δεῦτε, adverb, used when two or more are addressed [cf. Buttmann, 70 (61)]; perhaps from
δευῥ ἴτε [yet see
Buttmann Gram. 21te Aufl. § 115 Anm. 8], see
δεῦρο, 1;
1. from Homer down,
come hither, come here, come: followed by an imperative,
δεῦτε,
κληρονομήσατε,
Matthew 25:34; δεῦτε, ἴδετε, Matthew 28:6; John 4:29; δεῦτε, ἀριστήσατε, John 21:12; δεῦτε, συνάχθητε (Rec. δ. καὶ συνάγεσθε), Revelation 19:17. δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου come after me, be my disciples: Matthew 4:19; Mark 1:17 (equivalent to אַחֲרַי לְכוּ, 2 Kings 6:19); δεῦτε εἰς τ. γάμους, Matthew 22:4; εἰς ἔρημον τόπον, Mark 6:31; δεῦτε πρός με, Matthew 11:28.
2. It gets the force of an interjection, Come! Come now! followed by a hortatory subjunctive: δεῦτε, ἀποκτείνωμεν, Matthew 21:38; Mark 12:7 and R G in Luke 20:14. (Sept. mostly for לְכוּ, sometimes for בֹּאוּ.)
