565. aperchomai

Strong's Lexicon

aperchomai: To go away, depart, leave

Original Word: ἀπέρχομαι
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: aperchomai
Pronunciation: ä-pér-kho-mī
Phonetic Spelling: (ap-erkh'-om-ahee)
Definition: To go away, depart, leave
Meaning: I come or go away from, depart, return, arrive, go after, follow.

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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's H3318), meaning "to go out" or "to depart."

Usage: The Greek verb ἀπέρχομαι (aperchomai) is used in the New Testament to describe the action of departing or going away from a place or situation. It often implies a physical movement from one location to another but can also be used metaphorically to indicate a change in state or condition. The term is frequently used in the context of Jesus' movements, the departure of individuals from a scene, or the transition from one state of being to another.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, travel and movement were common due to trade, military campaigns, and religious pilgrimages. The concept of departing or going away was a familiar part of daily life. In the Jewish context, the idea of departing could also carry spiritual connotations, such as leaving behind old ways or moving towards a new understanding of faith. The use of ἀπέρχομαι in the New Testament reflects both the physical and spiritual journeys of individuals, particularly in the ministry of Jesus and the early church.

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).
