Verb periaireō (to take off) in the Gospels-Acts

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


Acts

27: 20When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last taken off (periaireō).
27: 40So they took off (periaireō) the anchors and left them in the sea. At the same time they loosened the ropes that tied the steering-oars; then hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach.
