Mark 6:46


Footnote:

18

ἀποταξάμενος (middle voice): "Having separated oneself," "having renounced," or "having detached oneself." The middle voice implies that the subject is performing the action for their own benefit or in a self-directed manner. In addition to its core meaning of renouncing or separating, it can also carry the sense of "bidding farewell" or "taking leave" of something or someone, depending on context. This is consistent with the broader use of ἀποτάσσω in both active and middle forms in Greek.
