[“Your” is not explicit, but it is added from the context to clarify the English.]
Translate: καὶ κατεδHωξεν αὐτὸν ΣHμων καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εὗρον (they found) αὐτὸν καὶ
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι πάντες ζητοῦσHν σε.
[κατεδHωξεν means "he/she/it sought intently." It describes a searching done in earnest. How does
knowing this help you better understand the passage?
κατά is often used to form a compound verb and carries with it an intensifying force. It is called
the “perfective” use of the preposition. For example, ἐργάζομαι means "I work" while
κατεργάζομαι means "I work out thoroughly, I accomplish." ἐσθHω means "I eat" while κατεσθHω
means "I eat up thoroughly, I devour." Likewise, διώκω means "I search" for while καταδιώκω
means "I search for thoroughly, I seek intently." There is a danger here, though. You cannot
always assume that a compound word carries the meaning of its parts. That is called the “Root
Fallacy.” Sometimes a compound verb has the same meaning as the simple form of the verb. As
always, let context be your guide.]
Response:
And Simon and those who were with him sought him intently, and they found him and are saying
to him, “Everyone is seeking you.”
Unit 12 Workbook Exercise Summary
1. διὰ τH means “why?”
2. εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα is an idiom meaning "forever."
3. Sometimes a preposition is used to form a compound word, and the function of the preposition
is to intensify the force of the simple word. This is the “perfective” use of a preposition. But you
cannot assume the perfective force is always present. You will need to check the meaning of the
word elsewhere and your immediate context.
