T. restored ἔγειρε, present active imperative used intransitively and employed as a formula for arousing; properly, rise, i. e. Up! Come! cf. ἄγε; so in Euripides, Iph. A. 624; Aristophanes ran. 340; cf. Fritzsche on Mark, p. 55; [Buttmann, 56 (49), 144f (126f); Kühner, § 373, 2]; Sept. generally for הֵעִיר and הֵקִים; to arouse, cause to rise;
1. as in Greek writings from Homer down, to arouse from sleep, to awake: Acts 12:7; [Mark 4:38 T Tr WH]; passive to be awaked, wake up, [A. V. arise, often including thus the subsequent action (cf. 3 below)]: Matthew 25:7; Mark 4:27; [ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου, Matthew 1:24 L T Tr WH]; ἐγερθείς with the imperative Matthew 2:13, 20; with a finite verb, Matthew 2:14, 21; Matthew 8:26; [Luke 8:24 R G L Tr marginal reading]; ἐγείρεσθε, Matthew 26:46; Mark 14:42. Metaphorically, ἐξ ὕπνου ἐγερθῆναι, to arise from a state of moral sloth to an active life devoted to God, Romans 13:11; likewise ἔγειρε [Rec. -ραι] arise, καθεύδων, Ephesians 5:14.
2. to arouse from the sleep of death, to recall the dead to life: with νεκρούς added, John 5:21; Acts 26:8; 2 Corinthians 1:9. ἔγειρε [Rec. -ραι] arise, Mark 5:41; passive ἐγείρου, Luke 8:54 [R G T]; ἐγέρθητι, arise from death, Luke 7:14; ἐγείρονται οἱ νεκροί, Matthew 11:5; Luke 7:22; Luke 20:37; 1 Corinthians 15:15, 16, 29, 32 (Isaiah 26:19); ἐγείρειν ἐκ νεκρῶν, from the company of the dead [cf.
