    Matthew 9:35-10:8, (9-23)

    (9:35)

    περιῆγεν - imperfect active περιάγω = “to take or bring along, lead around; to

    travel about in various locations, go around, go about, (intransitive) go around,

    go about” under BDAG 798b.

    κώμη, ης, ἡ = “a relatively small community with a group of houses, village, a

    small town; the inhabitants of a village” under BDAG 580a.

    κηρύσσων - present active participle κηρύσσων - present active participle

    κηρύσσω = “announce, make known (by a herald), proclaim aloud, speak of,

    mention publicly” under BAGD 431a.

    νόσος, ου, ὁ = “physical malady, disease, illness (frequently viewed in

    Mediterranean society as socially devaluating); moral malady, disease” under

    BDAG 679a.

    μαλακία, ας, ἡ = “condition of bodily weakness, debility, weakness, sickness;

    condition of inner weakness, faint-heartedness, despondency, lack of energy”

    under BDAG 613a.

    Grammatical note = The Article with Substantives. The article with substantive

    lies at the core of the NT use of the article. In such instances the article

    particularizes a substantive of uses it generically. “The individualizing article

    particularizes, distinguishing otherwise similar objects; the generic (of categorical)

    article is used to distinguish one category of individuals from another”. It is

    essential to remember that the article can function with not just nouns but virtually

    any part of speech. The article can take almost any non-substantive and make it

    function like a substantive. This includes adverbs adjectives participles infinitives

    prepositional phrases particles even entire clauses statements or quotations. The

    role of the article in such instances is to conceptualize.

    The Particularizing Article. The particularizing article serves to “identify or

    denote persons or things and to distinguish them from all others”. This is the

    article’s basic function. The most important subcategories of the individualizing

    article include the following: (1) identification (2) par excellence (3) monadic (one

    of a king) (4) with abstract nouns and (5) previous references (anaphoric). The

    following examples illustrate these various instances of the individualizing article.

    3. Monadic (“one-of-a-kind”). “A substantive is monadic when it is the only such thing there is”. As Wallace

    explains the article par excellence points to an extreme class while the monadic

    article points to a unique class. Wallace elaborates “when the articular is par

    excellence has an adjunct (such as an adjective or gen phrase) the entire expression

    often suggests a monadic notion. If no modifier is used the article is typically par

    excellence”. Thus in Mark 9:47 “the kingdom of God” is monadic while in

    Matthew 9:35 “the kingdom” is par excellence. See KMP, 155-156 and n19.

    (9:36)

    ἐσπλαγχνίσθη - aorist passive σπλαγχνίζομαι = “have pity, feel sympathy with

    (or) for someone” under BDAG 938b.

    ἐσκυλμένοι - perfect passive participle σκύλλω = “weary, harass; trouble,

    bother, annoy; trouble oneself (by taking an interest in)” under BDAG 933a.

    Very rare.

    ἐρριμμένοι - perfect passive participle ῥίπτω ῥιπτέω = “to propel something with a

    forceful motion, throw; (with no connotation of violence but context may indicate

    some degree of rapidity, put/lay, something down” under BDAG 906a.

    πρόβατον, ου, τό = “sheep; people of God, sheep” under BDAG 866a.

    ποιμήν, ένος, ὁ = “one who herds sheep, shepherd, sheep-herder; one ho serves

    as guardian or leader, shepherd; pastor” under BDAG 843a.

    Grammatical note = Intensive Pluperfect. Like the intensive perfect the

    intensive pluperfect is on the results brought about by a past action. With the

    pluperfect both action and the result are in the past. “The focus here is upon a state

    which existed in the past with implications of a prior occurrence which produced

    it”. This use is different from the aorist because the aorist does not give

    information about the resulting state of the past action. It is usually best to translate

    this use as a simple past tense. These verbs are usually found in historical

    narratives.

    For periphrastic pluperfects see Matthew 9:36 (ἦσαν ἐσκυλμένοι). See KMP, 304-

    305 and n68.

  • 3

    Grammatical note = Pluperfect Periphrastic (imperfect form of εἰμί [ἤμην] +

    perfect participle. For more examples of pluperfect periphrastics see Matthew 9:36

    (ἦσαν ἐσκυλμένοι… ἐρριμμένοι). See KMP, 343-344 and n73.

