Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek neotetos mou {ἐκ νεότητος μου | ek ne-ó-tē-tos mou} introduces a genitive object of the preposition, indicating the starting point “from youth,” with the genitive mou personalizing the claim (“from my youth”). In English, the word order is adjusted to standard subject–verb–object sequence while preserving the emphatic “all these” and the temporal span “from my youth / since I was young.”
Root and etymology
ἐκδικέω
“to avenge, grant justice”
In context — Luke 18:21
