- παρακύπτω
- παρακύπτω 1 aor. παρέκυψα; inf. παρακύψαι (Aristoph., Hippocr. et al.; pap, LXX, En; JosAs 7:2 [cod. A and Pal. 364]; ApcMos 17; Philo) prim. ‘bend over’ (to see someth. better. Field, Notes 80f).① to bend over for the purpose of looking, w. focus on satisfying one’s curiosity, take a look (Phlegon: 257 Fgm. 36, 1, 3 Jac.; POxy 475, 23 [II A.D.]; LXX) εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον she stooped to look into the tomb J 20:11 (on π. εἴς τι cp. Lucian, Tim. 13; Pr 7:6; Sir 21:23). ἐκεῖ GPt 13:55. Abs. (Epict. 1, 1, 16; Aesop, Fab. 145 P.=251 H.; 203 Ch.; H-H. 150) παρακύψας βλέπει Lk 24:12; J 20:5. Cp. GPt 13:56.② to try to find out someth. intellectually, look (in, into) fig. ext. of 1; εἴς τι into someth. (Philo, Leg. ad Gai. 56) εἰς νόμον τέλειον Js 1:25 (here the expr. is suggested by the image of one who looks at oneself in a mirror vss. 23f). Of angels (cp. En 9:1), who strive to παρακύπτειν into the gospel of the suffering and glorified Christ, either: gain a clear glance, or: steal a glance at it (so POxy s. 1 above; cp. Demosth. 4, 24) 1 Pt 1:12.—M-M. TW.
