STRONGS NT 565: ἀπέρχομαι

ἀπέρχομαι; future ἀπελεύσομαι (Matthew 25:46; Romans 15:28; Winer's Grammar, 86 (82)); 2 aorist ἀπῆλθον (ἀπῆλθα in Revelation 10:9 (where R G Tr ἀπῆλθον), ἀπῆλθαν L T Tr WH in Matthew 22:22; Revelation 21:1, 4 ((but here WH text only), etc., and WH in Luke 24:24); cf. Winers Grammar, § 13, 1; Mullach, p. 17f. (226); Buttmann, 39 (34); (Sophocles Lexicon, p. 38; Tdf. Proleg., p. 123; WHs Appendix, p. 164f; Kuenen and Cobet, N. T., p. lxiv.; Scrivener, Introduction, p. 562; Collation, etc., p. liv. following )); perfect ἀπεληλυθα (James 1:24); pluperfect ἀπεληλύθειν (John 4:8); (from Homer down); to go away (from a place), to depart;

1. properly,

a. absolutely: Matthew 13:25; Matthew 19:22; Mark 5:20; Luke 8:39; Luke 17:23; John 16:7, etc. Participle ἀπελθών with indicative or subjunctive of other verbs in past time to go (away) and etc.: Matthew 13:28, 46; Matthew 18:30; Matthew 25:18, 25; Matthew 26:36; Matthew 27:5; Mark 6:27 (), ; Luke 5:14.

b. with specification of the place into which, or of the person to whom or from whom one departs: εἰς with the accusative of place, Matthew 5:30 L T Tr WH; ; Mark 6:36; Mark 9:43; John 4:8; Romans 15:28, etc.; εἰς ὁδόν ἐθνῶν, Matthew 10:5; εἰς τό πέραν, Matthew 8:18; Mark 8:13; (δἰ ὑμῶν ... εἰς Μακεδονίαν, 2 Corinthians 1:16, Lachmann text); ἐπί with the accusative of place, Luke (Luke 23:33 R G T); ; ἐπί with the accusative of the business which one goes to attend to: ἐπί (the true reading for R G εἰς) τήν ἐμπορίαν αὐτοῦ, Matthew 22:5; ἐκεῖ, Matthew 2:22; ἔξω with the genitive, Acts 4:15; πρός τινα, Matthew 14:25 (Rec.); Revelation 10:9; ἀπό τίνος, Luke 1:38; Luke 8:37. Hebraistically (cf. אַחֲרֵי הָלַך) ἀπέρχεσθαι ὀπίσω τίνος, to go away in order to follow anyone, go after him figuratively, i. e. to follow his party, follow him as a leader: Mark 1:20; John 12:19; in the same sense, ἀπέρχεσθαι πρός τινα, John 6:68; Xenophon, an. 1, 9, 16 (29); used also of those who seek anyone for vile purposes, Jude 1:7. Lexicographers (following Suidas, 'ἀπέλθῃ. ἀντί τοῦ ἐπανελθη') incorrectly ascribe to ἀπέρχεσθαι also the idea of returning, going back — misled by the fact that a going away is often at the same time a going back. But where this is the case, it is made evident either by the connection, as in Luke 7:24, or by some adjunct, as εἰς τόν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, Matthew 9:7; Mark 7:30 (οἴκαδε, Xenophon, Cyril 1, 3, 6); πρός ἑαυτόν (Treg. πρός αὐτόν) home, Luke 24:12 (R G, but L Tr brackets T WH reject the verse); John 20:10 (here T Tr πρός αὐτούς, WH πρός αὐτόν (see αὑτοῦ)); εἰς τά ὀπίσω, John 6:66 (to return home); John 18:6 (to draw back, retreat).

2. tropically: of departing evils and sufferings, Mark 1:42; Luke 5:13 (ἡ λέπρα ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ); Revelation 9:12; Revelation 11:14; of good things taken away from one, Revelation 18:14 (R G); of an evanescent state of things, Revelation 21:1 (Rec. παρῆλθε), 4; of a report going forth or spread εἰς, Matthew 4:24 (Treg. marginal reading ἐξῆλθεν).

Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and the verb ἔρχομαι (erchomai, meaning "to come" or "to go").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀπέρχομαι, similar concepts of departure or going away can be found in Hebrew verbs such as יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's 3318, meaning "to go out" or "to come out") and הָלַךְ (halak, Strong's 1980, meaning "to walk" or "to go"). These Hebrew terms are used in the Old Testament to describe physical movement and spiritual journeys, paralleling the Greek concept of departure.

Usage: This verb is used in the New Testament to describe physical departure from a location, as well as metaphorical or spiritual departure. It appears in various contexts, including Jesus' movements, the actions of His disciples, and parables.

Context: • Occurrences in the New Testament: The verb ἀπέρχομαι appears numerous times in the New Testament, often in the context of Jesus and His disciples moving from one place to another. It is used to describe both literal and figurative departures.
• Examples of Usage:
• In Matthew 4:12, it is used to describe Jesus' departure to Galilee: "When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee."
• In Matthew 19:22, it describes the rich young ruler's departure after speaking with Jesus: "When the young man heard this, he went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth."
• In John 6:66, it is used to describe the departure of many disciples: "From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him."
• Theological Implications: The use of ἀπέρχομαι can highlight themes of separation, decision-making, and the consequences of following or rejecting Jesus. It often marks a turning point in narratives, emphasizing the choice to follow Christ or to depart from His teachings.
• Cultural Context: In the Greco-Roman world, travel and movement were common, and the concept of departure would have been familiar to the original audience. The term can also imply a change in status or relationship, reflecting the broader social and spiritual implications of leaving or departing.
