In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to the act of dipping a morsel of bread into a dish, as seen in the Last Supper narrative. The term conveys a sense of complete immersion or submersion, which is significant in understanding the cultural practices of the time.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern and Greco-Roman world, communal meals often involved dipping bread or other food items into shared dishes. This practice was not only a practical way to eat but also a symbol of fellowship and unity among those partaking in the meal. The act of dipping, as described by "embaptó," would have been a familiar and meaningful gesture to the original audience of the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/911.htm">baptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to dip in<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dipped (1), dips (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1686: ἐμβάπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐμβάπτω</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3): 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">ἐμβάψας</span>; <span class="accented">to dip in</span>: <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/13-26.htm">John 13:26</a>a Lachmann, 26b <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> text; <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">χεῖρα</span> <span class="greek2">ἐν</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">τρυβλίῳ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/26-23.htm">Matthew 26:23</a>; middle <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">ἐμβαπτόμενος</span> <span class="greek2">μετ'</span> <span class="greek2">ἐμοῦ</span> (Lachmann adds <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">χεῖρα</span>) <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="manuref">WH</span> add <span class="greek2">ἕν</span> in brackets) <span class="greek2">τρύβλιον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-20.htm">Mark 14:20</a>.
