ἐκνεύω — ekneúō
ἐκνεύω: 1 aorist ἐξένευσα;
1. to bend to one side (τῇ κεφαλή, Xenophon, ven. 10, 12).
2. to take oneself away, withdraw: Joh 5:13, where Chrysostom says that ἐξενευσε is equivalent to ἐξεκλινε; but others derive the form from ἐκνέω, which see (the Sept. for סוּר, Jdg 4:18 Alex.; פָּנָה, to turn oneself, Jdg 18:26 Alex.; 2Ki 2:24; 2Ki 23:16; (add 3Ma 3:22; Josephus, Antiquities 7, 4, 2). In secular authors also transitively, to avoid a thing; as τά βέλη, Diodorus 15, 87; πληγήν, ibid. 17, 100.)
STRONGS NT 1593: ἐκνέωἐκνέω
1. properly, to swim away, escape by swimming (Thucydides 2, 90).
2. to escape, slip away secretly ((Pindar Ol. 13, 163); Euripides, Hipp. 470, etc.); in this sense many interpretations take ἐξενευσε in Joh 5:13. But Jesus withdrew not to avoid danger but the admiration of the people; for the danger first arose after his withdrawal.
