In English, we would say "nears" or, in the form here, "has neared," doesn't quite work so perhaps "has gotten close" or, in the case of time, "is nearly here." It is the verb form of an adverb "near" in space, time, and relationships.This is the same verb that is translated as "is at hand" in the phrase, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." It is not seen in written Greek before Jesus and used by him only seventeen times.

ἐγγὺς [6 verses](adv) "Nigh" is eggys, which means "near," "nigh," "at hand," nearly," "coming near," and "akin." -- The adverb translated as "nigh" means near in time or distance.

ἐγκατέλιπες;” [2 verses](verb 2nd sg aor ind act) "Forsaken" in the Greek is from egkataleipo, which means "to leave behind", "to leave in the lurch," and "to abandon."  - However, though Jesus's words end on the word for "leave behind" or "abandoned," the important point was that he was starting to say Psalm 22, which, though it suffering, being mocked, and scorned, ends as a plea for rescue ending in praise.

ἐγὼ [162 verses](pron 1st sg masc nom) "I" is ego, which is the first-person singular pronoun meaning "I." It also means "I at least," "for my part," "indeed," and for myself. -- I -- This is from the first-person, singular form of the verb. missing "myself" -- (MW)  The pronoun "I" is used here.  When the subject of the sentence is part of the verb, this pronoun accentuates who is speaking "I." Saying "I myself" captures this feeling in English. The subject pronoun repeats the information in the verb so it should be repeated in English like "I myself." When it has no verb, the verb "is" or the previous verb is assumed. MW - Missing Word -- The word "myself"  after "I" is not shown in the English translation. 

εἰ [90 verses](conj) "If" is ei, which is the particle used to express conditions "if" (with the indicative, implying nothing about its fulfillment) or indirect and direct questions, "whether." With the subjunctive and a result (apodosis) indicates a repeated action or a vivid future action.  It also means "if ever," "in case," and "whenever." In citing a fact, it can mean "as sure as" or "since."  It is combined with various conjunctions to create derivative conditions. When appearing as εἰ δὲ (literally, "if however") the sense is "if this...then that." The construction εἰ δὲ μή . . means "otherwise." The construction  εἰ οὖν has the sense of "if so." However, it is also used to express a wish. After verbs of wonder, delight, indignation, disappointment, contentment, and similar emotions, it is use instead of ὅτι, to express the object of the feeling in a hypothetical form, "that" with the indicative (not subjunctive). After ὅτι, it introduces a quotation where we use quotation marks. With the future tense, it is used for emphasis, a warning, or an intention.  When this word is paired with the conjunction translated as "but" or "however," the structure works like an "if then" statement in English.  With verbs of desire and emotion and the indicative in the second clause, the sense is "that." With an imperative, it is used to express a wish. The sense is "I wish that." With the future tense indicative, it is used for emphasis, a warning, or an intention. The emphasis clause is after the main statement. -- The "if" with  indicative verbs to express conditions "if" (implying nothing about its fulfillment) or indirect and direct questions, "whether. With verbs of possibility to implied repeated condition or a vivid future one. "It also means "if ever" and "whenever." When citing a fact  the sense is more  "whether," "since" or "as sure as."

εἰ δὲ μή [7 verses](conj particles) This construction  means "otherwise." The three words literally "if however not." The "if" here expresses a condition but it means nothing regarding whether that condition is not when used with the subjective negative. The Greek word "but" means "but," "however," and "on the other hand."  It joins phrases in an adversarial way. Since it always falls in the second position, translating it as "however" often captures its feeling better.  The negative used here is the Greek negative of a subjective opinion, commands, and requests. It is the negative used in "if" phrases. -- The "else" here comes from three Greek words that literally mean "if however not." This is usually translated as "otherwise" or, in the KJV, as "else."

