John 2:9.
2. to taste,
i. e. perceive the flavor of, partake of, enjoy:
τινος,

Matthew 16:28;
Mark 9:1;
Luke 9:27;
John 8:52;
Hebrews 2:9; [cf. Wetstein on Matthew, the passage cited; Meyer on John, the passage cited; Bleek, Lünem., Alford on Hebrews, the passage cited], followed by
ὅτι:
1 Peter 2:3 (
Psalm 33:9 (
Ps. 34:9)).
3. to take food, eat: absolutely,
Acts 10:10;
Acts 20:11; cf.
Kypke, Observations, ii., p. 47;
to take nourishment, eat — [but substantially as above], with the genitive
μηδενός,
Acts 23:14; with the ellipsis of a genitive denoting unlawful food,
Colossians 2:21.
