πείθω

Strong’s: G3982

Associated OET lemmas: πείθω

Other spellings: πείθομαι

Notes: It would be possible to understand πείθομαι in RV ACT 5:36 · LV ACT 5:36 · Read together ACT 5:36 as meaning ‘those who trust in’ or ‘… rely on,’ and as such πείθομαι would then be classified along with πείθω[b] ‘to trust in,’ ‘to have complete confidence in’ (31.82: πείθω / 31.82: πεποίθησις). However, in RV ACT 5:36 · LV ACT 5:36 · Read together ACT 5:36 the meaning seems to be much closer to that of μαθητεύω[a] and ἀκολουθέω[c] (36.31: ἀκολουθέω / 36.31: μαθητεύω), since in RV ACT 5:36 · LV ACT 5:36 · Read together ACT 5:36 the emphasis is upon the relationship of followers to Theudas rather than upon their confidence in or reliance upon him.
