{Besought} (parekaloun). Imperfect active, began and kept
on beseeching. This is the same verb used by Matthew in  Mt 8:5 
of the centurion himself. {Earnestly} (spoudai(9373)). From
spoud(885c) haste. So eagerly, earnestly, zealously, for time was
short. {That thou shouldst do this for him} (h(9369) parex(8869)
touto). Second future middle singular of parech(935c). Old and
common verb, furnish on thy part. H(9369) is relative in dative
case almost with notion of contemplated result (Robertson,
_Grammar_, p. 961).
