Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(48) All the people were very attentive to hear him.--Literally, hung upon him as they heard. The Greek phrase is another of the words characteristic of St. Luke. Its force may be gathered by its use in the Greek version of Genesis 44:30, where it stands for "his life is bound up in" (or, hangs upon) "the lad's life."Parallel Commentaries ...GreekYetκαὶ (kai)ConjunctionStrong's 2532: And, even, also, namely. they could not findεὕρισκον (heuriskon)Verb - Imperfect Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 2147: A prolonged form of a primary heuro, which heureo is used for it in all the tenses except the present and imperfect to find.a wayτί (ti)Interrogative / Indefinite Pronoun - Accusative Neuter SingularStrong's 5101: Who, which, what, why.
