‏ Luke 14:10

 Sit down ( αναπεσε ). Second aorist active imperative of  αναπιπτω, to fall up or back, to lie back or down. Late Greek word for  ανακλινω (cf.  κατακλινω in verse 8).

 He that hath bidden thee ( ο κεκληκως σε ). Perfect active participle as in verse 12 ( τω κεκληκοτ ) with which compare  ο καλεσας in verse 9 (first aorist active participle).

 He may say ( ερε ). The future indicative with  ινα does occur in the Koine (papyri) and so in the N.T. (Robertson, Grammar, p. 984).

 Go up higher ( προσαναβηθ ). Second aorist active imperative second singular of  προσαναβαινω, an old double compound verb, but here only in the N.T. Probably, "Come up higher," because the call comes from the host and because of  προς.
