found the place where it was written. The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me."
20. " And he closed {-n-Tv^ag) the book."
* avaTTTvaGEiv and ^Trruacreiv are both peculiar to St. Luke,
and were familiar words with him through his medical
training ;
avawTixraeiv was used of the opening out of various
parts of the body, and itTvaativ of the rolling up of bandages.
Elsewhere in the N. T., avoiyuv is the word for
opening a book or scroll, and kX'KJGHv for rolling it up again
(Rev. V. 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and Eev. vi. 14). avanTvaaeiv is sometimes
used for opening a book, e. g. Herodotus, i. 48, and
LXX. 4 K. xix. 14, but there seems to be no other instance of
TTTvaaav being used of rolling up a scroll except this passage
in St. Luke, ypafiixaTelov lirTuyfdvov (Herodian. i. 17) being
merely a tablet
doubled up—closed.
