‏ Luke 19:11

 He added and spake ( προσθεις ειπεν ). Second aorist active participle of  προστιθημ with  ειπεν. It is a Hebrew idiom seen also in Lu 20:1f. he added to send ( προσεθετο πεμψα ) and in Ac 12:3 "he added to seize" ( προσεθετο συλλαβειν ). This undoubted Hebraism occurs in the N.T. in Luke only, probably due to the influence of the LXX on Luke the Greek Christian.

 To appear ( αναφαινεσθα ). Present passive infinitive of an old verb to be made manifest, to be shown up. In the N.T. only here and Ac 21:3.
