The New Testament Greek Lexicon

 Strong's Number:  5636Tense, Voice and Mood
Word Tense
 Second Aorist

The "second aorist" tense is identical in meaning and translation to the normal or "first" aorist tense. The only difference is in the form of spelling the words in Greek, and there is no effect upon English translation.

See 5777

Word Voice
 Middle Deponent

The middle deponent forms in almost all cases are translated as being in the active voice.

See 5784

Word Mood
 Optative

The optative mood is generally used in the so-called "fourth-class" conditions which express a wish or desire for an action to occur in which the completion of such is doubtful. By the time of the New Testament, the optative mood was beginning to disappear from spoken and written Greek, and such rarely occurs in the New Testament.

In a few cases, verbs in the optative mood stand apart from a conditional clause to express the strongest possible wish regarding an event. The most common of these appears in the phrase "mh genoito" (AV,"God forbid"; NKJV "Certainly not").
