Strong’s Definitions [?](Strong’s Definitions Legend)
ἐκνεύω ekneúō, ek-nyoo'-o; from G1537 and G3506; (by analogy) to slip off, i.e. quietly withdraw:—convey self away.
STRONGS G1593:
ἐκνεύω: 1 aorist ἐξένευσα;
1. to bend to one side (τῇ κεφαλῇ, Xenophon, ven. 10, 12).
2. to take oneself away, withdraw: John 5:13, where Chrysostom says that ἐξένευσε is equivalent to ἐξέκλινε; but others derive the form from ἐκνέω, which see (Sept. for סוּר, Judges 4:18 Alex.; פָּנָה, to turn oneself, Judges 18:26 Alex.; 2 Kings 2:24; 2 Kings 23:16; [add 3 Macc. 3:22; Josephus, Antiquities 7, 4, 2]. In secular authors also transitively, to avoid a thing; as τὰ βέλη, Diodorus 15, 87; πληγήν, ibid. 17, 100.)

Related entry:
ἐκνέω:
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 ἐξένευσε in John 5:13. But Jesus withdrew not to avoid danger but the admiration of the people; for the danger first arose after his withdrawal.
