Thayer's Expanded Definition

προσάγω; 2 aorist προσήγαγον; 1 aorist passive προσηχθην (Matthew 18:24 L Tr WH); from Homer down; the Sept. for הִקְרִיב, הִגִּישׁ, sometimes for הֵבִיא;

1. transitively, to lead to, bring (see πρός, IV. 1): τινα ὧδε, Luke 9:41; τινα τίνι, one to one (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 52, 4, 14), Matthew 18:24 L Tr WH; Acts 16:20; to open a way of access, τινα τῷ Θεῷ, for (A. V. to bring) one to God, i. e. to render one acceptable to God and assured of his grace (a figure borrowed from those who secure for one the privilege of an interview with the sovereign), 1 Peter 3:18 (noteworthy is the use, without specification of the goal, in a forensic sense, to summon (to trial or punishment), Acts 12:6 WH text (where others προάγω, which see 1)).

2. intransitively (see ἄγω, 4), to draw near to, approach (Joshua 3:9; Jeremiah 26:3 (), etc.): τίνι, Acts 27:27 ((not WH marginal reading)), where Luke speaks in nautical style phenomenally, the land which the sailor is approaching seeming to approach him; cf. Kuinoel (or Wetstein) at the passage; (see προσανέχω 2, and προσαχέω).

STRONGS NT 4317: προσανέχω προσανέχω;

1. to hold up besides.

2. intransitive, to rise up so as to approach, rise up toward: Acts 27:27 Lachmann stereotyped edition (see προσάγω, and προσαχέω) — a sense found nowhere else.

STRONGS NT 4317: προσαχέω [προσαχέω, προσάχω, Doric for προσηχέω, to resound: Acts 27:27 WH marginal reading (see their Appendix, p. 151; others προσάγειν, which see), of the roar of the surf as indicating nearness to land to sailors at night.]

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

The metaph. use of πταίω, ";stumble,"; in the NT (Romans 11:11 al.) may be illustrated from the vi/A.D. letter of an advocate, complaining about the treatment of certain cultivators in his employ—P Oxy VIII. 1165.11 παρακληθῆτε οὖν, εἴτε ἔπταισαν εἴτε οὐκ ἔπταισαν, ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπολυθῆναι, ";be persuaded, whether they made an error or whether they did not, to have them released"; (Ed.). The verb is also found in PSI VII. 767.38 (A.D. 331 ?) πτέ (= αί)σαντας τὴν τυχήν, and Syll 350 (=.8768).10 (B.C. 31) πταῖσαι, and a subst. πταῖμα (for πταῖσμα) in ib..3456.40 (c. B.C. 250) πταίματός [τι ]νος γενομένου. Cf. M. Anton, vii. 22 ἴδιον ἀνθρώπου φιλεἷν καὶ τοὺς πταίοντας, ";it is a man’s especial privilege to love even those who Stumble"; (Haines), and Menander Fragm. p. 195 fr. 672.2. See also Deissmann BS, p. 68.
