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 Php_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, Mat_6:2; Mat_6:5; Mat_6:16; παράκλησιν, Luk_6:24; πάντα, Php_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.)
