Mark 14:72
Called to mind ( ανεμνησθη ). First aorist passive indicative. Mt 26:75 has the uncompounded verb εμνησθη while Lu 22:61 has another compound υπεμνησθη, was reminded.When he thought thereon ( επιβαλων ). Second aorist active participle of επιβαλλω. It is used absolutely here, though there is a reference to το ρημα above, the word of Jesus, and the idiom involves τον νουν so that the meaning is to put the mind upon something. In Lu 15:12 there is another absolute use with a different sense. Moulton (Prolegomena, p. 131) quotes a Ptolemaic papyrus Tb P 50 where επιβαλων probably means "set to," put his mind on.
Wept ( εκλαιεν ). Inchoative imperfect, began to weep. Mt 26:75 has the ingressive aorist εκλαυσεν, burst into tears.
