Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
And will not rather say (all ouk erei).
But will not say? Ouk in a question expects the affirmative answer.
Gird thyself (perizwsamenov). Direct middle first aorist participle of perizwnnumi, to gird around.
Till I have eaten and drunken (ewv fagw kai piw). More exactly, till I eat and drink. The second aorist subjunctives are not future perfects in any sense, simply punctiliar action, effective aorist.
Thou shalt eat and drink (fagesai kai piesai). Future middle indicative second person singular, the uncontracted forms -esai as often in the Koin‚. These futures are from the aorist stems efagon and epion without sigma.
