See MANNER , SO.

a strengthened form of hos, "as," denotes "in like manner, just so, likewise;" it is sometimes translated "likewise," e.g., Matthew 20:5; 21:30 .

"and, even," is translated "likewise" in the AV and RV of Matthew 20:10 (last kai in the verse), more lit., "even they;" elsewhere the RV has "also," for the AV, "likewise," Matthew 18:35; 24:33; Luke 3:14; 17:10; 19:19; 21:31; Acts 3:24; 1 Corinthians 14:9; Colossians 4:16; 1 Peter 4:1; in Matthew 21:24 , the AV has "in like wise" (RV, "likewise").

from para, "beside," and the adjective plesios, "near" (akin to the adverb pelas, "near, hard by"), is used in Hebrews 2:14 , AV, "likewise" (RV, "in like manner"), expressing the true humanity of Christ in partaking of flesh and blood.

Notes: (1) In Matthew 17:12; Romans 6:11 , AV, the adverb houtos, "thus, so," is translated "likewise," (RV, "so"); in Luke 15:7; 10 , AV, "likewise," RV, "even so;" in Luke 14:33 , AV, followed by oun, "therefore," it is rendered "so likewise" (RV, "so therefore").
