A.T. Robertson Commentary
"And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;" — Luke 11:5 (ASV)
At midnight (μεσονυκτιου). Genitive of time.
And say to him (κα ειπη αυτω). This is the deliberative subjunctive, but it is preceded by two future indicatives that are deliberative also (εξει, πορευσετα).
Lend me (χρησον μο). First aorist active imperative second singular. Lend me
now . From κιχρημ, an old verb, to lend as a matter of friendly interest as opposed to δανειζω, to lend on interest as a business. Only here in the N.T.
