Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2875 Greek: kopto

Cut:

denotes "to cut by a blow," e.g., branches, Mat 21:8; Mar 11:8.
See BEWAIL, LAMENT, MOURN, WAIL.

2 Strong's Number: g609 Greek: apokopto

Cut:

"to cut off, or cut away" (apo, "from," and No. 1), is used

(a) literally, of members of the body, Mar 9:43, 45; Jhn 18:10, 26; of ropes, Act 27:32;

(b) metaphorically, in the Middle Voice, of "cutting off oneself," to excommunicate, Gal 5:12, of the Judaizing teachers, with a reference, no doubt, to circumcision.

3 Strong's Number: g1581 Greek: ekkopto

Cut:

lit., "to cut or strike out" (ek, "out or off," and No. 1), "to cut or down," is used

(a) literally, Mat 5:30 (in Mat 3:10; 7:19; Luk 3:9, "hewn down"); Mat 18:8; Luk 13:7, 9;

(b) metaphorically, of "cutting off" from spiritual blessing, Rom 11:22, 24; of depriving persons of an occasion for something, 2Cr 11:12.
See HEW.

Note: In 1Pe 3:7 the best mss. have enkopto, "to hinder;" some have ekkopto.

4 Strong's Number: g2629 Greek: katakopto

Cut:

lit., "to cut down, cut in pieces" (kata, "down," intensive), Mar 5:5, of the demoniac.

5 Strong's Number: g1282 Greek: diaprio

Cut:

signifies "to saw asunder" (dia, "asunder," prio, "to saw"), "to divide by a saw" (as in 1Ch 20:3, Sept.), hence, metaphorically, "to be sawn through mentally, to be rent with vexation, to be cut to the heart," is used in Act 5:33; 7:54.

6 Strong's Number: g1371 Greek: dichotomeo

Cut:

lit., "to cut into two parts" (dicha, "apart," temno, "to cut," tome, "a cutting"), Mat 24:51, "to cut asunder," is used in Luk 12:46. Some take the reference to be to the mode of punishment by which criminals and captives were "cut" in two; others, on account of the fact that in these passages the delinquent is still surviving after the treatment, take the verb to denote "to cut up" by scourging, to scourge severely, the word being used figuratively.

As to Mat 24:51, it has been remarked that the "cutting asunder" was an appropriate punishment for one who had lived a double life. In both passages the latter part of the sentence applies to retribution beyond this life. In the Sept. the verb is used in Exd 29:17 of the dividing of the ram as a whole burnt offering at the consecration of the priests. The corresponding noun is found in Gen 15:11, 17; Exd 29:17; Lev 1:8, Eze 24:4.

7 Strong's Number: g4932 Greek: suntemno

Cut:

lit., "to cut together" (sun, "with," temno, "to cut;" the simple verb temno is not found in the NT), signifies "to contract by cutting, to cut short;" thus, to bring to an end or accomplish speedily; it is said of a prophecy or decree, Rom 9:28 (twice), from the Sept. of Isa 10:23.
See SHORT.

8 Strong's Number: g851 Greek: aphaireo

Cut:

"to take away, remove," is translated "cut off" in Mar 14:47, AV, and Luk 22:50, and "smote off" in Mat 26:51; RV, "struck off" in each place.
See SMITE, TAKE.
