Luke

Chapter 18

{Jesus' Prophecy of His Tribulations and Resurrection}
18:31``Then {Jesus} 'taking aside with Himself' {paralambano}
the Twelve . . . saying face to face with them,
"Behold {pay attention}
we are going up to Jerusalem,
and everything that has been written in the past
with the result that it stands written forever {grapho -perfect tense}
by the prophets
about the Son of Man {huios anthropos} . . .
will be accomplished/completed {teleo}.

18:32-33``For He {referring to Himself}
will be 'handed over'/'betrayed over' {paradidomi}
to the Gentiles,
and will be mocked {empaizo}
and 'insolently mistreated' {hubrizo}
and spat on {emptuo}; 18:33``
and, having flogged Him severely,
they will 'inflict mortal death'/'kill' Him
  {apokteino - the generic word for killing someone}.

And on the third day . . . He will rise {anistemi}."

18:34``But the Twelve understood {suniemi}
none of these things . . .
and this saying was being hidden from them . . .
and they absolutely did not {ouk} grasp/
'know from study or experience' {ginosko}
what Jesus 'meant'/'was saying'.

{Note: Either this 'mystery doctrine' was not ready to be comprehended by the students/disciples of Jesus in a supernatural fashion, or maybe, because of the use of the word 'ginosko' we are to understand that these students are still growing in their knowledge of our Lord and Savior . . . and do not yet have the 'doctrine in their soul from study' to understand the meaning of the doctrine of the resurrection.}

{Healing a Blind Man}
18:35``And it came to pass {new subject}
as He {Jesus} approached Jericho,
a blind man kept sitting by the roadside begging.

18:36``Now, hearing a crowd passing by,
he kept on asking
'what was going on - wishing {for something good}'
  {tis touto eien - optative -4th class condition of desire}.

18:37``Then they told him {the blind man},
"Jesus of Nazareth is passing nearby {parerchomai}."

18:38``And he 'called out with joy' {boao} saying,
"Jesus, son {huios} of David . . .
'have mercy on'/'graciously help' me!"
  {eleeo - imperative mood - a request/order}

18:39``And those who were in front {proago} kept on rebuking him,
telling him to be possibly be quiet {siopao - subjunctive mood},
but he kept on shouting out {krazo} even more, "Son of David,
'have mercy on'/'graciously help' me!"
{eleeo - imperative mood - a request/order}

18:40``So Jesus, having come to a standstill,
ordered him {the blind man} to be brought face to face with Him.

Now after the man came near,
He {Jesus} interrogated {eperotao} him, 18:41``
saying, "What do you desire/wish, that I might do for you?"

Now he replied, "Lord {indicating the blind man is a believer},
that I might 'recover my sight'/'see again' {anablepo}."

18:42``And, Jesus said to him,
"Recover your sight {anablepo} . . . your faith
has 'made you well
with results that will last forever' {sozo - perfect tense}."

18:43``And immediately {parachrema}
he 'regained his sight'
and 'kept on following as a student' {akoloutheo} Him {Jesus},
'praising'/'assigning the glory to' {doxazo} God.

And all the people, having seen it,
they too gave praise/'laudatory discourse' {ainos} to God.
