{Purse} (allantion). Old word for money-bag, sometimes a
javelin as if from all(935c). Only in Luke in the N.T. ( 10:4 12:33 22:35ff. ). See Lu 9:3 Mr 6:7f. Mt 10:9f. for the
other similar items. {Salute no man on the way} (m(8864)ena kata t(886e)
hodon aspas(8873)the). First aorist (ingressive) middle subjunctive
with m(8864)ena. The peril of such wayside salutations was palaver
and delay. The King's business required haste. Elisha's servant
was not to tarry for salutations or salaams ( 2Ki 4:29 ). These
oriental greetings were tedious, complicated, and often
meddlesome if others were present or engaged in a bargain.
