Usage: The verb ὑποστρέφω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of returning or going back. It is often used in the context of individuals returning to a place they previously were, or metaphorically, to a previous state of mind or condition. Context: The Greek verb ὑποστρέφω appears frequently in the New Testament, primarily in the Gospels and Acts. It is used to describe both physical and metaphorical returns. For instance, in Luke 2:20, the shepherds "returned" (ὑποστρέφω) glorifying and praising God after visiting the newborn Jesus: "The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them." This usage highlights a physical return to their fields, accompanied by a spiritual transformation.
