Matthew 25:35

ἐπείνασα γὰρ καὶ ἐδώκατέ μοι φαγεῖν, ἐδίψησα καὶ ἐποτίσατέ με, ξένος ἤμην καὶ συνηγάγετέ με

For I was hungry and you gave me (something) to eat, and I was thirsty and you gave me (something) to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.


 * Here are a nice illustration of how certain verbs in Greek verb, very different from English but really quite similar to how some European languages work. In English, hunger and thirst are often adjectives and we have to use linking verbs like I was, I feel.... In Greek, hunger and thirst are straightforward verbs. So here is the aorist indicative 1P sg. "ἐπείνασα" (I hungered, I felt hungry, I was hungry) and "ἐδίψησα" (I thirsted, I was thirsty).
 * "ξένος" is an adjective, “I was" is implied.
 * ἐδώκατέ - aorist 2P pl, you all gave
 * φαγεῖν - infinitive (to eat). Gave ... to eat.
 * ἐποτίσατέ - aorist 2P pl, you all gave to drink
 * English needs a lot more words to carry the meanings across. I suppose in cultures where hospitality is important, the language is more economical.
 * συνηγάγετέ - from "συνάγω" (I gather). So you all gathered me in. Cognate, synagogue.
