‏ Luke 11:21

 Fully armed ( καθωπλισμενος ). Perfect passive participle of  καθοπλιζω, an old verb, but here only in the N.T. Note perfective use of  κατα in composition with  οπλιζω, to arm (from  οπλα, arms). Note indefinite temporal clause ( οταν and present subjunctive  φυλασση ).

 His own court ( την εαυτου αυλην ). His own homestead. Mr 3:27; Mt 12:29 has "house" ( οικιαν ).  Αυλη is used in the N.T. in various senses (the court in front of the house, the court around which the house is built, then the house as a whole).

 His goods ( τα υπαρχοντα αυτου ). "His belongings." Neuter plural present active participle of  υπαρχω used as substantive with genitive.
