‏ Luke 10:35

 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.
