Vulgarspr., p. 252); future ἐρωτήσω; 1 aorist ἠρώτησα; the Sept. for שָׁאַל; to ask, i. e.:

1. as in Greek writings from Homer down to question: absolutely, Luke 22:68; John 8:7 (R); τινα, John 9:21; John 16:19, 30; (John 18:21 where Rec. ἐπερωτᾷς), etc.; with the addition of λέγων and the words of the questioner: Matthew 16:13; Luke 19:31 (om. λέγων; T Tr WH); John 1:19, 21; John 5:12; John 9:19; John 16:5; τινα τί (cf.

2. to ask i. e. to request, entreat, beg, beseech, after the Hebrew שָׁאַל, in a sense very rare in secular authors (Josephus, Antiquities 5, 1, 14 (but here the text is uncertain; substitute Antiquities 7, 8, 1; cf. Dr. Ezra Abbot in No. American Rev. for 1872, p. 173 note); Babrius fab. (42, 3); 97, 3; Apoll. synt., p. 289, 20; cf.

Buttmann, 265 (228)), 2 Thessalonians 2:1f; ἐρωτᾶν τά (WH text omits τά) πρός εἰρήνην (see εἰρήνη, 1), Luke 14:32. (Synonym: see αἰτέω, at the end. Compare: διερωτάω, ἐπερωτάω.)

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

ἐρωτάω in the sense of ";ask,"; ";entreat,"; is so amply vouched for in the Κοινή that it is quite unnecessary to bring in the influence of the Heb. שָׁאַל (Grimm) : cf. e.g. P Oxy II. 292.7 (c. A.D. 25) ἠρώτησα δὲ καὶ Ἑρμί [α ]ν τὸν ἀδελφὸν διὰ γραπτοῦ ἀνηγει ̣̑[σθαί ] σοι περὶ τούτου, P Ryl II. 229.8 (A.D. 38) ἐρωτῶ σε ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου εὐθέως μοι πέ [μ ]ψαι τὰς ἄλλας (ἀρτάβας) γ ̄, and from the inscrr. Syll 328.5 (B.C. 84) π ]ρὸς ἐμὲ ἦλθ [εν ἐ ]ν Ἀπαμήᾳ ἠρώτησέν τε [ὅπως ἂν ] ἐξουσίαν αὐ [τ ]ῷ [π ]οιήσω ἐπὶ τοῦ συν [βο ]υλίο [υ (where see Dittenberger’s note). Ἐρωτηθείς = ";being asked what your pleasure is"; comes to mean ";please,"; e.g. P Oxy II. 269.4 (A.D. 57) ἐὰν δύνῃ ἐρωτηθεὶς ὄχλησον Διόσκορον, ";if you can, please worry Dioscorus"; (Edd.) : cf. Abbott Joh. Gr. p. 468. For the conjunction with παρακαλῶ, as in 1 Thessalonians 4:1, cf. P Oxy II. 294.28 (A.D. 22) ἐρωτῶ δέ σε καὶ παρακαλ [ῶ γρά ]ψει μοι ἀντιφώνησιν περὶ τῶν γενομέν [ων : see further Milligan Thess. p. 46. On the relation of ἐρωτάω and αἰτέω in John 16:23, see Proleg. p. 66 n..1, and cf. Field NotesJoh. Gr. p. 469. f.) instance of ἐρωτάω in the sense of Christian prayer for Christians see the inscr. from the Roman catacombs ΖΗΣΗΣ ΕΝ ΚΩ ΚΑΙ ΕΡΩΤΑ ΥΠΕΡ ΗΜΩΝ (Northcote and Brownlow Roma Sotteranea, ii. p. 159) cited by Westcott ad 1 John 5:16. In MGr ἐρωτῶ may expand to ἐρωτάγω or contract to ῥωτῶ : a form ἀρωτῶ is also found.
