It often conveys a sense of subordination or being subject to another entity or force. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical locations as well as metaphorical states of being under authority or dominion.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being "under" something often implied a hierarchical structure, whether in terms of social status, authority, or physical space. The use of ὑποκάτω in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, emphasizing the order and structure within creation and society. The term would have resonated with early Christian audiences familiar with the Roman Empire's strict social hierarchies and the Jewish understanding of divine order.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5259.htm">hupo</a> and <a href="/greek/2736.htm">kató</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>below, under<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>beneath (2), soles (1), under (7), underneath (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 5270: ὑποκάτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑποκάτω</span></span>, <span class="accented">under, underneath</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνος</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 54, 6; <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 146, 1), <a href="/interlinear/matthew/22-44.htm">Matthew 22:44</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-11.htm">Mark 6:11</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-28.htm">Mark 7:28</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/mark/12-36.htm">Mark 12:36</a> <span class="manuref">WH</span>); <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-16.htm">Luke 8:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/1-50.htm">John 1:50</a> (<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:John 1:51>); <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/2-8.htm">Hebrews 2:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/5-3.htm">Revelation 5:3, 13</a> (<span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading brackets the clause); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Revelation 6:9; 12:1>.
