Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words

Depart:

(a) Compounds of ago.

Depart:

lit., "to lead up" (ana, "up," ago, "to lead"), is used, in the Middle Voice, as a nautical term, signifying "to set sail, put to sea;" "to depart," Act 27:12, AV (RV, "put to sea"); Act 28:10 (RV, "sailed"); ver. 11 (RV, "set sail"). Cp. epanago, in Luk 5:3, to put out.
See BRING, No. 11.

Depart:

used intransitively, means "to pass by" (para, "by, beside"), and is so translated everywhere in the Gospels, except in the AV of Mat 9:27, "departed;" RV, "passed by." Outside the Gospels it is used in its other meaning, "to pass away," 1Cr 7:31; 1Jo 2:8 (RV), 17
See PASS.

Depart:

"to go," translated "depart" in Jam 2:16, AV, primarily and lit. meant "to lead under" (hupo, "under"); in its later use, it implied a "going," without noise or notice, or by stealth. In this passage the idea is perhaps that of a polite dismissal, "Go your ways."
See GET, GO.

Depart:

lit., "to come or go away" (apo), hence, "to set off, depart," e.g., Mat 8:18, is frequent in the Gospels and Acts; Rev 18:14, RV, "are gone."
See COME, No. 11 (Note), GO, PASS.

Depart:

"to come or go through, to pass through to a place," is translated "departed" in Act 13:14, AV; RV, "passing through;" elsewhere it is usually translated "pass through" or "go through."
See COME, No. 5.

Depart:

denotes "to come out, or go out of, to go forth." It is frequently translated by the verb "to depart," e.g., Mat 9:31; in Luk 4:42, for the AV, "He departed and went (No. 8)," the RV has "He came out and went;" in Luk 9:6 the AV and RV agree.
See COME, No. 3.

Depart:

"to come down" (its usual meaning), is translated "departed" in Act 13:4, AV (RV, "went down").
See COME, No. 7.

Depart:

akin to poros, "a passage," in the Middle Voice signifies "to go on one's way, to depart from one place to another." In some places, where the AV has the verb "to depart," the RV translates by "to go one's way," e.g., Mat 2:9, "went their way;" Mat 11:7; 24:1, "was going on His way." In the following the RV has the verb "to go," for the AV "depart," Luk 4:42 (latter part of verse); Luk 13:31; Jhn 16:7; 2Ti 4:10. In Luk 21:8, "go (after)," is said of disciples or partisans. Insome places both AV and RV translate by the verb "to depart," e.g., Mat 19:15; 25:41; Act 5:41; Act 22:21. This verb is to be distinguished from others signifying "to go." It is best rendered, as often as possible, "to go on one's way."
See GO, JOURNEY, WALK.

Depart:

ek, "from," in the Middle and Passive, "to proceed from or forth," more expressive of a definite course than simply "to go forth," is translated "go forth," in Mar 6:11; "went out" in Mat 20:29, RV (AV, "departed"); both have "depart" in Act 25:4. It is frequently translated by the verb "to proceed," and is often best so rendered, e.g., in Rev 9:17, 18, RV, for AV, "issued."
See COME, No. 33.

Depart:

"to go back, recede, retire" (ana, "back or up," choreo, "to make room for, betake oneself," choros, "a place"), is translated "departed" in Mat 2:12-14; 4:12 (RV, "withdrew"); so in Mat 14:13; 15:21, but "departed" in Mat 27:5; "withdrew" in Jhn 6:15. In Mat 2:22 the RV has "withdrew," which is preferable to the AV, "turned aside." The most suitable translation wherever possible, is by the verb "to withdraw."
See PLACE, B, No. 1, GO, No. 15, TURN, Note (1), WITHDRAW.
