e. to comprehend, understand, (like Latin audio): Mark 4:33; Galatians 4:21 ((Lachmann marginal reading ἀναγινώσκετε) yet cf. Meyer at the passage); (Genesis 11:7).

2. ἀκούειν is not joined with the genitive of the object unless one hear the person or thing with his own ears (Buttmann, 166 (114));

a. with the genitive of a person; simply; α. to perceive anyone's voice: οὗ, i. e., of Christ, whose voice is heard in the instruction of his messengers (Luke 10:16), Romans 10:14 (Winer's Grammar, 199 (187) note{2}), β. to give ear to one, listen, hearken, (German ihm zuhoren, ihn anhoren): Matthew 2:9; Mark 7:14; Mark 12:37; Luke 2:46; Luke 10:16; Luke 15:1; Luke 19:48; Luke 21:38; Acts 17:32; Acts 24:24 (in both these passages τίνος περί τίνος); ; John 6:60. γ. to yield to, hear and obey, hear to one, (German auf einen horen): Matthew 17:5 (Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35); John 3:29; John 10:8; Acts 3:22; Acts 4:19; Acts 7:37 (R G); 1 John 4:5f. Hence, δ. its use by John in the sense to listen to, have regard to, of God answering the prayers of men: John 9:31; John 11:41; 1 John 5:14f (the Sept. render שָׁמַע by εἰσακούω). ε. with the genitive of person and participle (Buttmann, 301 (259)): Mark 14:58; Luke 18:36; John 1:37; John 7:32; Acts 2:6, 11; Revelation 16:5; ἤκουσα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγοντος, Revelation 16:7 G L T (Tr WH the Sinaiticus manuscript), a poetic personification; cf. DeWette at the passage, Winers Grammar, § 30, 11.

b. with the genitive of a thing: τῆς βλασφημίας, Mark 14:64 (Lachmann τήν βλασφημίαν, as in Matthew 26:65; the accusative merely denotes the object; τῆς βλασφημίας is equiv, in sense to αὐτοῦ βλασφημοῦντος (cf. Buttmann, 166 (145))); τῶν λόγων, Luke 6:47 (Matthew 7:24 τούς λόγους); John 7:40 (L T Tr WH the Sinaiticus manuscript, but R G τόν λόγον (cf. Buttmann, as above)); συμφωνίας καί χορῶν, Luke 15:25; τοῦ στεναγμοῦ, Acts 7:34; τῆς ἀπολογίας, Acts 22:1. The frequent phrase ἀκούειν τῆς φωνῆς (equivalent to שָׁמַע , Exodus 18:19) means α. to perceive the distinct words of a voice: John 5:25, 28; Acts 9:7; Acts 11:7; Acts 22:7; Hebrews 3:7, 15; Hebrews 4:7; Revelation 14:13; Revelation 21:3. β. to yield obedience to the voice: John 5:25 (οἱ ἀκούσαντες namely, τῆς φωνῆς); John 10:16, 27; John 18:37; Revelation 3:20. In John 12:47; John 18:37; Luke 6:47; Acts 22:1, it is better to consider the pronoun μου which precedes as a possessive genitive rather than, with Buttmann, 167 (145f), to assume a double genitive of the object, one of the person and one of the thing. The Johannean phrase ἀκούειν παρά τοῦ Θεοῦ, or τί παρά Θεοῦ, signifies a. to perceive in the soul the inward communication of God: John 6:45.

b. to be taught by God's inward communication: John 8:26, 40 (so, too, the simple ἀκούειν in John 8:30); to be taught by the devil, according to the reading of L T Tr WH, ἠκούσατε παρά τοῦ πατρός, in John 8:38. For the rest cf. Buttmann, 165 (144ff); 301 (258ff) (Compare: διακούω, εἰσακούω, ἐπακούω, παρακούω, προακούω, ὑπακούω.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The verb is of course common enough, and needs little or no illustration, having few peculiarities. Its use for a judicial hearing (as Acts 25:22) may be paralleled with P Iand 9.10 (ii/A.D.) καὶ [μέ ]χ ̣[ρ ̣ι ̣] τ ̣ούτου οὔπο ἠκούσθ [η ̣μ ̣]εν ̣, and P Oxy VII. 1032.59 (A.D. 162), where the epistrategus endorses a petition with ἀκουσθήσε ̣τ ̣αι. So in BGU II. 511ii. 2 ( = Chrest. I. p. 26), an account written about A.D. 200 of a trial before Claudius, we have ἀκούει Κλαύδιος Καῖσα [ρ Σέβαστος Ἰσιδώρου ] γυμνασιάρχου πόλεως Ἀ [λεξανδρέων ] κατὰ Ἀγρίππου βασιλέω [ς ]. The last example will illustrate ἀκούειν with normal gen. of person : P Par 48.4 (B.C. 153) ( = Witkowski .2 p. 91) ἀκούσαντες. . τὰ περὶ σοῦ συνβεβηκότα will serve for accus. rei, and will also illustrate the common use with περί, since the phrase is a mixture of ἀκ. περὶ σοῦ and ἀκ. τά σοι συνβεβηκότα (Witk.). The same papyrus shows us the participial object clause, 1.2 ἀκούσαντες δὲ ἐν τῷ μεγάλῳ Σαραπιείου ὄντα σε. In P Amh II. 37.8 (ii/B.C.) ἐκούομεν δὲ μὴ παραγεγονέ [ναι. . . we have apparently the infin. construction, and so in P Grenf II. 36.15 (B.C. 95), ἠκούσαμεν τὸν μῦν καταβεβρωκέναι τὸν σπόρον —Witkowski (.2 p. 120, cf. p. xiv.) allows the writer to be ";modice eruditus."; For ἀκούειν ὡς cf. CPHerm 22.5 : for the commoner ὅτι, P Tebt II. 416.8 (iii/A.D.) μὴ οὖν ἀκούσῃς ἀνθ ̣ρ ̣ω ̣πων ὅτι μέλλω μένιν ἐνθάδε. With the introductory imper., as in Mark 4:3, cf. the dialogue in P Ryl II. 63.8 (iii/A.D.) where ἄκουε precedes an exposition.
