G3579–ξενίζω–xenizō

Who is living with Simon, a leather-worker, whose house is by the sea.

ξενίζεται xenizetai “lodges”

To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.

ξενίζεται. xenizetai “is lodged.”

So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

ἐξένισεν. exenisen “he lodged [them].”

Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

ξενίζεται xenizetai “lodges”

For you seem to us to say strange things, and we have a desire to get the sense of them.

ξενίζοντα xenizonta “Strange things”

And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.

ξενισθῶμεν, xenisthōmen “we may lodge,”

Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

ἐξένισεν. exenisen “entertained [us].”

Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

ξενίσαντες xenisantes “have entertained”

And they are wondering that you no longer go with them in this violent wasting of life, and are saying evil things of you:

ξενίζονται xenizontai “they think it strange”

Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:

ξενίζεσθε xenizesthe “do be surprised”
