Strong's Lexicon sunapagó: To lead away with, to carry away with, to be led astray Original Word: συναπάγω Word Origin: From the Greek words σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "sunapagó," the concept of being led astray can be found in Hebrew words like תָּעָה (ta'ah, Strong's H8582), which means to err or wander. Usage: The verb "sunapagó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of being led away or carried along with others, often in a negative sense of being led astray or influenced by false teachings or behaviors. It implies a movement or influence that causes someone to deviate from the correct path or belief. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being led or carried away was often associated with the influence of leaders, teachers, or prevailing cultural norms. The early Christian communities were frequently warned against being swayed by false doctrines or the pressures of surrounding pagan cultures. The use of "sunapagó" reflects the challenges faced by believers in maintaining their faith amidst external influences.
