A.T. Robertson Commentary


A.T. Robertson Commentary
"but he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. And to whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom they commit much, of him will they ask the more." — Luke 12:48 (ASV)
To whomsoever much is given (παντ δε ω εδοθη πολυ). Here is inverse attraction from ο to παντ (Robertson, Grammar, pp. 767f.). Note παρ' αυτου (from him) without any regard to παντ.
They commit (παρεθεντο). Second aorist middle indicative, timeless or gnomic aorist. Note the impersonal plural after the passive voice just before.
