Verse 35 has 5 phrases containing 19 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 2 words, ... grēgoreite oun (You-all be on watch therefore, ...). The 2 dialog words are top down into the equilateral triangle tangent all four of the first four disciples who are watching. The author uses the verb gregoreuo, meaning to watch, as a way to look at periods of time, first for indefinite periods in the future, then for the widely recognized four Roman "watches of the night." 13:34d < Verses > 13:35b |
