(imperfect ἀπειχον Mt 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 Phm 4:18) ἀπό denotes correspondence, i. e. of the contents to the capacity, of the possession to the desire, etc.)): τινα, Phm 1:15; μισθόν, Mt 6:2, Mt 6:5, Mt 6:16; παράκλησιν, Lk 6:24; πάντα, Phm 4:18; (often so in Greek writings (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)).

3. Middle to hold oneself off, abstain: ἀπό τίνος, from anything, Acts 15:20 (R G); 1 Thess 4:3; 1 Thess 5:22 (Job 1:1; Job 2:3; Ezek 8:6); τίνος, Acts 15:29; 1 Tim 4:3; 1 Pet 2:11. (So in Greek writings from Homer down.)
