G567 — ἀπέχω
(imperfect ἀπειχον [Mat 14:24] Tr text WH text; present middle ἀπέχομαι);
1. transitive,
a. to hold back, keep off, prevent (Homer, Iliad 1, 97 (Zenodotus); 6, 96; Plato, Crat c. 23, p. 407 b.).
b. to have wholly or in full, to have received (what one had a right to expect or demand; cf. ἀποδιδόναι, ἀπολαμβάνειν (Winers De verb. comp. etc. Part iv., p. 8; Gram. 275 (258); Buttmann, 203 (176); according to Lightfoot (on [Phi 4:18]) ἀπό denotes correspondence, i. e. of the contents to the capacity, of the possession to the desire, etc.)): τινα, [Phi 1:15]; μισθόν, [Mat 6:2], [Mat 6:5], [Mat 6:16]; παράκλησιν, [Luk 6:24]; πάντα, [Phi 4:18]; (often so in Greek writings (cf. Lightfoot on Philippians, the passage cited)). Hence,
c. ἀπέχει, impersonally, it is enough, sufficient: [Mar 14:41], where the explanation is 'ye have slept now long enough'; so that Christ takes away the permission, just given to his disciples, of sleeping longer; cf. Meyer at the passage; (in the same sense in (Pseudo-)Anacreon () in Odar. (15) 28, 33; Cyril Alex. on [Hag 2:9] (but the true reading here seems to be ἀπέχω, see P. E. Pusey's edition Oxon. 1868)).
2. intransitive, to be away, absent, distant (Buttmann, 144 (126)): absolutely, [Luk 15:20]; ἀπό, [Luk 7:6]; [Luk 24:13]; Matt. ( Tr text WH text); ; [Mar 7:6] ([Isa 29:13]).
3. Middle to hold oneself off, abstain: ἀπό τίνος, from anything, [Act 15:20] (R G); [1Th 4:3]; [1Th 5:22] ([Job 1:1]; [Job 2:3]; [Eze 8:6]); τίνος, [Act 15:29]; [1Ti 4:3]; [1Pe 2:11]. (So in Greek writings from Homer down.)
