Word Studies in the New Testament is unavailable, but you can change that!

Marvin Vincent's Word Studies has been treasured by generations of pastors and laypeople. Commenting on the meaning, derivation, and uses of significant Greek words and idioms, Vincent helps you incorporate the riches of the New Testament in your sermons or personal study without spending hours on tedious language work.

Cometh upon (ἐπίσταται). See L. 21:34, 36. Often in N. T. of a person coming suddenly upon another; as L. 2:9; 24:4; Acts 4:1; 12:7. Travail (ὠδὶν). Birth-throe. Only here in its literal sense. Elsewhere as a strong figure of sorrow or pain. See Matt. 24:8; Mk. 13:8; Acts 2:24. For the figure in O. T. see Isa. 13:6–8; 37:3; Mic. 4:9; Hos. 13:3; Jer. 13:21. Shall not escape (οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν). A. V. misses the force of the double negative. They shall in no wise escape. 4. Overtake (καταλάβῃ).
