Instant
INSTANT.Instant and instantly are now used only of time. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] they have their earlier meaning of urgent, urgently, as in Luk 23:23 they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified; Luk 7:4 they besought him instantly (RV [Note: Revised Version.] earnestly). Cf. Erasmus, Paraphrase, i. 31, whoso knocketh at the doore instantly, to him it shal be opened.
