G1510–εἰμί–eimi

They are like children sitting in the public square and calling out to one another, `We have played the flute to you, and you have not danced: we have sung dirges, and you have not shown sorrow.'

εἰσιν eisin “are they”

And there was a woman in the town who was a notorious sinner. Having learnt that Jesus was at table in the Pharisee's house she brought a flask of perfume,

ἦν ēn “was”

Noticing this, the Pharisee, His host, said to himself, "This man, if he were really a Prophet, would know who and what sort of person this woman is who is touching him--and would know that she is an immoral woman."

ἦν ēn “He was”ἐστιν. estin “she is.”

"There were once two men in debt to one money-lender," said Jesus; "one owed him five hundred shillings and the other fifty.

ἦσαν ēsan “there were”

Then the other guests began to say to themselves, "Who can this man be who even forgives sins?"

ἐστιν estin “is”

and certain women whom He had delivered from evil spirits and various diseases--Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had come,

ἦσαν ēsan “were”

The disciples proceeded to ask Him what this parable meant.

εἴη eiē “would mean”

The meaning of the parable is as follows. The seed is God's Message.

ἔστιν estin “Is”ἐστὶν estin “is”

Those by the way-side are those who have heard, and then the Devil comes and carries away the Message from their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

εἰσιν eisin “are”

That which fell among the thorns means those who have heard, but as they go on their way, the Message is stifled by the anxieties, wealth and gaieties of time, and they yield nothing in perfection.

εἰσιν eisin “are”

But as for that in the good ground, it means those who, having listened to the Message with open minds and in a right spirit, hold it fast, and patiently yield a return.

εἰσιν eisin “are”

There is nothing hidden, which shall not be openly seen; nor anything secret, which shall not be known and come into the light of day.

ἐστιν estin “is”

"My mother and my brothers," He replied, "are these who hear God's Message and obey it."

εἰσιν eisin “are”

"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."

ἐστιν estin “is”ἐστιν estin “is”

Then they put in to shore in the country of the Gerasenes, which lies opposite to Galilee.

ἐστὶν estin “is”

"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;

ἐστιν; estin “is”

Now there was a great herd of swine there feeding on the hill-side; and the demons begged Him to give them leave to go into them, and He gave them leave.

ἦν ēn “There was”

Now when Jesus was returning, the people gave Him a warm welcome; for they had all been looking out for Him.

ἦσαν ēsan “they were”

for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, and she was dying. And as He went, the dense throng crowded on Him.

ἦν ēn “was”

And a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage--and had spent on doctors all she had, but none of them had been able to cure her--

οὖσα ousa “being”

And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.

ἐστιν estin “is”

Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."

ἐσμέν. esmen “we are.”

"You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."

εἰσὶν eisin “there are”

(For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."

ἦσαν ēsan “They were”

I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
