Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἑαυτοῦ, ἑαυτῆς, ἑαυτοῦ, etc. or (contracted) αὑτοῦ, αὑτῆς, αὑτοῦ (see p. 87); plural ἑαυτῶν; dative ἑαυτοῖς, ἑαυταῖς, ἑαυτοῖς, etc.; reflexive pronoun of the 3rd person. It is used:

1. of the 3rd person singular and plural, to denote that the agent and the person acted on are the same; as, σῴζειν ἑαυτόν, Matthew 27:42; Mark 15:31; Luke 23:35; ὑψοῦν ἑαυτόν, Matthew 23:12, etc. ἑαυτῷ, ἑαυτόν are also often added to middle verbs: διεμερίσαντο ἑαυτοῖς, John 19:24 (Xenophon, mem. 1, 6, 13 ποιεῖσθαι ἑαυτῷ φίλον); cf. Winers Grammar, § 38, 6; (Buttmann, § 135., 6). Of the phrases into which this pronoun enters we notice the following: ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ, see ἀπό, II. 2 d. aa.; δἰ ἑαυτοῦ, of itself, i. e. in its own nature, Romans 14:14 (Tr L text read αὐτοῦ); ἐν ἑαυτῷ, see in διαλογίζεσθαι, λέγειν, εἰπεῖν. Αἰς ἑαυτόν ἔρχεσθαι, to come to oneself, to a better mind, Luke 15:17 (Diodorus 13, 95). Καθ' ἑαυτόν, by oneself, alone: Acts 28:16; James 2:17. Παῥ ἑαυτῷ, by him, i. e. at his home, 1 Corinthians 16:2 (Xenophon, mem. 3, 13, 3). Πρός ἑαυτόν, to himself i. e. to his home, Luke 24:12 (R G; T omits, WH (but with αὑτόν) reject, L Tr (but the latter with αὐτόν) brackets, the verse); John 20:10 (T Tr αὐτόν (see αὑτοῦ)); with (cf. our to) himself, i. e. in his own mind, προσεύχεσθαι, Luke 18:11 (Tdf. omits) (2 Macc. 11:13); in the genitive, joined with a noun, it has the force of a possessive pronoun, as τούς ἑαυτῶν νεκρούς: Matthew 8:22; Luke 9:60.

2. It serves as reflexive also to the 1st and 2nd person, as often in classic Greek, when no ambiguity is thereby occasioned; thus, ἐν ἑαυτοῖς equivalent to ἐν ἡμῖν αὐτοῖς, Romans 8:23; ἑαυτούς equivalent to ἡμᾶς αὐτούς, 1 Corinthians 11:31; ἀφ' ἑαυτοῦ equivalent to ἀπό σεαυτοῦ (read by L Tr WH), John 18:34; ἑαυτόν equivalent to σεαυτόν (read by L T Tr WH), Romans 13:9; ἑαυτοῖς for ὑμῖν αὐτοῖς, Matthew 23:31, etc.; cf. Matthiae, § 489 II.; Winers Grammar, § 22, 5; (Buttmann, § 127, 15).

3. It is used frequently in the plural for the reciprocal pronoun ἀλλήλων, ἀλλήλοις, ἀλλήλους, reciprocally, mutually, one another: Matthew 16:7; Matthew 21:38; Mark 10:26 (Tr marginal reading WH αὐτόν); ; Luke 20:5; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13, 16; 1 Peter 4:8, 10; see Matthine § 489 III.; Kühner, ii., p. 497f; Bernhardy (1829), p. 273; (Lightfoot on Colossians 3:13).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

