Translations: of things being said, of things being spoken, he was searching out, he was investigating, he was examining thoroughly
From the root: ΛΕΓΩ, ΔΙΕΡΕΥΝΑΩ
Part of Speech: Participle, Verb
Explanation: This appears to be a compound of two Koine Greek words: 'ΛΕΓΟΜΕΝΩΝ' (legomenōn) and 'ΔΙΗΡΕΥΝΑ' (diēreuna). 'ΛΕΓΟΜΕΝΩΝ' is the genitive plural masculine/neuter present passive participle of 'ΛΕΓΩ' (legō), meaning 'to say' or 'to speak'. It refers to 'of things being said' or 'of things being spoken'. 'ΔΙΗΡΕΥΝΑ' is the imperfect active indicative third person singular of 'ΔΙΕΡΕΥΝΑΩ' (diereunaō), meaning 'to search out', 'to investigate thoroughly', or 'to examine'. Therefore, the combined meaning would be something like 'he was searching out the things being said' or 'he was investigating the things being spoken'. This construction suggests a continuous action of investigation related to spoken or reported matters.
Inflection: ΛΕΓΟΜΕΝΩΝ: Genitive, Plural, Masculine or Neuter, Present, Passive, Participle. ΔΙΗΡΕΥΝΑ: Third Person, Singular, Imperfect, Active, Indicative.
