LUK 24:20

1 LUK 24:20 It is also possible to interpret this clause in LUK 24:20 as representing the content of a verb of speaking. 2 ἵνα[a] and ὅπως[b] seem to have similar meanings and in some contexts appear to be substituted one for the other for stylistic purposes. It is, of course, possible that even in the meaning of purpose ὅπως[b] suggests something of the manner or way in which the purpose is to be realized, but it is impossible on the basis of existing contexts to make a clear distinction between ἵνα[a] and ὅπως[b] when they serve as markers of purpose.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ὅπως, (fr. πῶς and the relat. ὁ), with the indicative, a relat. adverb but, like the Lat. ut, assuminz also the nature of a conjunction [οἵ. W. 449 (418 sq.) ]. aE As an Adverb; as, in what manner, how; once so in the N. T. in an indir. question, with the indie.: οὐκ ἔγνως, ὅπως κτλ. Lk. xxiv. 20, where cf. Bornemann, Scholia ete. Ir. A Conjunction, Lat. ut, answering to the Germ. dass, that; in class. Grk. with the optat., and subjunc., and fut. indic.; ef. esp. Klotz ad Devar. ii. 2 p. 681 sqq. But the distinction observed between these constructions by the more elegant Grk. writ. is quite neglected in the N. T., and if we except Mt. xxvi. 59 L TTr (ὅπως θανατώσουσιν), [1 Co. i. 29 Ree.*!7], only the subjunctive follows this particle (for in Mk. v. 23, for ὅπως . . . ζήσεται, L txt. T Tr WH have correctly restored iva... ζήσῃ); cf. W. 289 (271); B. 233 (201) sq.; [214 (185) ]. 1. It denotes the purpose or end, in order that; with the design or to the end that; that; a. without av,—after the present, Mt. vi. 2,16; Philem. 6; Heb. ix. 15; after ἐστέ to be supplied, 1 Pet. ii. 9; after the perfect, Acts ix. 17; Heb. ii. 9; ὅπως μή, Lk. xvi. 26; after the imperfect, Mt. xxvi. 59 [RG (see above)]; Acts ix. 24; after the aorist, Acts ix. 2, 12; xxv. 26; Ro. ix. 17; Gal. i. 4; ὅπως μή, Acts xx. 16; 1 Co. i. 29; after the pluperfect, Jn. xi. 57; after the future, Mt. xxiii. 35; and Rec. in Acts xxiv. 26; after an aor. subjune. by which something is asked for, Mk. ν. 23 Ree. ; after imperatives, Mt. ii. 8; v. 16,45; vi. 4; Acts Xxili. 15, 23; 2 Co. viii. 11; ὅπως μή, Mt. vi. 18; after clauses with ἵνα and the aor. subjunc., Lk. xvi. 28; 2 Co. viii. 14; 2 ΤῊ. 1.12. Noteworthy is the phrase ὅπως πληρωθῇ, i. 6. that ace. to God’s purpose it might be brought to pass or might be proved by the event, of O. T. prophecies and types (see ἵνα, II. 3 fin.): Mt. 11. 23; viii. 17; xii. 17 (where L T Tr WH iva); xiii. 35. b. ὅπως ἄν, that, if it be possible, Mt. vi.5 RG; that, if what I have just said shall come to pass, Lk. ii. 35; Acts iii. 20 (19) [R. V. that so]; xv. 17; Ro. iii. 4 [B. 234 (201)]; exx. fr. the Sept. are given in W. § 42, 6. 2. As in the Grk. writ. also (ef. W. 338 (317); [B. § 139, 41]), ὅπως with the subjunctive is used after verbs of praying, entreating, asking, exhorting, to denote what one wishes to be done: Mt. viii. 34 [here L wa]; ix. 38; Lk. vii. 3; x. 2; xi. 37; Acts viii. 15, 24; ix. 2; xxiii. 20; xxv. 3; Jas. v.16; after a verb of deliber ating: Mt. xii. 14; xxii. 15; Mk. iii. 6, (fr. which exx: it is easy to see how tne use noted in II. arises from the original adverbial force of the particle; for συμβούλ. ἔλαβον, dros ἀπολέσωσιν αὐτόν, they took counsel to destroy him is equiv. to how they might destroy him, and also to to this end that they might destroy him; cf. Kiihner § 552 Anm. 3, ii. p. 892).

