Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A contraction of καί (kai, meaning "and") and ἐγώ (egō, meaning "I").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek compound "kagō," as it is a specific construction of Greek conjunction and pronoun. However, similar expressions of personal involvement or conjunction in Hebrew might involve the use of the conjunction ו (vav, meaning "and") combined with personal pronouns, though these are not direct lexical equivalents.

Usage: The word "kagō" is frequently used in the New Testament to indicate the speaker's inclusion or participation in an action or statement. It often appears in contexts where the speaker is aligning themselves with others or affirming their involvement.

Context: The Greek term καγώ (kagō) is a compound word that combines the conjunction "and" (καί) with the pronoun "I" (ἐγώ). This construction is used to emphasize the speaker's inclusion in a statement or action, often highlighting personal involvement or agreement. In the New Testament, "kagō" appears in various contexts, underscoring the speaker's unity with others or their participation in a shared experience.

For example, in Matthew 16:18, Jesus uses "kagō" to affirm His role in building the church: "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." Here, "kagō" emphasizes Jesus' active role and authority in the establishment of the church.

Similarly, in John 14:3, Jesus assures His disciples of His return: "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, you may be also." The use of "kagō" in this passage highlights Jesus' personal commitment to His followers.

The term is also used by the Apostle Paul in his epistles to express his shared experiences and responsibilities with other believers. In Galatians 2:20, Paul writes, "I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Here, "kagō" underscores Paul's identification with Christ's sacrifice and the transformative power of faith.

Overall, "kagō" serves as a linguistic tool to convey unity, shared purpose, and personal involvement in the narrative of the New Testament.
