Definition

ἀνά-κειμαι
[in LXX: I Est.4:10, Tob.9:6 א * ;]
1. in cl., as pass. of ἀνατίθημ, to be laid up, laid: Mrk.5:40 Rec.
2. In late writers (cf. MM, VGT, see word) = κεῖσθαι, κατακεῖσθαι, to recline at table: Mat.26:20; part. ἀνακείμενος, Mat.9:10 22:10-11 26:7, Mrk.6:26 14:18 16:14, Luk.22:27, Jhn.6:11 12:2 13:23, 28.†
SYN.: ἀνακλίνω, ἀναπίπτω, the latter denoting an act rather than a state and thus in Jhn.13:25 differing from ἀνάκειμαι (see. Jhn.13:23) by indicating a change of position. (AS)
