1. to bring to, lead to: τινα τίνι, one to a person who can heal him or is ready to show him some other kindness, Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:16; Matthew 9:2, 32; Matthew 14:35; Matthew 17:16; Mark 2:4 (namely, τινα) T WH Tr marginal reading; 10:13; Luke 18:15; passive, in Matthew 12:22 (where L WH text act.); R G T; ; — one to a person who is to judge him: Luke 23:14; τινα ἐπί τάς συναγωγάς καί τάς ἀρχάς, Luke 12:11 (Winers Grammar, § 52, 3) (where T Tr text WH εἰσφέρωσιν). προσφέρω τί, to bring br present a thing, Matthew 25:20; τί τίνι, to reach or hand a thing to one, Matthew 22:19; Luke 23:36 (here A. V. offering); τί τῷ στόματι τίνος, to put to, John 19:29; a thing to one that he may accept it, to offer: χρήματα, Acts 8:18; δῶρα, Matthew 2:11; used, as often in the Sept., of persons offering sacrifices, gifts, prayers to God (cf.

2. The passive with the dative signifies to be borne toward one, to attack, assail; then figuratively, to behave oneself toward one, deal with one: ὡς υἱοῖς ὑμῖν προσφέρεται Θεός, Hebrews 12:7 (very often so in Attic writings from Thucydides and Xenophon down; Philo de Josepho § 10; de ebrietate § 16; Josephus, b. j. 7, 8, 1; Aelian v. h. 12, 27; Herodian, 1, 13, 14 (7 edition, Bekker)).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

lit. ";strike with a rod,"; verbero, came in late writers to be used in the sense of ";strike (the face) with the palm of the hand"; (Suidas : ῥαπίσαι · πατάσσειν τὴν γνάθον ἁπλῇ τῇ χειρί) : see Lob. Phryn. p. 175, and cf. Rutherford NP p. 257 ff. This suits both the NT occurrences of the verb Matthew 5:39; Matthew 26:67 : cf. LXX Hosea 11:4, 1 Esdras 4:31.
