δεσμεύουσιν [1 verse] (verb 3rd pl pres ind act) "They bind" is from desmeuo, which means "fetter," "put in chains," "tie together," "to lay snares for," and "bind fast to."  - "Bind" is from a Greek word that means "to fetter," "to put in chains," "to tie together," and "to lay snares for."  Jesus only uses it once. It is not the common word translated as "bind" and used by Jesus ten times.
