Hi Beata,
May I suggest that basic idea of LAMBANW is to receive something. If the
emphasis is placed upon the action of the giver the idea is to receive, i.e.
Jesus received it from the Father. However when placed in the context of the
sentence if the emphasis is on the one who receives it than the idea is to
take, i.e. to receive by a volitional action of taking.

Dear All,
I'm wondering if the verb LAMBANW which occurs 3 times in John 10:17-18 has
got one or two meanings there.
Twice Jesus says about LAMBANEIN his YUCH and at the end: TAUTHN THN ENTOLEH
ELABON PARA TOU PATROS MOU.
Translations usually is: take up his life; receive command. Can they be both
translated: "receive", although it's not the first meaning of the verb?
For translating "receive one's life again": Jesus has been given everything
by His Father, which is also stated in the idea of receiving a command here.
Against: in LXX LAMBANEIN YUCHN means takes someone's life, kill so the idea
of one's autority of someone else's life. Jesus uses it in 1st sing. so He
has an authority (EXOUSIA) over His own life, so He can take it, not
received.
Would you also say thai hINA has not its purpose menaing in: EGW TIQHMI THN
YUCHN MOU hINA LABW AUTHN?
