Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Press thee and crush thee (sunexousin se kai apoqlibousin). Hold thee together, hold thee in (sunexw, see verse Luke 8:37).
Crush thee (apoqlibw) here only in the N.T., a verb used of pressing out grapes in Diodorus and Josephus. Mark 5:31 has sunqlibw, to press together.