εἰ μὴ [14 verses](conj particle) "Except" is ei me, which is the conjunction that means "if not," and "except." It is also used to create negative questions when the subjective negative would be used in the direct negative question. In negative questions "instead...not" might work better. εἰ is the particle use with the imperative usually to express conditions "if" or indirect questions, "whether." Used with the historical present (present tense in past time) to express unfulfilled conditions and with aorist to refer the past. The mê (me) is the negative used in prohibitions and expressions of doubt meaning "not" and "no."  Followed by an ἀλλὰ clause, the sense is "if not" some word related to time, "at least still," and without the reference time, "at least" but  -  (CW) "But is from Two Greek words are translated as "except." Literally, they mean "if not" but this phrase is used to mean "except." In negative questions "instead...not" might work better. This is not the word usually translated as "but." CW --Confusing Word -- This is not the common word usually translated as "but."

ἰδεῖν [166 verses](verb aor inf act) "To see" is eido which means "to see," "to examine," "to perceive," "to behold," "to know how to do," "to see with the mind's eye," and "to know." -- The verb translated as "see" means "to see" but it is used like we use the word "see" to mean "to know" or "to perceive." In the past perfect tense, it means "to know," and that sense of knowing gives this word a sense of seeing and understanding.

With the possessive (genitive) object, it means "is descended from," "is the type of," "belongs to," "is made of," "is a duty of," "is at the mercy of," or " is dependent on." With an indirect (dative) object, it means "have" where the subject and object are reversed.  "It is to him" becomes "it is his" or "he has it."  With the preposition,"into" (εἰς), the sense is "consist of." When the verb "to be" appears early in the clause before the subject, the sense is more like "it is" or, in the plural, "there are." -- The verb "is" here is the common form of "to be" in Greek. It means to have a certain characteristic or remain in a certain condition. It also equates terms or assigns characteristics.  The word also means "to exist" and where it doesn't connect to characteristics or conditions.

εἶπεν [162 verses]  (verb 3rd sg aor ind act) "Said" is eipon, which means "to speak," "to say," "to recite," "to address," "to mention," "to name," "to proclaim," "to plead," "to promise," and "to offer."  This is the second most common word Jesus uses for this idea. The other word is used more for discussion. Perhaps translating it consistently as "tell" would work. - The word translated as "said" means "to say" and "to speak." It is one of the two most common words translated "speak," "say" and "tell," but it has more a sense of addressing and proclaiming.

εἰρήνη [18 verses](noun sg fem nom) "Peace" is eirene, which means "time of peace," "national tranquility," "peace," "tranquility," "personal tranquility," and "harmony." It is the name for the goddess of peace. Among Judeans, it refers to the "health" in the sense of a peace of the body.  -- "Peace" is the Greek term that means harmony between individuals and nations" and the general idea of safety, security, and prosperity. It is the opposite of the state of war. In Hebrew, the word for peace was used in salutations and as an inquiry as to one's health. Among Judeans, it refers to the "health" in the sense of a peace of the body. Jesus uses this word to mean "peace" as opposed to war, "peace" as harmony, and "peace" as health.

εἰρηνεύετε  [2 verse](verb 2nd pl pres ind act or verb 2nd pl pres imperat act)  "Have peace" is eirēneuō,  which means to "bring to peace", "reconcile", "keep peace", "live peaceably". - (CW) "Have peace" is a verb that means to "bring to peace", "reconcile", "keep peace", "live peaceably".  CW --Confusing Word -- The "have peace" does not capture the word's specific meaning.

εἰρηνοποιοί, [1 verse](noun pl masc nom) is eirenopoios, which means literally, "one who produces peace" or "one who makes peaceful." The first part of the word comes the Greek word (eirene), which means "peace..

“εἴσελθε [68 verses](verb 2nd sg aor imperat) "Enter" is eiserchomai which means both "to go into," "to come in," "to enter," "to enter an office," "to enter a charge," (as in court) and "to come into one's mind." -- "Enter" is a word that means "enter," "go or come into" of an accuse "come into court," and has the double meaning of "coming into one's mind."

