Acceptable Accept Accepted [1]
(properly רָצָה , Ratsah' to Take Pleasure In Δέχομαι ). To Accept is not only to receive, but to receive with pleasure and kindness ( Genesis 32:20). It stands opposed to reject, which is a direct mode of refusal, and implies a positive sentiment of disapprobation ( Jeremiah 6:30; Jeremiah 7:29). To Receive, is an act of right — we receive what is our own; to Accept, is an act of courtesy — we accept what is offered by another. Hence an acceptable time, or accepted time ( Psalms 69:13; 2 Corinthians 6:2), signifies a favorable opportunity. "No prophet is Accepted in his own country" ( Luke 4:24), that is to say, his own countrymen do not value and honor him as they ought. "Neither Acceptest thou the person of any" ( Luke 20:21). The word Person here is intended to denote the Outward Appearance in contrast with inward character. (See Access).
