V. in], Matthew 13:35 (Psalm 77:2 (Ps. 78:2); ἐν ἔπεσι Lucian, Philops. § 33); πρός τινα, 2 Corinthians 6:11 (τὸ στόμα ἡμῶν ἀνέῳγε πρὸς ὑμᾶς our mouth is open toward you, i. e. we speak freely to you, we keep nothing back); the mouth of one is said to be opened who recovers the power of speech, Luke 1:64; of the earth yawning, Revelation 12:16. ἀν. ἀκοάς (τινος), i. e. to restore the faculty of hearing, Mark 7:35 (L T Tr WH). ἀν. τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς [Winer's Grammar, 33 (32)], to part the eyelids so as to see, Acts 9:8, 40; τινός, to restore one's sight, Matthew 9:30; Matthew 20:33; John 9:10, 14, 17, 21, 26, 30, 32; John 10:21; John 11:37; metaphorically, Acts 26:18 (to open the eyes of one's mind). ἀνοίγω τὴν σφραγίδα, to unseal, Revelation 5:9; Revelation 6:1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12; Revelation 8:1; ἀν. τὸ βιβλίον, βιβλαρίδιον, to unroll, Luke 4:17 L Tr WH; Revelation 5:2-5; Revelation 10:2, 8; Revelation 20:12.
