1: καταλαμβάνω

(Strong's #2638 — Verb — katalambano — kat-al-am-ban'-o )

"to lay hold of," has the significance of "overtaking," metaphorically, in John 12:35 (RV, "overtake," AV, "come upon") and 1 Thessalonians 5:4 . See APPREHEND , No. 1.

2: προλαμβάνω

(Strong's #4301 — Verb — prolambano — prol-am-ban'-o )

"to anticipate" (pro, "before," lambano, "to take"), is used of the act of Mary, in Mark 14:8 [see COME , Note (2)]; of forestalling the less favored at a social meal, 1 Corinthians 11:21; of being "overtaken" in any trespass, Galatians 6:1 , where the meaning is not that of detecting a person in the act, but of his being caught by the trespass, through his being off his guard (see Galatians 5:21 and contrast the premediated practice of evil in Galatians 5:26 ). The modern Greek version is "even if a man, through lack of circumspection, should fall into any sin." See TAKE.
