Grk., cf. Weiske, De pleonasmis gr. p. 47; Matthiae § 545; Delitzsch on Hebrews as below; [Kühner § 585, 3; Krüger § 55, 1, 2; Goodwin § 100; W. 449 (419); 317 (298)], Hebrews 7:9, (opp. to ἀκριβεῖ λόγῳ, Plat. rep. 1, 341 b.); τὴν ἀλήθειαν, Mark 5:33; ἀλήθειαν ἐρῶ, 2 Corinthians 12:6; τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας, John 4:18 [W. 464 (433) n.]; τί εἴπω; what shall I say?

Romans 3:5; 6:1; 7:7; 9:14,30; with πρὸς ταῦτα added, Romans 8:31; εἰπεῖν τι περί τινος, John 7:39; 10:41. Sayings fromthe Old Testament which are quoted in the New Testament are usually introduced as follows: τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ τοὑ [L T Tr WH om. τοῦ] κυρίου διὰ τοῦ προφήτου Matthew 2:17 L T Tr WH, Matthew 2:23; 4:14; 8:17; 12:17; 13:35; 21:4; 27:9; τὸ εἰρημένον διὰ τοῦ προφ. Acts 2:16; τὸ εἰρημένον, Luke 2:24; Acts 13:40; Romans 4:18; ἐρρέθη Matthew 5:21, etc.; καθὼς εἴρηκεν, Hebrews 4:3.

Kühner § 409, 2; 411, 5; [W. § 32, 1 b. β.; B. 146 (128)].
c. with an ellipsis of the acc. αὐτό (see αὐτός, II. 3) Luke 22:67; John 9:27; 16:4, etc. σὺεἶπας (sc. αὐτό), i. e. you have just expressed it in words; that's it; it is just as you say: Matthew 26:25,64; [a rabbinical formula; for exx. cf. Schoettgen or Wetstein on verse Matthew 26:25; al. seem to regard the answer as non-committal, e. g. Origen on verse Matthew 26:64 (opp. iii. 910 De la Rue); Wünsche, Erläut. der Evang. aus Talmud usw. on verse Matthew 26:25; but cf. the ἐγώ εἰμι of Mark 14:62; in Matthew 26:64 WH mrg. take it interrogatively].
2. the person, to whom a thing is said, is indicated
a. by a dat.: εἰπεῖν τί τινι, Luke 7:40, and very often; εἶπον ὑμῖν sc. αὐτό, I (have just) told it you; this is what I mean; let this be the word: Matthew 28:7; cf. Bnhdy. p. 381; Jelf § 403, 1; Goodwin § 19, 5; esp. (for exx.) Herm. Vig. p. 746]. τινὶ περι τινος [cf. W. § 47, 4], Matthew 17:13; John 18:34. to say anything to one by way of censure, Matthew 21:3; to cast in one's teeth, ἐρεῖτέ μοι τὴν παραβολήν, Luke 4:23 to tell what anything means, e. g. τὸ μυστὴριον, Revelation 17:7.
b. by the use of a prep.: πρός τινα [cf. B. 172 (150); Krüger § 48, 7, 13], to say (a thing) to one, as Luke 4:23, 5:4, 12:16, and many other places in Luke; to say a thing in reference to one [W. 405 (378)], Mark 12:12; Luke 18:9; 20:19.
3. εἶπον, to say, speak, simply and without an acc. of the obj. i. e. merely to declare in words, to use language;
a. with the addition of an adverb or of some other adjunct: ὁμοίως, Matthew 26:35; ὡσαύτως, Matthew 21:30; καθώς, Matthew 28:6; Luke 24:24; John 1:23; 7:38; εἶπε διὰ παραβολῆς, making use of parable [see διὰ, A. III. 3] he spake, Luke 8:4; ἐν παραβολαῖς, Matthew 22:1; with an instrumental dative: εἶπε λόγῳ, say in (using only) a (single) word, sc. that my servant shall be heald, Matthew 8:8 (where Rec. λόγον); Luke 7:7.
