4 Have You Not Read? To read (aónagnw nai). Usually in New Testament of public reading. [Note: In post-classical Greek, sometimes of reading aloud with comments. This may explain the parenthesis in Matthew 24:15.] After the liturgical services which introduced the worship of the synagogue, the minister took a roll of the law from the ark, removed its case and wrappings, and then called upon some one to read. On the Sabbaths, at least seven persons were called on successively to read portions of the law, none of them consisting of less than three verses. After the law followed a section from the prophets, which was succeeded immediately by a discourse. It was this section which Jesus read and expounded. See Acts 13:15; Nehamiah 8:5, 8. For a detailed account of the synagogue-worship, see Edersheim, Life and Times of Jesus, i., 430 sq. (Lk 4:16, Vincent s Word Studies)
