Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπανάγω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words related to leading or bringing up, such as:
• Strong's Hebrew 5927 (עָלָה, 'alah): To go up, ascend, or climb.
• Strong's Hebrew 3318 (יָצָא, yatsa'): To go out, come out, or proceed.

These Hebrew terms, like ἐπανάγω, often carry the connotation of movement or transition to a higher or more advanced state, whether physically, spiritually, or metaphorically.

Usage: The term ἐπανάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of launching out into deeper waters, often in the context of a nautical setting. It can also imply leading or bringing something to a higher place or state.

Context: The Greek verb ἐπανάγω appears in the New Testament primarily in the context of maritime activities. It is used to describe the action of launching a boat into deeper waters. This term is notably found in the Gospel of Luke, where it is used in the account of Jesus instructing Simon Peter to "launch out into the deep" for a catch of fish. The passage highlights the obedience and faith of Peter, who, despite his initial skepticism due to an unsuccessful night of fishing, follows Jesus' command and witnesses a miraculous catch.

Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB):
• Luke 5:4: "When Jesus had finished speaking, He said to Simon, 'Put out into deep water and let down your nets for a catch.'"

In this context, ἐπανάγω signifies not only a physical action but also a spiritual lesson on trust and divine provision. The act of launching into the deep symbolizes stepping out in faith, trusting in Jesus' word even when circumstances seem unfavorable.

The term can also be understood metaphorically, representing the idea of advancing or progressing to a higher level of understanding or experience, particularly in one's spiritual journey.