b. with the words spoken added in direct discourse; so a hundred times in the historical books of the New Testament, as Matthew 9:4 sq.; Matthew 8:32; [Matthew 15:4 L Tr WH], etc.; 1 Corinthians 12:15; [2 Corinthians 4:6 L text T Tr WH, (cf. 4 below)]; Hebrews 1:5; 3:10; 10:7, [Hebrews 10:15 L T Tr WH], Hebrews 10:30; 12:21; James 2:3, 11; Jude 1:9; Revelation 7:14; πέμψας εἶπεν he said by a messenger or messengers, Matthew 11:2 sq. The following and other phrases are freq. in the Synoptic Gospels: ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, as Matthew 4:4; 15:13; καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Matthew 24:4; ἀποκριθεῖσα ἡ μήτηρ εἶπεν, Luke 1:60; ἀποκριθεὶς ὁ Σίμων εἶπεν, Luke 7:43, etc.; ἀποκριθέντες δὲ εἶπεν [-παν T Tr WH], Luke 20:24; but John usually writes ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν: John 1:48 (John 1:49); John 2:19; 3:10; 4:10,13,17; 6:26,29; 8:16,20 [R G], John 8:52; 9:11 [R G L br.] John 9:30,36 [L Tr mrg. om. WH br. κ. εἶπ.]; John 13:7; 14:23; 18:30; — [εἶπαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες, Mark 8:28 T WH Tr mrg., cf. Mark 12:26].
c. followed by ὅτι: Matthew 28:7; Mark 16:7; John 6:36; 7:42; 8:55; 11:40; 16:15; 18:8; 1 John 1:6,8,10; 1 Corinthians 1:15; 14:23 15:27 [L br. WH mrg. om. ὅτι].
d. followed by acc. and inf.: τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν Ἀβραὰμ τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν εὑρηκέναι [WH txt. om. Tr mrg. br. ευρηκ.; cf. 1 b. above] κατὰ σάρκα; Romans 4:1.
4. εἰπεῖν sometimes involves in it the idea of commanding [ cf. B. 275 sq. (237)]: followed by the inf., εἶπε δοθῆναι αὐτῇ φαγεῖν, Mark 5:43; εἰπὲ τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου μερίσασφαι μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ τὴν κληρονομίαν, Luke 12:13; ὅσα ἄν εἴπωσιν ὑμῖν (sc. τηρεῖν [inserted in R G]), τηρεῖτε, Matthew 23:3 (Sap. ix. 8). followed by the acc. and inf., ὁ εἰπὼν ἐκ σκότους φῶς λάμψαι, 2 Corinthians 4:6 [R G L mrg., cf. B. 273 sq. (235); but L txt. T Tr WH read λάμψει, thus changing the construction from the acc. with infin. to direct discourse, see 3 b. above]; εἶπεν αὐτῷ (for ἑαυτῷ, see αὑτοῦ) φωνηθῆναι τοὺς δούλους τούτους, he commanded to be called for him (i. e. to him) these servants, Luke 19:15; cf. W. § 44, 3 b.; Krüger § 55, 3, 13. followed by ἵνα with the subjunc.: Matthew 4:3; 20:21; Luke 4:3; to εἰπείν is added a dat. of the pers. bidden to do something, Mark 3:9; Luke 10:40; cf. Luke 4:3; Revelation 6:11; 9:4. “Moreover, notice that ἵνα and ὄφρα are often used by the later poets after verbs of commanding;” Hermann ad Vig. p. 849; cf. W. § 44, 8; [B. 237 (204)].
5. By a Hebraism εἰπεῖν ἐν ἑαυτῷ (like בְּלִבּוֹ אָתַר Deuteronomy 8:17; Psalm 10:6 (Psalm 9:27 VUL); Psalm 8:1; (Psalm 14.); Esther 6:6) is equiv. to to think (because thinking is a silent soliloquy): Matthew 9:3; Luke 7:39; 16:3; 18:4 (elsewhere also λέγενι ἐν ἑαυτῷ); and εἰπεῖν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ amounts to the same, Luke 12:45; Romans 10:6; but in other passages εἶπoν, ἔλεγον, ἐν ἑαυτῷ is i. q. ἐν ἀλλήλοις: Matthew 21:38; see λέγω, II. 1 d.
6. εἰπεῖν τινα with a predicate accus. to call, style, one: ἐκείνους εἶπε θεούς, John 10:35; ὑμᾶς εἴρηκα φἰλους John 15:15; (Home. Od. 19, 334; Xen. apol. Sorc. § 15; Lcian. Tim. § 20). [Compare: ἀντ-, ἀπ-, προ- εῖπον.]