There is no decisive instance in the NT of ἑαυτοῦ in the sing. for the 1st or 2nd person : in 1 Corinthians 10:29 ἑαυτοῦ is indef. ";one’s own,"; not ";thine own,"; as AV, RV; and in John 18:34 σεαυτοῦ, and in Romans 13:9, Galatians 5:14 σεαυτόν, are the better readings. But the usage can be illustrated from the illiterate papyri : 1st pers.—BGU I. 86.5 (A.D. 155) συνχωρῶ μετὰ τὴν ἑαντοῦ τελευτὴν τοῖς γεγονόσι α [ὑτ ]ῷ ἐκ τῆς συνούσης αὑτοῦ γυναικός, 2nd pers.—P Tebt I. 18.5 (B.C. 114) φρόντισον ὡς πάντα [τ ]ὰ ἐνοφειλόμενα ἑαυτ ̣ω ̣̑ι. . ἐμ μέτρωι ἔσται τῆι αὐτῆι, ";see that all the debts due to you are in order on that day"; (Edd.), P Oxy II. 295.5 (c. A.D. 35) μὴ σκλύλλε (l. σκύλλε) ε ̣̔ατὴν ἐνπῆναι (l. ἐμφῆναι ?), ";don’t trouble yourself to explain (?)"; (Edd.). For the ordinary use with the 3rd pers. there may be cited P Tebt I. 49.7 (B.C. 113) τ [ὰ ] ἐν τῆι ἑαυτοῦ γῆι ὕδατα κατακέκλυκεν, ";let out the water on his own land,"; as distinguished from Crown land cultivated by a neighbour, BGU I. 45.12 (a complaint of violence—A.D. 203) Στοτόητις. . ἀνὴρ βίαιος. . ἐπῆλθεν αὐτῷ (sc. the complainant’s son), ἐπαγαγὼν σὺν α [ὐ ]τῷ τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱόν. Other exx. show a somewhat faded use of the reflexive as in the common phrase in legal papyri, μετὰ κυρίου τοῦ ἑαυτῆς ἀνδρός (ἀδελφοῦ, etc.), where a woman is the principal, or in the interchangeable use of ὁ πατήρ, ὁ ἴδιος πατήρ, and ὁ ἑαυτοῦ πατήρ in sepulchral inscrr., when a son is speaking of his father : see Proleg. p. 87 f., and add the contract where Tryphon arranges to apprentice τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν Θοῶνιν to another weaver (P Oxy II. 275.7—A.D. 66) and the reference in a magical formula to Isis as seeking ἑαυτῆς τὸν ἀδελφὸν κὲ ἄνδρα Ὄσιρειν (ib. VI. 886.8—iii/A.D.).

From ii/B.C. the plural ἑαυτῶν is regularly extended to the 1st and 2nd persons, as frequently in the NT : thus P Par 47.26 (c B.C. 153) (= Selections, p. 23) ἰ καὶ αὑτοὺς δεδώκ ̣αμεν, P Lond 401.6 (B.C. 116–11) (= II. p. 13) ἡμῖν τε καὶ ταῖς ἑαυτ ̣ῶν (= ";our";) ἀδελφαῖς, P Tebt I. 47.30 (B.C. 113) ἵν᾽ ἡμεῖς μὲν κομισώμεθα τὰ ἑαυτῶν, P Par 63.128 (B.C. 165) (= P Petr III. p. 28) περ [ὶ ] ἑαυτῶν κήδεσθε, P Grenf I. 30.9 (B.C. 103) ἐπιμελό [μενο ]ι δὲ καὶ ἑαυτῶν ἵν᾽ ὑγιαίνητε, and the other exx. in Mayser Gr. p. 303.

For ἑαυτῶν = ἀλλήλων we may quote P Grenf II. 25.4 (B.C. 103) ὁμολογία ἣν ἑκόντες συνχωρήσαντες ἔθεντο πρὸς ἑαυτούς, BGU IV. 1157.14 (B.C. 10) τανῦν συνχωροῦμε (ν) πρὸς ἑατοὺς ἐπὶ τοῖσδε, P Oxy II. 260.15 (A.D. 59) μέχρι οὗ ἃ ἔχωμεν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς ἐγ [β ]ιβασθῆι, and ib. I. 115.11 (ii/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 96) παρηγορεῖτε οὖν ἑαυτούς. On the a fortiori argument underlying the use of ἑαυτοῖς for ἀλλήλοις in some of its NT occurrences, see Lightfoot on Colossians 3:18.

The simple ὑμᾶς is substituted for ὑμᾶς αὐτούς (or perhaps rather σεαυτήν) in P Oxy II. 293.16 (A.D. 27) ἐπ ]ι ̣σκοπ [οῦ δ ]ε ̣, ὑμᾶς καὶ [πά ]ντας τοὺ [ς ] ἐν οἴκῳ : cf. P Amh II. 131.18 (early ii/A.D.) ὡς. . ἐχόντων (sc. ἡμῶν) ἐκ τούτου εἰς ἡμᾶς δαπανῆσαι, and see CR xv. p. 441. Sharp (Epict. p. 6) cites an interesting parallel to Luke 15:17 from Epict. iii. i. 15—ὅταν εἰς σαυτὸν ἔλθῃς. For the shortened forms σαυτοῦ (cf. James 2:8 B) and αὑτοῦ, see s.v. αὑτοῦ, and Moulton Gr. ii. § 76.
