Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταγώ, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew verbs that convey the idea of bringing down or lowering. Some related Hebrew entries include:

- יָרַד (yarad, Strong's H3381): To go down, descend.
- נָחַת (nachat, Strong's H5187): To descend, bring down.

These Hebrew terms share thematic similarities with καταγώ, emphasizing the action of moving from a higher to a lower place, both physically and metaphorically, within the biblical narrative.

Usage: The verb καταγώ is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing or leading someone or something down from a higher place to a lower one. It can be used in both a literal and metaphorical sense.

Context: The Greek verb καταγώ (katagō) appears in the New Testament in contexts where individuals or objects are brought down from a higher position to a lower one. This action can be physical, such as leading someone down from a mountain or a ship, or metaphorical, involving a change in status or condition.

In the Berean Standard Bible, καταγώ is used in Acts 9:30: "When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus." Here, the term describes the physical act of bringing Paul down to the city of Caesarea as part of his journey.

The verb καταγώ is significant in understanding the movement and transitions of people and events in the New Testament narrative. It often implies a purposeful action, where the subject is intentionally brought to a new location or state. This can reflect divine guidance, human intervention, or a combination of both.

In a broader theological context, καταγώ can symbolize the humbling or lowering of individuals, aligning with the biblical theme of humility and submission to God's will. The act of being "brought down" can serve as a precursor to spiritual elevation or transformation, as seen in various biblical accounts.
