Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) They all with one consent . . .--The Greek phrase, as the italics show, is elliptical; but the English idiom expresses its meaning whether we take the omitted noun to be "voice," or "consent" or "mind."To make excuse.--To beg off would, perhaps, be too colloquial, but it exactly expresses the force of the Greek verb.I have bought a piece of ground.--The Greek noun implies a little more than the English--better, perhaps, a farm (see Notes on Mark 6:36); and the tense in each case is strictly one in which a man naturally speaks of the immediate past--"I bought but now."Parallel Commentaries ...GreekButΚαὶ (Kai)ConjunctionStrong's 2532: And, even, also, namely. one after another,μιᾶς (mias)Adjective - Genitive Feminine SingularStrong's 1520: One.
