Limited to Lk. 14:4; 23:56; Acts 11:18; 21:14; 1 Thess. 4:11, the Greek verb “hesuchazo” means “rest,” “be still,” “silent.”  This word describes abstention from work (Lk. 23:56), the silencing of possible opposition (Lk. 14:4; Acts 11:18), and cessation of an effort to convince (Acts 21:14).  In 1 Thess. 4:11, this verb describes a life free of “inordinate ambition” (Dictionary of New Testament Theology, 3:112).
