Greek Commentary for Matthew 15:32
A parenthetic nominative (Robertson, Grammar, p. 460). [source]
Indirect question with the deliberative subjunctive retained. In the feeding of the five thousand Jesus took compassion on the people and healed their sick (Matthew 14:14). Here the hunger of the multitude moves him to compassion So he is unwilling Unloosed, (εκλυω ekluō) exhausted. [source]
Unloosed, (εκλυω ekluō) exhausted. [source]
The A. V. might easily be mistaken for the simple future of the verb send. But two verbs are used: the verb I will expressing Jesus' feeling or disposition. The Greek order is, and to send them away fasting I am not willing. Therefore Rev. is better: I would not. [source]
Lit., be unstrung or relaxed. [source]

But, as in other cases in the A. V., this may be mistaken for the simple future of the verb; whereas there are two verbs. Therefore, Rev., rightly, It is my will to give. See on Matthew 15:32. [source]

This text preserves a curious parenthetic nominative of time (Robertson, Grammar, p. 460). See note on Matthew 15:32. [source]
First aorist (ingressive) passive indicative of σπλαγχνιζομαι splagchnizomai Often love and pity are mentioned as the motives for Christ‘s miracles (Matthew 14:14; Matthew 15:32, etc.). It is confined to the Synoptics in the N.T. and about Christ save in the parables by Christ.Weep not (μη κλαιε mē klaie). Present imperative in a prohibition. Cease weeping. [source]
Only here in Paul. See Matthew 15:32; Mark 8:3; Hebrews 12:3, Hebrews 12:5. Lit. to be loosened or relaxed, like the limbs of the weary. [source]
Rend. “that ye be not weary, fainting in your minds.” Ἐκλύειν is to loosen, hence, to relax, exhaust. So often in lxx. See Deuteronomy 20:3; Judges 8:15; 1 Samuel 14:28. Comp. Matthew 15:32; Mark 8:3; Galatians 6:9. [source]
