{And one of you say unto them} (eip(8869) de tis autois ex
hum(936e)). Third-class condition again continued from verse 15
with second aorist active subjunctive eip(8869). {Go in peace}
(hupagete en eir(886e)(8869)). Present active imperative of hupag(935c).
Common Jewish farewell ( Jud 18:6 1Sa 1:17 20:42 2Sa 15:9 ).
Used by Jesus ( Mr 5:34 Lu 7:50 ). {Be ye warmed and filled}
( hermainesthe kai chortazesthe). Present imperative either
middle (direct) or passive. We have hermainomai as a direct
middle in Joh 18:18 (were warming themselves) and that makes
good sense here: "Warm yourselves." Chortaz(935c) was originally
used for pasturing cattle, but came to be used of men also as
here. "Feed yourselves" (if middle, as is likely). Instead of
warm clothes and satisfying food they get only empty words to
look out for themselves. {And yet ye give not} (m(8820)d(9374)e de).
Third-class condition with de (and yet) and m(885c) and the second
aorist active subjunctive of did(936d)i, to give, cold deeds with
warm words. {The things needful to the body} ( a epit(8864)eia tou
s(936d)atos). "The necessities of the body" (the necessaries of
life). Old adjective from adverb epit(8864)es (enough), only here
in N.T. {What doth it profit?} ( i ophelos;). As in verse 14
and here the conclusion (apodosis) of the long condition begun in
verse 15 .
