|txtha=(from [[Homer]] [[down]]); to be [[first]].<br /><b class="num">1.</b> to be the [[first]] to do ([[anything]]), to [[begin]] — a [[sense]] [[not]] [[found]] in the Greek Bible.<br /><b class="num">2.</b> to be [[chief]], [[leader]], [[ruler]]: τίνος (Buttmann, 169 (147)), [[ἄρχων]]. Middle, [[present]] [[ἄρχομαι]]; [[future]] ἄρξομαι ([[once]] ([[twice]]), Tr marginal [[reading]] WH marginal [[reading]]; ἠρξάμην; to [[begin]], [[make]] a [[beginning]]: [[ἀπό]] τίνος, Buttmann, 79 (69); cf. Matth. § 558); ἀρξάμενος [[ἀπό]] τίνος [[ἕως]] τίνος for, having begun from [[some]] [[person]] or [[thing]] (and continued or continuing) to [[some]] [[person]] or [[thing]]: ); Winer s Grammar, § 66, the [[passage]] cited; (Buttmann, 374 (320)); ἀρξάμενον is used impersonally and [[absolutely]], a [[beginning]] [[being]] made, [[Herodotus]] 3,91; cf. Winer s Grammar, 624 (580); (Buttmann, 374 f (321))); [[carelessly]], ἀρξάμενος [[ἀπό]] Μωϋσέως καί [[ἀπό]] πάντων προφητῶν διηρμήνευεν for, [[beginning]] from Moses be went [[through]] [[all]] the prophets, Winer s Grammar, § 67,2; (Buttmann, 374 (320f)). ὧν ἤρξατο ποιεῖν τέ καί διδάσκειν, [[ἄχρι]] ἧς ἡμέρας [[which]] he began and contnued [[both]] to do and to [[teach]], [[until]] etc., Winer s Grammar, § 66,1c.; Buttmann, as [[above]]). [[ἄρχομαι]] is [[connected]] [[with]] an infinitive and [[that]] so [[often]], [[especially]] in the historical books, [[that]] [[formerly]] [[most]] interpreters [[thought]] it constituted a periphrasis for the [[finite]] [[form]] of the [[verb]] [[standing]] in the infinitive, as ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν for ἐκήρυξε. But [[through]] the [[influence]] [[principally]] of Fritzsche (on Matthew , p. 539f), cf. Winer s Grammar, § 65 7d., it is [[now]] conceded [[that]] the [[theory]] of a periphrasis of [[this]] [[kind]] [[was]] a [[rash]] [[assumption]], and [[that]] [[there]] is [[scarcely]] an [[example]] [[which]] cannot be reduced to [[one]] of the [[following]] classes:<br /><b class="num">a.</b> the [[idea]] of [[beginning]] has [[more]] or [[less]] [[weight]] or [[importance]], so [[that]] it is brought [[out]] by a [[separate]] [[word]]: John , [[which]] he did [[not]] do [[while]] [[they]] were [[present]]); [[beginning]] of [[want]] followed [[hard]] [[upon]] the [[squandering]] of his [[goods]]); ἐκτελέσαι); ἄρχειν denotes [[something]] as begun by [[someone]], others [[following]]: Winer s Grammar, § 65,7d.).<br /><b class="num">c.</b> ἄρχειν indicates [[that]] a [[thing]] [[was]] [[but]] [[just]] begun [[when]] it [[was]] interrupted by [[something]] [[else]]: [[ἄρχω]] occurs in a [[sentence]] [[which]] has [[grown]] [[out]] of the blending of [[two]] statements: [[ἀπό]] [[τότε]] ἐκήρυξε ... ἔδειξέ, and [[τότε]] ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν ... δεικνύειν). The infinitive is [[lacking]] [[when]] [[discoverable]] from the context: ἀρχόμενος, [[namely]], to [[discharge]] the Messianic [[office]], Winer's Grammar, 349 (328)); ἀρξάμενος [[namely]], λέγειν, [[ἐνάρχω]] ([[ἐνάρχομαι]]), [[προενάρχομαι]], [[ὑπάρχω]], [[προϋπάρχω]]. | |||
