Notes: There are no doubt certain contextual constraints involved in the choice of ἀναδέχομαι[a], ἀποδέχομαι[a], ἐπιδέχομαι[a], εἰσδέχομαι, ὑποδέχομαι, προσδέχομαι[b], and παραδέχομαι[b] in the sense that the spacial relationships involved in the welcoming of a guest can be reflected in the prepositional prefixes. For example, in RV LUK 8:40 · LV LUK 8:40 · Read together LUK 8:40 the use of ἀποδέχομαι may focus upon the particular source, while ἐπιδέχομαι in RV JN3 1:10 · LV JN3 1:10 · Read together JN3 1:10 may be relevant in view of the fact that the believers are coming to a particular point. προσδέχομαι in RV LUK 15:2 · LV LUK 15:2 · Read together LUK 15:2 may suggest a kind of reciprocal relationship which is established with outcasts, and παραδέχομαι in RV ACT 15:4 · LV ACT 15:4 · Read together ACT 15:4 may simply point to spacial proximity. However, it would be wrong to insist upon clear distinctions in meaning based on the very limited number of contexts involved. Some of these same distinctions in spacial relations may exist for the set προσλαμβάνω[e], παραλαμβάνω[d], ἀπολαμβάνω[d].
