ἐπήλυτος, ον (s. ἔρχομαι, one of whose aor. poetic forms is ἤλυθον) (Dionys. Hal. 3, 72; Job 20:26; Philo, Cher. 120f; SibOr 7, 85) come lately, come after in imagery descriptive of one who is new to a thing B 3:6 (so Sin.—v.l. προσήλυτοι; s. Bihlmeyer ad loc.). The point seems to be that Barnabas endeavors to provide correct understanding of the Sinaitic law so that his readers do not encounter it as newcomers or neophytes.—DELG s.v. ἐλεύσομαι.

ἑαυτοῦ, ῆς, οῦ, pl. ἑαυτῶν, reflexive pron. (Hom.+; JosAs 7:6 [oft. cod. A; 3:2 αὐτοῦ]). Editors variously replace contract forms αὑτοῦ and αὑτῶν of later mss. w. uncontracted forms or w. αὐτοῦ, αὐτῶν; cp., e.g., the texts of Mk 9:16; Lk 23:12; J 2:24; 20:10; Ac 14:17; Ro 1:24; Eph 2:15; Hb 5:3; 1J 5:10; Rv 8:6; 18:7 in GNT^1–3 w.

L. 1, 64 from a letter of Solon: religion and lawgivers can do nothing καθʼ ἑαυτά=if they are dependent on themselves alone).—βασιλεία μερισθεῖσα καθʼ ἑαυτῆς a kingdom that is divided against itself Mt 12:25.—μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ, μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν with oneself, themselves (cp. 1 Km 9:3; 24:3 ἔλαβεν μεθʼ ἑ.) Mt 12:45; 25:3.

η. παρʼ ἑαυτῷ τιθέναι τι put someth. aside 1 Cor 16:2 (X., Mem. 3, 13, 3; cp. Jos., Ant. 9, 68 οἴκαδε παρʼ αὑτῷ; Tat. 7, 2 λόγου δύναμις ἔχουσα παρʼ ἑαυτῇ τὸ προγνωστικόν ‘has in itself’).

(Ps.-Pla., Alc. 2, 143c; Dio Chrys. 30 [47], 6 σὺ … αὑτόν; Aelian, VH 1, 21; Galen, Protr. 10 p. 30, 10 John; Syntipas p. 115, 10 μεθʼ ἑαυτοῦ=with me; TestJob 2:3 διελογιζόμην ἐν ἑαυτῷ; GrBar 17:3 εἰς ἑαυτὸν ἐλθὼν δόξαν ἔφερον τῷ θεῷ.

παιδαγωγός, οῦ, ὁ (παῖς, ἄγω) since Eur.; Hdt. 8, 75; Plut.; ins [reff. in SIG 1253 n. 1]; pap, Philo; Jos., Ant. 1, 56; 18, 202, Vi. 429. Common as a loanw. in rabb. [SKrauss, Griech. u. lat. Lehnwörter im Talmud usw. II 1899, 421]). Orig. ‘boy-leader’, the man, usu. a slave (Plut., Mor. 4ab), whose duty it was to conduct a boy or youth (Plut., Mor. 439f) to and from school and to superintend his conduct gener.; he was not a ‘teacher’ (despite the present mng. of the derivative ‘pedagogue’ [s. OED s.v. 1a as opposed to 2]; παιδαγωγός and διδάσκαλος are differentiated: X., De Rep. Lac. 3, 2; Pla., Lys. 208c [JCallaway, JBL 67, ’48, 353–55]; Diog. L. 3, 92; Philo, Leg. ad Gai. 53). When the young man became of age, the π. was no longer needed (cp. Gaius’ complaint about Macro’s intentions Philo, In Facc. 3 (15); s. JMarquardt²-AMau, D. Privatleben der Römer 1886, 114; WBecker-HGöll, Charikles II³ 1878, 46ff [Eng. tr. FMetcalfe, 1889, 226f]; ABaumeister, Denkmäler d. klass. Altertums 1885–88 II, 1125f). In our lit. one who has responsibility for someone who needs guidance, guardian, leader, guide. As a pers. to whom respect is due, beside the father (as Plut., Lyc. 50 [17, 1]) 1 Cor 4:15. The law as a π. (so Plut., Mor. 645bc τοῦ νόμου καθάπερ παιδαγωγοῦ). Paul evaluates the Mosaic law as a παιδ. εἰς Χριστόν Gal 3:24, where the emphasis is on the constrictive function of the law in contrast to freedom in the gospel. Humankind remains under its constraints, ὑπὸ παιδαγωγόν vs. 25, until God declares, by sending his Son, that it has come of age (s. υἱοθεσία).—DLull, JBL 105, ’86, 481–98 the law had temporal limitations; TGordon, NTS 35, ’89, 150–54 role of guardian; NYoung, Paidagogos, The Social Setting of a Pauline Metaphor: NovT 29, ’87, 150–76.—Pauly-W. 18/2, 2375–85; Kl.

παρακολουθέω fut. παρακολουθήσω; 1 aor. παρηκολούθησα; pf. παρηκολούθηκα (Aristoph., X., Pla.+; ins, pap, 2 Macc, TestSol; JosAs 29:6; ApcMos 8; Philo, Joseph., Just.; Tat. 12, 5; Ath.) ‘follow’.

① to be closely associated w. someone viewed as an authority figure, follow lit. of direct discipleship τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις Papias (2, 4); αὐτῷ: Jesus (2, 15).—Otherw.

