1. recline at table, be seated for a meal — Greek verb anakeimai used as a middle/passive participle or imperfect meaning to recline at a meal table in the ancient Greco-Roman dining posture. Used uniformly across the Gospels for communal dining scenes. Jesus reclines at table (anekeito) in Bethany (Matt 26:7, 26:20; eng 'reclining,' arb muttaki'an, spa reclinandose/se-reclinaba). The beloved disciple was 'reclining' (anakeimenos) in Jesus's bosom at the Last Supper (John 13:23, 13:28). Jesus asks 'who is greater, the one reclining (anakeimenos) or the one serving?' (Luke 22:27). Used of guests at banquets and feasts: Herod's birthday guests (Mark 6:26, anakeimenous), the 5000 at the feeding miracle (John 6:11, anakeimenois), the wedding feast guests (Matt 22:10-11, anakeimenon), and the Eleven at table (Mark 14:18, 16:14). All multilingual glosses confirm the same meaning: arb muttaki'in, deu zu-Tisch-liegen, spa reclinados/recostados, heb mesev/mesubbim, hin baithe-hue, kor anja-inneun. 14×
