Vocabulary of the Greek NT

For the neutral sense of this verb ";am acted upon,"; ";experience,"; as in Matthew 17:15 (v. l.), cf. the common euphemism ἐάν τι πάσχω with reference to death, e.g. P Eleph 2.3 (B.C. 285–4) ἐὰν δέ τι πάσχηι Διονύσιος, P Petr I. 14.9 (a Will—B.C. 237) ἐὰν δέ τι ] ἀνθρώπινον πάσχω καταλιμπάνω τὰ ὑπ [άρχοντα κτλ., and P Ryl II. 68.22 ff. (B.C. 89) where ἐὰν μέν τ ̣ι ̣ πάθω is contrasted with ἐὰν δὲ περιγένωμαι, ";if I survive,"; In a deed of divorce, P Flor I. 93.14 (A.D. 569), the parties complain—ἐκ σκαιοῦ πονηροῦ δαίμονος π [ε ]πόνθαμεν. Note also πάσχω ἀπόκρισιν, which occurs ter in P Oxy XVI. 1855.8, .10, .14 (vi/vii A.D.), and is understood by the editors, ";get a favourable response"; to certain demands. The document is late, but the curious phrase may perhaps be taken as illustrating the good sense which is sometimes given to the verb in Galatians 3:4.

For the meaning ";experience ill treatment,"; ";suffer"; bodily or otherwise, we may cite P Amh II. 78.4 (A.D. 184) βίαν πάσχων ἑκάστοτε ὑπὸ Ἑκυ ̣σεως, ";I am constantly suffering violence from Hekusis,"; PSI IV. 299.7 (iii/A.D.) τραχώματα (";roughnesses";) ἔσχον καὶ δεινὰ πέπονθα (for form, see Proleg. p. 154), P Oxy VIII. 1120.1 (early iii/A.D.) περὶ ἧς (sc. ὕβρεως) πέπονθεν ἐπὶ τόπων ὁ ἀνὴρ τῆς θυγατρός μου Πολυδεύκης, ";concerning the outrage suffered at his abode by my son-in-law Polydeuces"; (Ed.), and the Christian P Fay 136.3 (iv/A.D.) ε ]ἰδότες ὅτι ἔχετέ με ἰς ὅσ᾽ ἂν πάσχετε, θεοῦ βοηθοῦντος, ";knowing that you have me to aid in whatever you may suffer, the Lord helping you"; (Edd.).
