Greek Commentary for Matthew 14:24
Like a man with demons (Matthew 8:29). One can see, as Jesus did (Mark 6:48), the boat bobbing up and down in the choppy sea. [source]
Rev., better, distressed. See on Matthew 4:24. [source]
Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Matthew 14:24
Old word from ιστημι histēmi to place. A stated or fixed distance, 606 3/4 feet, both masculine σταδιοι stadioi (Matthew 14:24; Luke 24:13) and neuter as here. Most of the Greek cities had race-courses for runners like that at Olympia. [source]
Allusion to 1 Peter 2:23 (Christ‘s own example).But contrariwise blessing (τουναντιον δε ευλογουντες tounantion de eulogountes). Adverbial accusative and crasis (το εναντιον to enantion) of the neuter article and the adjective εναντιος enantios (εν αντιος enευλογουντες antios opposite, Matthew 14:24), “on the contrary.” For ευλογεω eulogountes (present active participle of ευλογειτε eulogeō) see Luke 6:28; Romans 12:14 (imperative οτι εις τουτο εκλητητε eulogeite).For hereunto were ye called See note on 1 Peter 2:21 for this verb and use of ινα ευλογιαν κληρονομησητε eis touto (pointing to the preceding argument).That ye should inherit a blessing (ινα hina eulogian klēronomēsēte). Purpose clause with κληρονομεω hina and the first aorist active subjunctive of klēronomeō a plain reference to Esau, who wanted “to inherit the blessing” (Hebrews 12:17) after he had sold his birthright. Christians are the new Israel (both Gentiles and Jews) and are the spiritual descendants of Isaac (Galatians 4:22.). [source]
