Revelation of John 17:17
Did put ( εδωκεν ). "Did give" (first aorist active of διδωμ.To do his mind ( ποιησα την γνωμην αυτου ). Epexegetic first aorist active infinitive of ποιεω after εδωκεν, as often in this book. They are of one mind (verse 13) because God put them up to it, clear statement of God's over-ruling hand among the nations.
Until the words of God should be accomplished ( αχρ τελεσθησοντα ο λογο του θεου ). Temporal clause about the future with αχρ (like εως ), with the future indicative of τελεω, but with aorist passive subjunctive τελεσθωσιν in 15:8. For τελεω see also 10:7. For "the words of God" see 19:9. They will be fulfilled.
