον κα οινον ). Old verb again, but here only in the N.T. Oil and wine were household remedies even for wounds (soothing oil, antiseptic alcohol). Hippocrates prescribed for ulcers: "Bind with soft wool, and sprinkle with wine and oil."

Set him ( επιβιβασας ). An old verb επιβιβαζω ( επ, βιβαζω ), to cause to mount. In the N.T. only here and Ac 19:35; 23:24, common in LXX.

Beast ( κτηνος ). Old word from κταομα, to acquire, and so property ( κτημα ) especially cattle or any beast of burden.

An inn ( πανδοχειον ). The old Attic form was πανδοκειον (from παν, all, and δεχομα, to receive). A public place for receiving all comers and a more pretentious caravanserai than a καταλυμα like that in Lu 2:7. Here only in the N.T. There are ruins of two inns about halfway between Bethany and Jericho.

On the morrow ( επ την αυριον ). Towards the morrow as in Ac 4:5. (Cf. also Ac 3:1). Syriac Sinaitic has it "at dawn of the day." An unusual use of επ.

Took out ( εκβαλων ). Second aorist active participle of εκβαλλω. It could mean, "fling out," but probably only means "drew out." Common verb.

Two pence ( δυο δηναρια ). About thirty-five cents, but worth more in purchasing power.

To the host ( τω πανδοχε ). The innkeeper. Here only in the N.T.

Whatsoever thou spendest more ( οτ αν προσδαπανησηις ). Indefinite relative clause with αν and the aorist active subjunctive of προσδαπαναω, to spend besides ( προς ), a late verb for the common προσαναλισκω and here only in the N.T.

I will repay ( εγο αποδωσω ). Emphatic. What he had paid was merely by way of pledge. He was a man of his word and known to the innkeeper as reliable.

When I come back again ( εν τω επανερχεσθα με ). Luke's favourite idiom of εν and the articular infinitive with accusative of general reference. Double compound verb επανερχομα.
