Berean Strong's Lexicon aperchomai: To go away, depart, leave Original Word: ἀπέρχομαι 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.
