Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The use of ἀπολαβέσθαι in Mark 7:33 = ";draw aside,"; ";separate,"; is well illustrated by P Lond 42.12 ff. (B.C. 168) (= I. p. 30, Selections, p. 10) ἐπὶ δὲ τῶι μὴ παραγίνεσθαί σε [πάντω ]ν τῶν ἐκεῖ ἀπειλημμένων παραγεγο [νό ]των ἀηδίζομαι, ";but that you did not return when all those who were shut up with you arrived distresses me";—with reference to the ";recluses"; of the Serapeum. So P Vat A.10 (B.C. 168) (= Witkowski.2, p. 65) ἠβουλόμην δὲ καὶ σὲ παραγεγονέναι εἰς τὴν πόλ [ι ]ν, καθάπερ. . . οἱ ἄλλοι οἱ ἀπειλη [μμένοι ] π [ά ]ντες. The word is of course very common. It is found in the sense of ";receive,"; ";welcome"; (as in the TR of 3 John 1:8) in P Lips I. 110.6 (iii/iv A.D.) εὐ ̣χ ̣ο ̣μενος ὅπως ὁλοκληροῦσάν σε καὶ ὑγιαίνουσαν ἀπολάβω (cf. Luke 15:27), and P Iand 13.17 ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς σε ἀπολάβωμεν. The full force of the ἀπό —as pointing to a ";promise made centuries before";—is probably to be retained in Galatians 4:5 (see F. B. West-cott, St Paul and Justification, p. 75). It is the ordinary correlative of ἀποδίδωμι. For the simple sense of ";receiving"; what is due, cf. P Tor I. 1viii. 28 (B.C. 116) (= Chrest. II. p. 38) τὴν τιμὴν ἀπολαβεῖν.
