a. properly, absolutely, Matthew 4:11; Luke ( WH marginal reading); ; Acts 8:29; Acts 28:9; προσῆλθον λέγοντες, Luke 13:31; with rhetorical fullness of description (see ἀνίστημι, II. 1 c. (also ἔρχομαι, p. 250b bottom)) the participle προσελθών is joined to a finite verb which denotes a different action: Matthew 8:2 L T Tr WH, Matthew 8:19, 25; Matthew 9:20; Matthew 13:10, 27; Matthew 14:12; Matthew 15:12, 23; Matthew 16:1; Matthew 17:7 (R, G); T Tr WH marginal reading (according to a reading no doubt corrupt (cf.

T. προσέρχεσθαι, simply, is used of the priests about to offer sacrifices, Leviticus 21:17, 21; Deuteronomy 21:5; with the addition of πρός Θεόν, of one about to ask counsel of God, 1 Samuel 14:36; with τοῖς θεοῖς, of suppliants about to implore the gods, Dio Cassius, 56, 9); πρός Χριστόν, to attach oneself to Christ, to come to a participation in the benefits procured by him, 1 Peter 2:4 (cf. Winer's Grammar, § 52, 3). β. equivalent to to assent to (cf. German beitreten (Latinaccedere; English come (over) to, used figuratively)): ὑγιαίνουσι λόγοις, 1 Timothy 6:3 (Tdf. προσέχεται, which see 3).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

";crouching,"; ";cringing,"; hence ";a beggar,"; was always used in a bad sense until it was ennobled by the Gospels. It occurs in P Petr III. 36 (a) recto.17, .18 (Ptol.) along with its comparative, but unfortunately in a very broken context : see also ib. 140.1 (private accounts) πτώχωι ν ¯, γνάφει ο ¯. In Galatians 4:9 the translation ";beggarly"; is not very happy; the πτωχὰ στοιχεῖα are such that there is ";nothing in them";—no one is the better for them : see Westcott St. Paul and Justification, p. 81. MGr φτωχός, ";poor.";
