From τρυπτω thruptō to break down, to enervate, an old word for luxurious living. See the verb τρυπαω truphaō in James 5:5.In kings‘ courts (εν τοις βασιλειοις en tois basileiois). Only here in the N.T. Matthew 11:8 has it “in kings‘ houses.” Luke 7:26, Luke 7:27 are precisely alike in Matthew 11:9, Matthew 11:10. See note on Matthew 11:9 for discussion. [source]

Literally, before the face of his entering in (here act of entrance as 1 Thessalonians 1:9, not the gate as in Hebrews 10:19). See Malachi 3:1 quoted in Matthew 11:10 (Luke 7:27) for this Hebrew phrase and also Luke 1:76. The baptism of repentance (βαπτισμα μετανοιας baptisma metanoias). Baptism marked by, characterized by (genitive case, case of kind or species) repentance (change of mind and life). The very phrase used of John‘s preaching in Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3. It is clear therefore that Paul understood John‘s ministry and message as did Peter (Acts 2:38; Acts 10:37). [source]
The torment is thus personified. Messenger is the word commonly rendered angel in the New Testament, though sometimes used of human messengers, as Luke 7:24, Luke 7:27; Luke 9:52; James 2:25; see also on the angels of the churches, Revelation 1:20. Messenger and Satan are not to be taken in apposition - a messenger who was Satan - because Satan is never called ἄγγελος in the New Testament. Messenger is figurative, in the sense of agent. Satan is conceived in the New Testament as the originator of bodily evil. Thus, in the gospel narrative, demoniac possession is often accompanied with some form of disease. Compare Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38, and see on 1 Corinthians 5:5. [source]
