Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From σύν (syn, "with, together") and ἄγω (agō, "to lead, bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συναπάγω, the concept of being led astray or influenced by others can be found in various Hebrew terms related to leading or guiding, such as נָחָה (nachah, Strong's 5148) meaning "to lead" or "to guide," and תָּעָה (ta'ah, Strong's 8582) meaning "to err" or "to wander." These terms similarly convey the idea of being led away from a correct path, whether physically, morally, or spiritually.

Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being led away or carried along with others, often in a negative sense, such as being led astray by false teachings or influences.

Context: The Greek verb συναπάγω (synapágō) appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the influence of external forces or individuals leading someone away from the truth or from a proper path. It is a compound word, combining the preposition σύν (syn), meaning "with" or "together," and the verb ἄγω (agō), meaning "to lead" or "to bring." This construction highlights the idea of being led along with others, often implying a passive or unwitting participation in the action.

In the Berean Standard Bible, συναπάγω is notably used in Galatians 2:13: "The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray." Here, the term describes how Barnabas, a respected leader in the early church, was influenced by the actions of others, leading him to act contrary to the truth of the Gospel. This usage underscores the potential for even strong believers to be swayed by peer pressure or prevailing cultural norms, highlighting the importance of discernment and steadfastness in faith.

The concept of being led astray is a recurring theme in the New Testament, often associated with false teachings, deceptive practices, or moral compromise. The use of συναπάγω in this context serves as a warning to believers to remain vigilant and grounded in their faith, resisting the temptation to conform to erroneous beliefs or behaviors.
