Strong's Lexicon apokrisis: Answer, response Original Word: ἀπόκρισις Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai), meaning "to answer" or "to respond." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "apokrisis," the concept of answering or responding is found in Hebrew words like עָנָה (anah), which means "to answer" or "to respond." Usage: The term "apokrisis" refers to an answer or a response, often in the context of a formal reply or a reasoned answer to a question or situation. It is used in the New Testament to denote a thoughtful or deliberate response, typically in a dialogue or debate setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, dialogue and debate were common practices in both public and private settings. The ability to give a well-reasoned "apokrisis" was highly valued, especially among philosophers, teachers, and leaders. This cultural emphasis on dialogue is reflected in the New Testament, where Jesus and the apostles often engage in discussions that require thoughtful responses.
