Take (ἆρον)
Lit., as Rev., take up, as if the money had been laid down for him on a table or counter.
I will give (θέλω δοῦναι)
But, as in other cases in the A. V., this may be mistaken for the simple future of the verb; whereas there are two verbs. Therefore, Rev., rightly, It is my will to give. See on Mat 15:32. |

32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
