Vincent's NT Word Studies
18. Make excuse (paraiteisqai). Also rendered in New Testament refuse, Heb. xii. 19, 25, where both meanings occur. See also 2 Timothy ii. 23, Rev. Our phrase, beg off, expresses the idea here.I must needs (ecw anagkhn). Lit., I have necessity: a strong expression. Go (exelqein). Go out (ex) from the city.

14:18 {With one consent} (apo mias). Some feminine substantive like gnwmes or yuces has to be supplied. this precise idiom occurs nowhere else. It looked like a conspiracy for each one in his turn did the same thing. {To make excuse} (paraiteisqai). this common Greek verb is used in various ways, to ask something from one (#Mr 15:6), to deprecate or ask to avert (#Heb 12:19), to refuse or decline (#Ac 25:11), to shun or to avoid (#2Ti 2:23), to beg pardon or to make excuses for not doing or to beg (#Lu 14:18ff.). All these ideas are variations of aitew, to ask in the middle voice with para in composition. {The first} (ho prwtos). In order of time. There are three of the "many" ("all"), whose excuses are given, each more flimsy than the other. {I must needs} (ecw anagken). I have necessity. The land would still be there, a strange "necessity." {Have me excused} (ece me pareitemenon). An unusual idiom somewhat like the English perfect with the auxiliary "have" and the modern Greek idiom with ecw, but certainly not here a Greek periphrasis for pareiteso. this perfect passive participle is predicate and agrees with me. See a like idiom in #Mr 3:1; Lu 12:19 (Robertson, _Grammar_, pp. 902f.). The Latin had a similar idiom, _habe me excusatum_. Same language in verse #19.
