Mark (Verb)
Mark (Verb)
lit., “to hold upon” (epi, “upon,” echo, “to hold”), signifies (like parecho) “to hold out,” Phi 2:16, of the word of life; then, “to hold one’s mind towards, to observe,” translated “marked” in Luk 14:7, of the Lord’s observance of those who chose the chief seats. See HEED, HOLD, STAY.
“to look at, behold, watch, contemplate,” (akin to skopos, “a mark,” see Noun above), is used metaphorically of “looking to,” and translated “mark” in Rom 16:17, of a warning against those who cause divisions, and in Phi 3:17, of observing those who walked after the example of the Apostle and his fellow workers, so as to follow their ways. See HEED, Note (1), LOOK.
