A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 9:38

"And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:" — Luke 9:38 (ASV)

Master (Διδασκαλε). Teacher as in Mr 9:17.

Lord (κυριε, Matthew 17:15).

To look upon (επιβλεψα). Aorist active infinitive of επιβλεπω (επ, upon, βλεπω, look), common verb, but in the N.T. only here and Jas 2:3 except Lu 1:48 in quotation from LXX. This compound verb is common in medical writers for examining carefully the patient.

Mine only child (μονογενης μο). Only in Luke as already about an only child in 7:12; 8:42.