② to be attendant upon, follow, accompany, attend w. dat. of pers. (τύχη ἡμῖν π. Demosth. 42, 21; Plut., Mor. 207e; πυρετοί μοι π. Demosth. 54, 11; βλάβη μοι π. PReinach 18, 15 [II B.C.]; 19, 12; PTebt 28, 2; PStras 22, 20. Cp. 2 Macc 8:11; Philo, Sacr. Abel. 70; Ath. 31, 1 [w. acc. and inf.]) σημεῖα τοῖς πιστεύσασιν ταῦτα παρακολουθήσει these signs will attend those who have come to believe Mk 16:17 (v.l. ἀκολουθήσει).

③ to conform to someone’s belief or practice by paying special attention, follow faithfully, follow as a rule (SIG 885, 32 π. τῇ περὶ τὸ θεῖον τῆς πόλεως θεραπείᾳ; PTebt 124, 4 [I B.C.] τῇ αὐτῶν π. πίστει; 2 Macc 9:27 π. τῇ ἐμῇ προαιρέσει) διδασκαλίᾳ 1 Ti 4:6; 2 Ti 3:10. This sense involves only a slight transference from ‘follow with the mind, understand, make one’s own’ (Demosth. et al.; esp. a t.t. of the Stoics) w. dat. of thing (Polyb. 3, 32, 2; Epict. 1, 6, 13 of intelligent awareness as opposed to mere functioning, the diff. between animals and humans; Vett. Val. 276, 23; SIG 718, 9 [c. 100 B.C.]; Just., D. 114, 1).

④ to pay careful attention to someth. in a segment of time, follow a thing, follow a course of events, take note of w. dat. of thing (Demosth. 18, 172 παρηκολουθηκότα τοῖς πράγμασιν ἐξ ἀρχῆς=one well acquainted with the affairs from the very beginning; 19, 257 ἀκριβέστατʼ εἰδὼς ἐγὼ καὶ παρηκολουθηκὼς ἅπασι κατηγορῶ=I bring my charges as one who has accurate knowledge and has followed everything; UPZ 71, 20 [152 B.C.] τῇ ἀληθείᾳ; Jos., C. Ap. 1, 53 personal acquaintance as opposed to information secured second-hand; 218 of inability to have a thorough grasp of certain writings: μετὰ πάσης ἀκριβείας … παρακολουθεῖν) ἐμοὶ παρηκολουθηκότι ἄνωθεν πᾶσιν ἀκριβῶς to me, with a firm grasp of everything from the beginning Lk 1:3 (s. HCadbury, Beginn. II 501f; Exp. 8th ser., 144, 1922, 401–20; NTS 3, ’56/57: 128ff having been familiar with, and M-M.; JRopes, JTS 25, 1924, 67–71.—GWhitaker, Exp. 8th ser., 118, 1920, 262–72; 119, 1920, 380–84; 121, 1921, 239ff; BBacon, Le témoignage de Luc sur luimême: RHPR 8, 1928, 209–26. Luke does not specify the means whereby he was able to assert his thorough familiarity [a rendering such as ‘research’ or ‘investigate’ depends on interpretation of the context and not on the semantic content of π.]. It can be assumed that some of it was derived from the kinds of sources cited in vs. 2. S. also s.v. ἀνατάσσομαι).—LAlexander, The Preface to Luke’s Gospel ’93, 127–31.—DELG s.v. ἀκόλουθος. M-M. TW.

πεδάω (fr. πέδη, cp. πέζα ‘instep’ Pollux 2, 192) aor. ptc. acc. pl. πεδήσαντες Da 3:20 Theod. Pass.: aor. ἐπεδήθην Da 4:33a, ptc. πεδήθεις (Tat. 9, 3); pf. 3 sg. πεπέδηται (Ath., R. 15 p. 66, 33), ptc. πεπεδημένος (Hom. et al.; also Paus. 8, 49, 6; LXX) ‘bind the feet with fetters’, then gener. bind, fetter, shackle (En 21:4; Philo, Aet. M. 129; SibOr 1, 371) ἐξαγαγεῖν ἐκ δεσμῶν πεπεδημένους καὶ ἐξ οἴκου φυλακῆς καθημένους ἐν σκότει to free prisoners from their bonds and from their dungeon those who sit in darkness B 14:7 (here, as in Just., the word πεπεδημένους, which occurs in sim. LXX passages [e.g. Ps 67:7 ἐξάγων πεπεδημένους], has come into the context of Is 42:7). The emendation πεπεδημένοι (for πεπηδημένοι) has been suggested for AcPl BMM verso 5, but Sanders, favoring Septuagint usage of ἐκπηδάω (q.v. 3) restores: [οἱ ἐ]ν̣ σκοτίᾳ θαν[άτου ἐκ]|πεπηδημένοι lines 4f (s. his note). The text continues: φῶς ἀνέτειλεν ὑμῖν and with the form πεπεδημένοι (which also fits in the lacuna of AcPl Ha 8, 32f) can be rendered for you, fettered in the darkness of death, the light has shined (cp. τοὺς νεκροὺς … πεπεδημένους καὶ τεθλιμμένους ἐν σκότῳ καὶ γνόφῳ ἐντὸς τοῦ Ἅιδου Cleopatra p. 15 ln. 44). But Sanders is reluctant to “accept an emendation in a manuscript so carefully written and belonging to the third century” (HTR 31, ’38, 87) and interprets ‘those who are living (sinfully) in the darkness of death’.—DELG s.v. πέδη.
