G2967 — κωλύω
imperfect 1 person plural ἐκωλύομεν ([Mar 9:38] T Tr text WH); 1 aorist ἐκώλυσα; passive, present κωλύομαι; 1 aorist ἐκωλύθην; (from κόλος, lopped, clipped; properly, to cut off, cut short, hence) to hinder, prevent, forbid; (from Pindar down); the Sept. for כָּלָא, twice (viz. [1Sa 25:26]; [2Sa 13:13]) for מָנַע: τινα followed by an infinitive (Winer's Grammar, § 65, 2 β.; cf. Buttmann, § 148,13), [Mat 19:14]; [Luk 23:2]; [Act 16:6]; [Act 24:23]; [1Th 2:16]; [Heb 7:23]; τί κωλύει με βαπτισθῆναι; what doth binder me from being (to be) baptized? [Act 8:36]; the infinitive is omitted, as being evident from what has gone before, [Mar 9:38]; [Mar 10:14]; [Luk 9:49]; [Luk 11:52]; [Luk 18:16]; [Act 11:17]; [Rom 1:13]; [3Jo 1:10]; αὐτόν is lacking, because it has preceded, [Luk 9:50]; the accusative is lacking, because easily supplied from the context, [1Ti 4:3]; as often in Greek writings, construction with τινα τίνος, to keep one from a thing, [Act 27:43]; with the accusative of the thing, τήν παραφρονίαν, to restrain, check, [2Pe 2:16]; τό λαλεῖν γλωσαις, [1Co 14:39]; τί, followed by τοῦ μή, can anyone hinder the water (which offers itself), that these should not be baptized? [Act 10:47]; in imitation of the Hebrew כָּלָא followed by מִן of the person and the § of the thing, to withhold a thing from anyone, i. e. to deny or refuse one a thing: [Luk 6:29] (Buttmann, § 132, 5) (τό μνημεῖον ἀπό σου, [Gen 23:6]). (Compare: διακωλύω.)
