Lemma › Greek New Testament › Luke 15
Luke 15 in Greek, word by word
The Greek text of Luke 15, verse by verse, with every word under it: the form as printed, the headword it comes from, what the headword means, and how the form is parsed. 32 verses, 564 words.
The meaning shown is a short gloss for the headword, not for this particular form, so read it as a pointer to the dictionary entry rather than as a translation of the word in its sentence. Most glosses come from Dodson's lexicon; a few are Lemma's own, where the lexicon has no entry under the same headword or its first sense would mislead here.
How to read the notation
Each card ends with the part of speech and, for inflected words, the parsing. Finite verb: tense, voice, mood, person and number (aor act ind 3sg). Participle: tense, voice, ptc, case, number, gender. Infinitive: tense, voice, inf. Other inflected words: case, number, gender, then degree where the form has one (comp, super). The pronouns of the first and second person show case and number only.