    (9:37)

    θερισμός, οῦ, ὁ = “the process (and time) of harvesting, harvest; crop to be

    harvested, harvest” under BDAG 453b.

    ὀλίγος, η, ον = “(quantitative) few (in number), (a) few (opposite πολλοι),

    (singular) (of little, small, short quantity), (of duration), (the neuter ὀλιγον in

    adverbial expressions) a little, in brief, in a short time, quickly” under BAGD

    563b.

    Grammatical note = The Article and Adjective. Predicate Use. In the predicate

    use of the adjective, a quality is predicated about the subject, frequently by way of

    a linking verb… As noted above, predicate adjectives are never immediately

    preceded by the article. A verb, usually a copulative (linking) verb, is used to join a

    noun or substantive to an adjective which predicates or ascribes a quality to that

    term. In some instances, the verb is made explicit… In other cases, the verb is

    merely implied, as in Mark 9:50: “Salt is good”. To keep things a bit simpler, in

    the examples below we will treat uses with or without verbs jointly and focus

    primarily on whether or not a given instances includes or does not include the

    article (and in which order the article, the adjective, and the noun are found.

    δεήθητε - aorist passive imperative δέομαι = “to ask for something pleadingly, ask,

    request” under BDAG 218a.

  • 4

    ἐκβάλῃ - aorist active subjunctive ἐκβάλλω = “force to leave, drive out, expel; to

    cause to go or remove from a position (without force), send out/away, release,

    bring out; to cause something to be removed from something, take out, remove;

    to pay no attention to, disregard; to bring something about, cause to happen,

    bring” under BDAG 299a.

    ἐργάτης, ου, ὁ = “one who is engaged in work, worker, laborer; (of persons

    engaged in physical labor); (in transferred sense of apostles and teachers); one who

    effects something through work, a doer (with genitive)” under BDAG 390a.

    ὀλίγος, η, ον = “(quantitative) few (in number), (a) few (opposite πολλοι),

    (singular) (of little, small, short quantity), (of duration), (the neuter ὀλιγον in

    adverbial expressions) a little, in brief, in a short time, quickly” under BAGD

    563b.

    (10:1)

    προσκαλεσάμενος - aorist middle participle προσκαλέω = “to call to or notify in

    orer to secure someone’s presence, call on, call to oneself, invite (someone); (in

    transferred sense of God’s invitation to share in the benefits of salvation) call (to)

    (God or Christ, to faith, and so on); to call in a legal or official sense, call in,

    summon (for inquiry); call (to a special task or office)” under BDAG 881a.

    ἔδωκεν - aorist active δίδωμι.

    Grammatical note = Infinitives. Purpose. A purpose infinitive communicates the

    goal or intent of an action or state expressed by the controlling verb. Students

    oftentimes have difficulty distinguishing between a purpose and a result infinitive.

    The main difference is that a purpose infinitive indicates an intended result,

    whereas a result infinitive indicates what has actually already resulted (or a

    conceived result). The function of a purpose infinitive is similar to ἱνα + infinitive.

    A purpose infinitive can be tested by adding the words “in order to” or “for the

    purpose of” directly in front of the infinitive. Purpose infinitives can be identified

    when they are the objects of prepositions. Although they can occur as simple

    infinitives… they also occur with the article του or after the prepositions εις το and

    προς το. It is usually sufficient simple to translate the purpose infinitive with “to” +

    the verbal meaning. At times, it might be better to use “that”, “so that”, “in order

    that” or “in order to”. “Purpose clauses often occur after verbs of motion (such as

  • 5

    ἐροχομαι, -βαινω, and πορευομαι, sending (such as ἀποστελλω), giving (such as

    διδωμι), and choosing (such as ἐκλεγομαι)”.

    Purpose infinitives are rarely found after ὥστε or ὡς (see Matthew 10:1 [ὥστε

    ἐκβάλλειν... θεραπεύειν]. See KMP, 362 and n20.

