Luke 14:10

Sit down (anapese). Second aorist active imperative of anapiptw, to fall up or back, to lie back or down. Late Greek word for anaklinw (cf. kataklinw in verse Luke 14:8).

He that hath bidden thee (o keklhkwv se). Perfect active participle as in verse Luke 14:12 (tw keklhkoti) with which compare o kalesav in verse Luke 14:9 (first aorist active participle).

He may say (erei). The future indicative with ina does occur in the Koin‚ (papyri) and so in the N.T. (Robertson, Grammar, p. 984).

Go up higher (prosanabhqi). Second aorist active imperative second singular of prosanabainw, an old double compound verb, but here only in the N.T. Probably, "Come up higher," because the call comes from the host and because of prov.
