Apolambano denotes receiving what is granted, due, or recovered, and in one scene taking someone aside.

The attested use most often concerns receiving what is granted, promised, or due, including reward, adoption, life, and consequences. It also describes receiving back a person or the amount lent, while Mark 7:33 shows the participle in the action of taking a man aside from the crowd.

3. Taking a person aside · rare

   In Mark 7:33 the aorist middle participle introduces the action before Jesus puts his fingers into the man's ears; the APB renders the clause "after taking him aside away from the crowd."

   Mark 7:33

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the clause with "receive," "received," or "receiving," and in Luke 15:27 and Luke 6:34 adds "back." In Mark 7:33 it renders the action as "taking him aside"; these are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
