ἀποτελέω

Strong’s: G658

Associated OET lemmas: ἀποτελέω

Notes: There are no doubt certain subtle distinctions, particularly of emphasis, in the series τελέω, ἐκτελέω[a], ἀποτελέω, ἐπιτελέω[a], συντελέω[a], and τελειόω[c], but it is not possible to determine with precision the particular distinctions on the basis of existing contexts, though possibly ἐκτελέω and ἀποτελέω emphasize more finality, while ἐπιτελέω[a] may focus upon the resulting purpose.

Form 1

Part of speech: verb

Related lemmas: τελέω

Sense 1: to complete, to finish, to end, to accomplish

Semantic entry: 68.22

Semantic domains: Aspect

Subdomains: Complete, Finish, Succeed

Definition: to bring an activity to a successful finish{N:001}

Notes: It is also possible to translate ἀποτελέω in RV LUK 13:32 · LV LUK 13:32 · Read together LUK 13:32 as ‘am performing,’ but the focus evidently is upon the completion of a series of such healings. The final phrase of RV LUK 13:32 · LV LUK 13:32 · Read together LUK 13:32, καὶ τῇ τρίτω τελειοῦμαι ‘and on the third day I will be finished,’ points to a possible distinction between ἀποτελέω and τελειόω, in which the first apparently serves to mark the end of a particular series, while the second points to the completion of anything and everything involved.
