Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From ἀπό (apo, meaning "from" or "away") and δοκιμάζω (dokimazō, meaning "to test" or "to approve").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of rejection in the Hebrew Scriptures is often conveyed through words such as מָאַס (ma'as, Strong's Hebrew 3988), meaning "to reject" or "to despise," and נָטַשׁ (natash, Strong's Hebrew 5203), meaning "to forsake" or "to abandon." These terms similarly reflect the theme of rejection by God or by people, often in the context of covenant unfaithfulness or disobedience.

Usage: The term ἀποδοκιμάζω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of rejecting or disapproving something or someone after evaluation. It often carries the connotation of a deliberate and conscious decision to reject.

Context: The Greek verb ἀποδοκιμάζω appears in several key New Testament passages, often in the context of rejection by those in authority or by the people. It is used to describe the rejection of Jesus Christ by the religious leaders and the people of Israel, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποδοκιμάζω is notably used in the following passages:

Mark 8:31: "He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again."
Luke 9:22: "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life."
1 Peter 2:4: "As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight."

These passages emphasize the theme of rejection that Jesus faced during His earthly ministry, underscoring the contrast between human rejection and divine approval. The rejection by the religious leaders is portrayed as a fulfillment of the prophetic scriptures, which foretold the Messiah's suffering and rejection.

Theologically, ἀποδοκιμάζω serves as a reminder of the cost of discipleship and the reality of opposition faced by those who follow Christ. It also highlights the sovereignty of God in using human rejection to accomplish His redemptive purposes.
