Luke Chapter 19, Verse 48
From BibleWiki
48: και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησωσιν ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
48: And could not find what they might do: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.
48: And they found not what to do to him: for all the people were
very attentive to hear him.
Could not find, &c. Were not able to accomplish their purpose;
they did not know how to bring it about.
Very attentive. Literally, hung upon him to hear him. The word denotes an anxious desire, a fixed attention, a cleaving to him, and an unwillingness to leave him, so that they might hear his words. This is always the case when men become anxious about their salvation. They manifest it by hanging on the preaching of the gospel; by fixed attention; and by an unwillingness to leave the place where the word of God is preached.
- {3} "were very attentive" or, "hanged on him"
