Greek Commentary for Luke 8:41
Imperfect of υπαρχω huparchō in sense of ην ēn as in modern Greek. Common in Luke, and Acts, but not in other Gospels. [source]
The name of one of the Israelite chiefs, Jair, who conquered and settled Bashan (Numbers 32:41; Joshua 13:30). “His name lingered down to the time of the Christian era, when, in the same region as that which he conquered, we find a ruler of the synagogue named Jair” (Stanley, “Jewish Church”)i1. [source]
Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Luke 8:41
The word “house” is not in the Greek here as in Mark 5:35 where απο apo is used rather than παρα para as here. But the ruler himself had come to Jesus (Luke 8:41) and this is the real idea. [source]
Note the use of υπαρχω huparchō as in Luke 8:41; Luke 23:50. The comparative μικροτερος mikroteros is in accord with the Koiné idiom where the superlative is vanishing (nearly gone in modern Greek). But great (μεγας megas) is positive and very strong. This saying peculiar to Luke here. [source]
