Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4942: συνυποκρίνομαισυνυποκρίνομαι: 1 aorist passive, συνυπεκριθην, with the force of the middle (cf. Buttmann, 52 (45)); to dissemble with: τίνι, one, Galatians 2:13. (Polybius 3, 92, 5 and often; see Schweighaeuser, Lex. Polybius, p. 604; Plutarch, Marius, 14, 17.) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the preposition σύν (sun, meaning "with" or "together") and the verb ὑποκρίνομαι (hupokrinomai, meaning "to pretend" or "to act hypocritically").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for συνυποκρίνομαι, as it is a concept more explicitly articulated in the Greek New Testament context. However, the idea of hypocrisy is addressed in the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with terms like חָנֵף (chaneph, Strong's H2611), meaning "hypocrite" or "godless," which conveys a similar sense of moral or religious pretense. Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe the act of joining others in hypocrisy, particularly in the context of religious or moral pretense. Context: The term συνυποκρίνομαι appears in the New Testament in Galatians 2:13. In this passage, the Apostle Paul recounts an incident in Antioch where certain Jewish Christians, including the Apostle Peter, withdrew from eating with Gentile believers due to pressure from the circumcision group. Paul describes how even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. The use of συνυποκρίνομαι highlights the collective nature of their pretense, as they acted in a way that was inconsistent with the truth of the gospel, which teaches that there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile in Christ. This incident underscores the importance of living in accordance with the gospel's truth and avoiding actions that contradict its message of unity and equality among believers.
