Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of being led away or carried off is paralleled in the Hebrew Scriptures, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence. However, similar ideas can be found in Hebrew words such as יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's 3318, "to go out" or "to lead out") and לָקַח (laqach, Strong's 3947, "to take" or "to carry away"). These terms are used in contexts of leading or taking individuals from one place to another, often under compulsion or authority.

Usage: The verb ἀπάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of leading someone away, often with the implication of being taken by force or under authority. It can refer to physical removal or a metaphorical leading away from truth or righteousness.

Context: The Greek verb ἀπάγω appears in several contexts within the New Testament, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. It is often employed in narratives where individuals are physically led away, such as in legal or authoritative contexts. For example, in Matthew 27:31, Jesus is led away to be crucified: "After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him."

The term also appears in contexts of spiritual or moral deviation. In 2 Peter 3:17, believers are warned not to be led away by the error of lawless men: "Therefore, beloved, since you already know these things, be on your guard so that you will not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure standing."

The use of ἀπάγω underscores the concept of being removed from a place of safety or truth, whether physically or spiritually. It highlights the influence of external forces or authorities in redirecting individuals from their intended path.
