‏ Mark 9:20

 Tare him grievously ( συνεσπαραξεν αυτον ). Lu 9:42 has both  ερρηξεν (dashed down, like Mr 9:18,  ρησσε ) and  συνεσπαραξεν (convulsed). This compound with  συν- (together with), strengthens the force of the verb as in  συνπνιγω (Mr 4:7) and  συντηρεω (6:20). The only other instance of this compound verb known is in Maximus Tyrius (second century B.C.).

 Wallowed ( εκυλιετο ). Imperfect passive, was rolled. A pitiful sight. Late form of the old  κυλινδω.