From these meanings, we get secondary meanings such as "introduce" and "to propose." Unlike many of the other verbs in the Lord's Prayer, it isn't in the form of a command, though it is translated that way in the KJV to match the form of the other verbs in the prayer. Its form is of something that "might" happen. It is a simple statement, not a request, about what the Father doesn't want to happen but the entire sentence comes across as a shy suggestion.

ἐκεῖνος [107 verses](adj sg masc nom) "That" is ekeinos, which refers to that which has gone immediately before and  means "the person there," "that person," "that thing," and "the nearer."

So it means "there," "here," or "then." Used a pronoun, the sense is "that one there" or "this one here." " CW --Confusing Word -- The "that" is the common word that should be translated as "here" or "there."

ἐκεῖθεν [6 verses](adv) "From that place" is from ekeithen, which means "from that place", "thence", "from that fact," and "thenceforward." -"From that place" is a single word, an adverb that means "from that place", "thence", "from that fact," and "thenceforward."

ἐκκλησίᾳ: [2 verses](noun sg fem dat) "The church" is ekklesia, which means an "assembly duly called." It comes from two Greek words meaning "to call away from." It describes an impromptu assembly of local people called away from their jobs to meet. The idea here is something less formal than to our idea of a jury, but a group of peers rather than a government organ.  - Through its use in the Epistles, the word translated here as "church" came to mean "church" but this was later in history. In Christ's time, it means an assembly of local people, like a town meeting but less formal that we think of meetings. Jesus uses it only used twice, in Matthew 16:18 and in Matthew 18:17 (not at all in Mark, Luke, or John) when Jesus tells Peter he is the rock on which this assembly will be built. The word only came into extensive use in the Act of the Apostles, which describes the local assemblies of the Christian community. Jesus could not have used to term in that sense or at least those listening to him would not have heard it that way.

ἐκκόπτεται [5 verses](3rd sg pres ind mp) "Cut it off" is ekkopto, which means "to cut out," "to knock off," "to beat off [in battle]," "to hinder," "to break open," "to win [in throwing dice]," "to erase [an inscription]," "to come to a stop," "to stamp a coin," "to pause," or "to cut off." It is also a metaphor for "to make an end of." The root koptô means "to smite," "to pound," "to chop," "to cut off," and "to beat one's breast.

Peirazô means "to attempt", "to try", "to test," and, in a bad sense, "to seek to seduce," and "to tempt."  -  - The Greek word that the KJV translates as "Thou shalt...test" (or "tempt" in other popular translations) is a little more complex than simple "to test." It adds a preposition that means "from" or "out of" to the more basic Greek word that means "to test" and "to seduce." The root word is only used by Jesus one other place in the Gospels, Mark 12:15. The combination of this word with "out" creates a word closer to our idea of "trying out" and "testing out" something. That is the concept of checking it to make sure it works as advertised.

ἐξενέγκατε  [1 verse](verb 2nd pl aor imperat act) "Bring forth" is ekphero, which means "carry out of", "carry away", and "bring forth". -- "Bring forth" is a Greek verb that Jesus only uses here and which means "carry out of", "carry away", and "bring forth".

ἐκριζώσητε [3 verses](verb 2nd pl fut ind act) "Ye root up" is ekrizoo, which means "root out." -- The word translated as "root up" is a word only found initially in the Septuagint.

ἐκτὸς [1 verse] (adv) "Outside" is the adverb ektos, which means "without", "outside,"with verbs of motion, "out," as a preposition, "out of", "far from", "beyond", "exempt from", "except", "without the consent of," as a noun, "external things", "strangers", "foreigners", "the vulgar," and "the common herd."  - "The outside" is from two Greek words like "that which is within" above. The first is the article, "the" and the second is the adverb that means "outside" and "without." Like the "within" above, this is from the same root words as the outside in the previous verse, but it is a different word. More interesting, this word has a number of special meanings when used as a noun as it is here. It means "external part," but it also means "outsider" and "the common people." This is likely why the word was changed here from the previous verse, since the word used previously does not have these meanings.
