{Of like passions with us} (homoiopath(8873) h(886d)in).
Associative-instrumental case h(886d)in as with homoios. This old
compound adjective (homoios, pasch(935c)), suffering the like with
another, in N.T. only here and Ac 14:15 . {He prayed fervently}
(proseuch(8869) pros(8875)xato). First aorist middle indicative of
proseuchomai and the instrumental case proseuch(8869) (cognate
substantive), after idiom for intensity in classical Greek, like
pheugein phug(8869), to flee with all speed (_figura etymologica_),
but particularly frequent in the LXX ( Ge 2:17 31:30 ) in
imitation of the Hebrew infinitive absolute. So Lu 22:15 Joh
3:29 Ac 4:17 . {That it might not rain} ( ou m(8820)brexai).
Genitive of the articular infinitive (rexai, first aorist
active of rech(935c), old verb, to moisten, Lu 7:38 , to rain, Mt
5:45 ) with negative m(885c) used either for direct purpose, for an
object clause as here and Ac 3:12 15:20 , or even for result.
{For three years and six months} (eniautous treis kai m(886e)as
hex). Accusative of extent of time.
