To stop by filling to obstruct to block up as, to choke the entrance of a harbor, or any passage. 3. To hinder by obstruction or impediments to hinder or check growth, expansion, or progress as, to choke plants to choke the spreading of the fruit. <p> [[Thorns]] choke them. Matthew 13 .

chōk ( πνίγω , pnı́gō , and its compounds): Is used in its primary sense of "to strangle," or "to suffocate," in describing the fate of the swine ( Luke 8:33 the King James Version). The Revised Version (British and American) has "drowned," but "choked" is the correct rendering of the Greek word.
Figurative: It is used in the sense of "to strangle" "smother," "suffocate," as if by depriving of breath, in describing the fate of the young grain growing in the midst of thorns ( Matthew 13:7 ).
