διᾰνύω G1274
to complete, finish a journey; to accomplish or bring to an end
This verb means to complete, accomplish, or finish—particularly journeys or tasks. Acts 21:7 describes Paul and companions 'completing the voyage' from Tyre to Ptolemais. Classical usage included finishing journeys, accomplishing tasks, or even 'living' (completing one's life). The sense of bringing something to its intended end or accomplishment is central to this term.
Senses
1. sense 1 — To complete or finish a journey or course, bringing it to its intended conclusion. Paul's maritime journey segment in Acts 21:7 was 'completed' (aorist participle) when they arrived at Ptolemais—they finished that leg of the voyage. The translations recognize both the journey completion and the broader sense of accomplishing or concluding any extended activity. 1×
