Verb aniēmi (to unfasten) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV with a few modifications for a more literal meaning)


Acts

16: 26Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened (aniēmi).
27: 40So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they unfastened (aniēmi) the ropes that tied the steering-oars; then hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
