Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - And for then, A.V.; I also could wish to hear for I would also hear, A.V.; saith for said, A.V. I also could wish (ἐβουλόμην); but the A.V. "I would" quite sufficiently expresses the imperfect tense (ich wollte) and the indirect wish intended. Meyer well compares ηὐχόμην (Romans 9:3) and ἤθελον (Galatians 4:20).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) I would also hear the man myself.--Better, I also was myself wishing; the phrase implying that the wish was not now formed for the first time.