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ὅπως. (1) An interesting use of ὅπως, in which it is virtually a conjunction = ‘‘in which case,”’ is seen in such passages as P Tebt II. 414°? (ii/a.D.) ἡ Anvé(= ὶ)ς Tod ᾿Αγαθανγέλου ἐστίν, ὅπως τοῖς παιδίοζιδς δοθῇ, ‘‘the trough belongs to Agathangelus, so let it be given to the children ’’ (Edd.). See further Pro/eg. p. 177 nt. (2) For ὅπως, like πῶς, used in the sense of ὡς, ὅτι (cf. Blass Gr. p. 230f.), we may recall the letter of the prodigal BGU III. 846*® (ii/a.p.) (= Selections, p. 95) οὐκ οἶδες, ὅτι θέλω πηρὸς γενέσται, εἰ γνοῦναι, ὅπως ἀνθρόπῳ [ἔ]τ[ι] ὀφείλω ὀβολόν ; “do you not know that I would rather be a cripple than be conscious that I am still owing anyone an obolus?’’ Deissmann (LAE, p. 179 n.*8) finds a beginning of this usage in Lk 247°, the only place in the NT where ὅπως is construed with the ind. (but cf. Mt 2655. A). A good ex. of ὅπως c. ind. from the papyri is BGU III. 8304 (i/a.p.) δίιεπεμψάμην olor τὸ]ν ἐμὸν ἄνθρωπον, ὅπίως)] καλῶς ποιήσι(--ει)ς, συμβαλὼν χάρακα] περὶ τοῦ ἐ[λαιῶν]7ος ἠ(Ξε )δίου αὐτοῦ τοῦ ἐνθάδε. (3) “Ὅπως, ‘‘in order that,” is seen c, subj. with ἄν in PSI V. 5128 (B.c. 253-2) ἐγὼ δὲ πρὸς Tots μελισσοργοὺς ἐπορεύθην ὅπως ἂν εἰδήσω ws πωλῖται, ‘I went to the bee-keepers that I might know how it is sold,’’ and without ἄν in such passages as P Par 4615 (B.C. 153) yéypada σοι ὅπω[ς] ᾿Απολλωνίῳ παραγγείλῃς, P Ryl 11. 13019 (A.p. 34) διὸ ἀξιῶν γράψαι τῶι τῆς κώιμης ἀρχεφόδῳ ὅπως ἀναζήτησιν ποιήσηται, and P Tebt II. 419% (iii/A.D.) πέμψον τὴν ὄνον ὅπως σφραγισθῇ. On the relative use of ὅπως and ὅπως ἄν in the Attic inscrr. see Meisterhans Gr ὃ 91. 30. (4) For ὅπως after ἐρωτάω and similar verbs of asking, exhorting, etc. (as in Lk 11°? al.) cf. P Tebt 11. go94® (A.D. 5) ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεώς σε ἠρώτησα δούς σοι (δραχμὰς) ιβ ὅπως Λυσιμάχῳ Sois καὶ ἐρωτήσῃς αὐτὸν οἱ(-- ὑ)πὲρ ἐμοῦ ὅπως y τελήους μοίκλεας (Δ μύκλους) συντόμως πέμψηι, ““αἱ the metropolis I gave you 12 drachmae and asked you to give them to Lysimachus and ask him on my behalf to send me at once 3 he-asses without blemish” (Edd.), P Amh 11. 131® (early ii/A.b.) μελησάτω σοι ὅπως ἀγορασθῇ τὰ κενώματα, ‘see that the empty jars are bought’’ (Edd.), and P Oxy I. 6γ" (a.pD. 338) ἐπιδίδωμί σοι ὅπως εἰς ἔργον προαγάγοις τὰ κεκελευσμένα, “1 petition you to carry his orders into εῆξοι." An apparent ex. of ὅπως c. inf., where we would have expected ὥστε, is to be found in P Tebt II. 31539 (ii/a.p.) ἔχι yap συστατικὰς [ὅπως τὸν ἀπιθοῦντα μετὰ φρουρᾶς τῷ ἀρχιερῖ πέμπιν, ‘‘ he has instructions to send recalcitrants under guard to the high-priest’’ (Edd.). MGr ὅπως κι ἄν, “however.
