Forbid Not the Little Children - Question from the NT Greek Class



Matthew 19:14King James Version (KJV)

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΝ 19:141550 Stephanus New Testament (TR1550)

14 ο δε ιησους ειπεν αφετε τα παιδια και μη κωλυετε (κωλυo) αυτα ελθειν προς με των γαρ τοιουτων εστιν η βασιλεια των ουρανων

3 John 9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ Γ΄ 9-111550 Stephanus New Testament (TR1550)

εγραψα τη εκκλησια αλλ ο φιλοπρωτευων αυτων διοτρεφης ουκ επιδεχεται ημας
10 δια τουτο εαν ελθω υπομνησω αυτου τα εργα α ποιει λογοις πονηροις φλυαρων ημας και μη αρκουμενος επι τουτοις ουτε αυτος επιδεχεται τους αδελφους και τους βουλομενους κωλυει και εκ της εκκλησιας εκβαλλει 

(εκβαλλo is used in the sense of kicking out or excommunicating members; the parallel with koluo shows the force of forbidding - forbidding membership or belonging).