    (10:2)

    (10:3)

    τελώνης, ου, ὁ = “tax-collector, revenue officer (the τ. in the synoptic are not the

    holders of the ‘taxfarming’ contracts themselves, but subordinates hired by them;

    the higher officials were usually foreigners, but their underlings were, as a rule,

    taken from the native population)” under BDAG 999a.

    preservation, give over, commend, commit; to pass on to another what one

    knows, of oral or written tradition, hand down, pass on, transmit, relate, teach;

    to make it possible for something to happen, allow, permit” under BDAG 761b.

    ἀπέλθητε - aorist active subjunctive ἀπέρχομαι.

    εἰσέλθητε - aorist active subjunctive εἰσέρχομαι.

    (10:6)

    πορεύεσθε - present middle imperative προσέρχομαι.

    μᾶλλον = “to a greater or higher degree, more; for a better reason, rather, all the

    more; more (surely), more (certainly), how much more surely to you; marker of an

    alternative to something, rather (in the sense of) instead” under BDAG 613b.

    destruction; ruin, destroy; to fail to obtain what one expects or anticipates, lose

    out on, lose; to lose something that one already has or be separated from a normal

    connection, lose, be lost” under BDAG 115b.

    ἤγγικεν - perfect active ἐγγίζω = “to move in space and so draw closer to a

    reference point, draw near, come near, approach; to draw near to a temporal

    sense, draw near, come near, approach” under BDAG 270a.

    Grammatical note = Sentences Diagramming and Discourse Analysis. Going

    Deeper. Matthew 28:18-20 (the “Great Commission”) is frequently used to

    challenge people to follow Jesus overseas as full-time career missionaries. The

    student will note that there is only one explicit imperative in the Greek text,

    μαιητεύσατε. There are three participles… Matthew frequently uses participles that

    communicate attendant circumstances alongside main verbs. Bible translators are

    correct to see here contextual markers pointing to πορευθέντες being employed to

    communicate attendant circumstance - functioning imperatively alongside the main

    imperative verb. Nevertheless in translating πορευθέντες as an imperative a

    structural nuance from the original Greek is lost. Had Matthew wanted to line up

    imperatives side by side he easily could have (such as 2 Timothy 4:2). Yet be using

    one imperative and three grammatically dependent participles Matthew emphasizes

    the centrality of “making disciples” in Jesus’s final instructions. Certainly disciples

    cannot be made without “locomotive infinitive” (going); neither are disciples made

    without imitation/form declaration of allegiance (baptizing) or instruction

    (teaching). However the “neon flashing sign” in the Greek text is the word

    μαθητεύσατε (“make disciples”).

    Note also other instances in Matthew’s Gospel where a (passive) participial form

    of πορεύομαι precedes an imperative; such as… Matthew 10:7. In each case the

    primary emphasis lies not on the participle of πορεύομαι but on the following

    imperative. See KMP, 435-436 and n4.

    (10:8)

    ἀσθενοῦντας - present active participle ἀσθενέω = “to suffer a debilitating illness,

    be sick; to experience some person incapacity or limitation, be weak (of weakness

    in general); to experience a lack of material necessities, be in need” under BDAG

    142b.

    ἐγείρω = “to cause someone to wake from sleep, wake, rouse; to cease sleeping,

    wake up, awaken; to cause to stand up from a position lower than that of the

    person rendering assistance, raise, help to rise; to move to a standing position,

    rise, get up; to cause to come into existence, raise up, bring into being; to cause

    frankincense and myrrh); objects made of gold or adorned with gold; gold

    Grammatical note = Genitive Case. Separation. The genitive of separation

    indicates motion away from or distance whether literally or figuratively. It is called

  • 10

    the genitive of disassociation in older grammars, and an English translation of a

    genitive of separation usually is prefixed by the addition of the words “from”,

    “away from”, or “apart from”. The genitive marks the place from which distance or

    separation is being measured. Often this use is found in conjunction with verbs

    containing the prepositional prefix ἀπο. For more examples of the genitive of

    separation, see… Matthew 10:14. See 100 and n52.

    Grammatical note = Genitive Case. Description. The genitive of description

    further limits or defines its head noun in some way that is not better described by

    other common genitival uses. As Wallace rightly notes this is a catch-all category

    because all genitives are in essence descriptive. The remaining adjectival uses of

    the genitive discussed below are more nuanced instances of this broad category.

    Genitive of description then is the last-choice category when none of the more

    specific categories seem to fit.
