83.9 · Spacial Positions · Among, Between, In, Inside

among, with a position within an area determined by other objects and distributed among such objects For another interpretation of ἐντός in LUK 17:21, see discussion at 26.1.

LUK 17:21

83.17 · Spacial Positions · Among, Between, In, Inside

the contents of, that which is inside pertaining to being within an area It is also possible, though not probable, to understand ἐντός in MAT 23:26 as the inside surface itself rather than the contents.

MAT 23:26 · LUK 17:21

¹ There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions in the meanings of the terms in 83.9. For example, πρός[d] may suggest some kind of interaction or response and παρά[b] may focus upon association, but it is difficult, if not impossible, on the basis of existing contexts to define precisely the differences in meaning.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐντός. We have no citation which throws any light on the much disputed meaning of ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in Lk 1731, but it may be noted that the same phrase occurs in a similar connexion in the second of the new sayings of Jesus, P Oxy IV. 65438, ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν] ἐντὸς ὑμῶν [ἐῖστι [kal ὅστις ἂν ἑαυτὸν] γνῷ ταύτην εὑρή[σει..... where the context favours the translation ‘‘ within you’’: for a different restoration of the latter part [kal ὃς ἐὰν τὰ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν] γνῷ, see Deissmann LAE p. 438. The word is used of ¢zve in such passages as P Oxy IV. 724 (A.D. 155) ἐὰν δὲ ἐντὸς τοῦ x[p]dvov αὐτὸν ἀπαρτίσῃς, “if you make him (the pupil) perfect within the period,” in a contract of apprenticeship, and 2%. X. 12788 (A.D. 214) ἐντὸς τοῦ προκειμένου αὐτοῦ χρόνου, and of place in P Ryl II. 1618 (Α.Ὁ. 71) ἐντὸς περιβόλου ἱεροῦ θεοῦ Doxvorratov, 20. 1577 (A.D. 135) ἐντὸς τείχου τοῦ κτήματος, and P Oxy VIII. 112815 (a.p. 173) τὸ “cc ᾿ > , ἐντρέπω συμπόσιον καὶ τὴν ἐντὸς αὐτοῦ κέλλαν, “a dining-room and the storechamber within it’’: see also the famous temple inscr. cited s.v. ἀλλογενής. In P Oxy X. 1274 (ili/A.D.) a minor is described—étt ὄντος ἐντὸς τοῦ Λαιτωρίου νόμου, “ being still subject to the Laetorian law ’’—a law protecting persons under the age of twenty-five from fraud: see the editors’ note, where reference is made to BGU II. 378% (li/ili A.D.) and 611: (i/A.p.). In the medical receipt P Oxy VIII. 10888 (early i/a.D.) the remedy to stop nosebleeding is—pavvay φύρασον χυλῶι πράσωι kal ἐνάλιψον τὸν χυλὸν ἐνδόθεν, ‘mix frankincense with onion-juice and apply the juice inside ”’ (Ed.).
