SCRIPTURE

"And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another?" — Luke 7:19 (ASV)

Calling unto him (προσκαλεσαμενος). First aorist middle (indirect) participle.

Two (δυο τινας). Certain two. Not in Mt 11:2.

Saying (λεγων). John saying by the two messengers. The message is given precisely alike in Mt 11:3, which see. In both we have ετερον for "another," either a second or a different kind. In verse 20 Westcott and Hort read αλλον in the text, ετερον in the margin. Προσδοκωμεν, may be present indicative or present subjunctive (deliberative), the same contract form (αο= ω, αω ω).
