Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2638 Greek: katalambano

Overtake:

"to lay hold of," has the significance of "overtaking," metaphorically, in Jhn 12:35 (RV, "overtake," AV, "come upon") and 1Th 5:4.
See APPREHEND, No. 1.

2 Strong's Number: g4301 Greek: prolambano

Overtake:

"to anticipate" (pro, "before," lambano, "to take"), is used of the act of Mary, in Mar 14:8 [see COME, Note (2)]; of forestalling the less favored at a social meal, 1Cr 11:21; of being "overtaken" in any trespass, Gal 6:1, where the meaning is not that of detecting a person in the act, but of his being caught by the trespass, through his being off his guard (see Gal 5:21 and contrast the premediated practice of evil in Gal 5:26). The modern Greek version is "even if a man, through lack of circumspection, should fall into any sin."
See TAKE.
