Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἐνέχω; imperfect ἐνεῖχον; (present passive ἐνέχομαι); to have within, to hold in;

a. passive to be held, be entangled, be held ensnared, with a dative of the thing in which one is held captive — very often in Greek writings, both literally (as τῇ πάγη, Herodotus 2, 121, 2) and figuratively (as ἀγγελία, Pindar Pythagoras 8, 69; φιλοτιμία, Euripides, Iph. A. 527; κακῷ, Epictetus diss. 3, 22, 93): ζυγῷ δουλείας, Galatians 5:1; (θλίψεσιν, 2 Thessalonians 1:4 WH marginal reading) (ἀσεβείαις, 3Macc. 6:10).

b. ἐνέχω τίνι, to be enraged with, set oneself against, hold a grudge against someone: Mark 6:19; Luke 11:53 (Genesis 49:23); the expression is elliptical, and occurs in full (χόλον τίνι to have anger in oneself against another) in Herodotus 1, 118; 8, 27; 6, 119; see a similar ellipsis under προσέχω. (In this last case the ellipsis supplied is τόν νοῦν, Winers Grammar, 593 (552); Buttmann, 144 (126); Meyer, et al., would supply the same after ἐνέχειν in Mark and Luke the passages cited and render the phrase to have (an eye) on, watch with hostility; but DeWette, Bleek, others, agree with Grimm. Many take the expression in Luke, the passage cited outwardly, to press upon (R. V. text); see Stephanus Thesaurus, under the word; Liddell and Scott, under the word; Hesychius ἐνέχει. μνησικακεῖ. ἔγκειται.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Numerous instances of this verb in the passive with ihe simple dative, as in Galatians 5:1 (cf. 2 Thessalonians 1:4 B) are forthcoming, e.g. P Tebt I. 5.5 (B.C. 118), an amnesty granted by Euergetes II. and the two Cleopatras, the ";sister"; and the ";wife,"; to all their subjects π ]λ ̣ὴ ̣ ν τ ̣[ῶν φόν ]ους (l. —οις) ἑκουσίοις καὶ ἱεροσυλίαις ἐ ̣νεχομ ̣[ένων, ";except to persons guilty of wilful murder or sacrilege,"; BGU IV. 1051.34 (time of Augustus) χορὶς (l. χωρὶς) τοῦ τὸν παραπαίνοντα (l. παραβαίνοντα) ἐνέχισθαι τῷ ὡρισμίνῳ προστίμῳ, ";apart from the transgressor’s being involved in the appointed penalty,"; P Oxy II. 237viii. 18 (A.D. 186) τοῖς τεταγμένοις ἐπιτίμοις ἐνεχόμενος, ";subject to the legal penalties,"; P Giss I. 48.14 (A.D. 202–3) ἐπὶ τῷ μὴ ̣ ἐνέχεσθαι ἐπιθέμασι προτέρων ἐτ ̣ῶν. Cf. also syll 154.26 (end of iv/B.C.) ἐνεχέσθων τῶι ψηφί [σ ]ματι. For ἐ. construed with ἐν, see P Par 63xiii. 3 (ii/B.C.) ἐνεσχημένους ἔν τισιν ἀγνοήμασιν ἢ ἁμαρτήμασιν. On Mark 6:19, Luke 11:53, see Field Notes, pp. 28 f., 64, and note that the Sahidic translates respectively ";was angry with,"; and ";to provoke him"; : cf. class. ἐπέχω = ";attack.";
