The prefix means "upon." -- (WW) "Lust" is a Greek verb that means "to set one's heart upon", "to desire", "to covet," and "too long for." The verb indicates heat and passion, but not sexual passion (see this article about the Greek root of this word meaning "chest") Jesus uses this word five times, always in reference to hunger and thirst except for here.

The verb means "to lay a value upon", "to show honour to", to "raise in price", of judges, "to lay a penalty on a person" and to "censure". Note that this word primarily means explaining the cost of something or the penalty for doing something. This word is frequently used in the NT to describe Jesus "rebuking" his followers, the weather, or a "demon" or "charging" someone to do or not to do something. We get the sense that it means "criticize" or "condemn" or "command" when it really doesn't. This idea is closer to the version in Matthew, which involves questioning him. |

| epitithemi | ἐπιτιθέασιν [4 verses]] (verb 3rd pl pres ind act) "Lay" is epitithemi, which means "to lay," "to put," "to place upon," "to set upon," "to put on," and "to dispatch." - The verb means "lay upon" is from an uncommon Greek word for Jesus that means "to lay", "to put", "to impose," and "to place upon."

The Greek root of this word is translated as "seek" in the KJV but Christ uses it more like we use "aim." This version of that word has the prefix that means "on," "at," or "upon," so "aim at" or "focus on" is the closest in English. This version of the word is usually used only negatively by Jesus. |

It means both "to go" on a journey and "to arrive" at a place. -- The word translated as "come" primarily means "to start out" but Jesus usually uses it to mean "come" but not always.

Technically, it is in the middle voice meaning the subject acts on himself. In English, this is assumed in our words "come" and "go." Our English word "show up" captures both the "start" and "come" ideas. See this article for more. |
198 | |
| ereita | ἔπειτα [1 verse](adv) "Then" is ereita, which means "thereupon", "thereafter", afterwards" and "then." -- The "then" here is unique, not the Greek word that is translated as "then" in most of Jesus's words.

It means "work," "do," or "make," but it is not the common word Christ uses frequently, but a more sophisticated word he uses less commonly. He uses it to mean "make a living for yourself." The form is where the subject acts on himself, so "work yourself." |

This is an uncommon verb for Christ to use to refer to simply saying or speaking, used primarily in the "commandment updates" of this section. There are three other verbs that are commonly used to mean "to say," "to speak," and "to tell." This verb is a more serious meaning, "to proclaim" or "to pronounce," and a lighter meaning "to be mentioned" and "to be pronounce." However, Jesus often uses more unusual words for humorous effect, which seems to the case here. |
