Verb ekkoptō (to cut) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV)


Matthew

3: 10Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut (ekkoptō) down and thrown into the fire.
5: 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut (ekkoptō) it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell.
7: 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut (ekkoptō) down and thrown into the fire.
18: 8"If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut (ekkoptō) it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed or lame than to have two hands or two feet and to be thrown into the eternal fire.

Luke

3: 9Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut (ekkoptō) down and thrown into the fire."
13: 7So he said to the gardener, 'See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and still I find none. Cut (ekkoptō) it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?'
13: 9If it bears fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut (ekkoptō) it down.'"
