Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 495: ἀντιπέρανἀντιπέραν, or (according to the later forms from Polybius down) ἀντιπέρα (T WH), ἀντιπέρα (L Tr; cf. Buttmann, 321; Lob. Path. Elem. 2:206; Chandler § 867), adverb of place, over against, on the opposite shore, on the other side, with a genitive: Luke 8:26. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀντί (anti, meaning "opposite" or "against") and πέρα (pera, meaning "beyond" or "across").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντίπερα, similar concepts of geographical opposition or being "across" can be found in Hebrew terms such as עֵבֶר (eber, Strong's Hebrew 5676), which means "beyond" or "across." This term is used in the Old Testament to describe locations across a river or boundary, similar to the way ἀντίπερα is used in the New Testament to describe locations across a body of water. Usage: This word is used in the New Testament to describe a location that is directly across from another point, often used in geographical contexts to indicate a place situated on the opposite side of a body of water or land. Context: The Greek word ἀντίπερα appears in the New Testament in contexts where geographical orientation is important. It is used to describe locations that are directly opposite or across from a particular point of reference. This term is found in the Gospel of Luke, specifically in Luke 8:26, where it describes the region of the Gerasenes as being "opposite Galilee." The use of ἀντίπερα in this context helps to provide a clear geographical understanding of the narrative, indicating that Jesus and His disciples traveled across the Sea of Galilee to reach the region of the Gerasenes. The term emphasizes the physical separation and the journey required to reach the destination, highlighting the deliberate movement of Jesus to a place that was culturally and religiously distinct from Galilee.
