STRONGS G1809:
ἐξαιτέω,
-ῶ: 1 aorist middle
ἐξῃτησαμην;
to ask from, demand of, [cf.
ἐκ, VI. 2]. Middle
to ask from (or
beg)
for oneself:
τινά,
to ask that one be given up to one from the power of another — in both senses, either for good,
to beg one from another, ask for the pardon, the safety, of someone, (Xenophon, an. 1, 1, 3; Demosthenes, p. 546, 22; Plutarch, Per. 32; Palaephatus 41, 2); or in a bad sense,
for torture, for punishment, (Plutarch, mor., p. 417 d. de defect. orac. 14; in secular authors often with this sense in the active); so of Satan asking the apostles out of the power and keeping of God to be tried by afflictions (allusion being made to
Job 1:1-12):
Luke 22:31 (Test xii. Patr., p. 729 [test. Benj. § 3]
ἐὰν τὰ πνεύματα τοῦ Βελιάρ εἰς πᾶσαν πονηρίαν θλίψεως ἐξαιτήσωνται ὑμᾶς).
