{When he shall return from the marriage feast} (pote
analus(8869) ek t(936e) gam(936e)). The interrogative conjunction pote and
the deliberative aorist subjunctive retained in the indirect
question. The verb analu(935c), very common Greek verb, but only
twice in the N.T. (here and  Php 1:23 ). The figure is breaking
up a camp or loosening the mooring of a ship, to depart. Perhaps
here the figure is from the standpoint of the wedding feast
(plural as used of a single wedding feast in  Lu 14:8 ),
departing from there. See on 烘t 22:2|. {When he cometh and
knocketh} (elthontos kai krousantos). Genitive absolute of the
aorist active participle without autou and in spite of autoi
(dative) being used after anoix(9373)in (first aorist active
subjunctive of anoig(935c)).
