Liddell-Scott-Jones Definitions

διαλεìγομαι

Middle voice from G1223 and G3004

Thayer's Expanded Definition

διαλέγομαι; imperfect διελεγομην; (1 aorist 3 person singular διελέξατο (L T Tr WH in Acts 17:2; Acts 18:19)); 1 aorist διελεχθην; (middle of διαλέγω, to select, distingish);

1. to think different things with oneself, mingle thought with thought (cf. διαλογίζομαι); to ponder, revolve in mind; so in Homer.

2. as very frequent in Attic, to converse, discourse with one, argue, discuss: absolutely, Acts (); f; (); περί τίνος, Acts 24:25; τίνι, with one, Acts 17:17; Acts 18:19; Acts 20:7; Hebrews 12:5; ἀπό τῶν γραφῶν, drawing arguments from the Scriptures, Acts 17:2; πρός τινα, Acts 17:11; Acts 24:12; with the idea of disputing prominent: πρός ἀλλήλους, followed by the interrogative τίς, Mark 9:34; περί τίνος, Jude 1:9.

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

P Oxy X. 1349 (iv/A.D.) ἐπειδὴ ἐξῆλθα ἀπὸ σοῦ ἐχθὲς μὴ διαλεχθείς σοι περὶ τῆς κυθίδος (i.e. κυθρ. = χυτρ.). P Petr III. 43 (3).15 (B.C. 240) ἔτι δὲ [οὐ ]κ ἀγνοεῖς ὡς σοὶ διελέγην περὶ τοῦ ση [σ ]άμου, ";you know how I conversed with you about the sesame"; (Edd.). BGU IV. 1080.11 (? iii/A.D.) καθὼς οὖν ὁ ἀδελφός σου Ἀμμωνᾶς διείλεκταί μοι περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ τῶν ὑμῶν πραγμάτων. P Flor II. 132.3 (A.D. 257) τοῖς κωμάρχαις τῆς Ταυρείνου διελέχθην περὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου. These instances will suffice to show that διαλέγεσθαι has in the vernacular the use seen in Mark 9:34. Elsewhere in the NT, as Bp E. L. Hicks points out in CR i. p. 45, ";it always is used of addressing, preaching, lecturing,"; a use which he shows to be predominant in inscriptions.
