It often conveys the idea of encountering or being overtaken by circumstances, whether positive or negative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "falling into" something could imply a sudden or unexpected change in circumstances. This could be used in both literal and metaphorical senses, such as falling into a pit or falling into temptation. The New Testament writers, influenced by both Jewish and Hellenistic thought, used this term to describe spiritual and moral conditions as well as physical events.<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/4098.htm">piptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to fall into<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fall (5), falls (1), fell (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 1706: ἐμπίπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐμπίπτω</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἐν</span></span>, III. 3); future <span class="greek2">ἐμπεσοῦμαι</span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐνέπεσον</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <span class="accented">to fall into</span>: <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">βόθυνον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-11.htm">Matthew 12:11</a>, and <span class="manuref">L</span> text <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> in <a href="/interlinear/luke/6-39.htm">Luke 6:39</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">φρέαρ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-5.htm">Luke 14:5</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>); to fall among robbers, <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">λῃστάς</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/10-36.htm">Luke 10:36</a>, and in metaphorical phrases, <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/3-6.htm">1 Timothy 3:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_timothy/6-9.htm">1 Timothy 6:9</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">χεῖρας</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span>, into one's power: <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span>, to incur divine penalties, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/10-31.htm">Hebrews 10:31</a>, as in <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/24-14.htm">2 Samuel 24:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/21-13.htm">1 Chronicles 21:13</a>; Sir. 2:18.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>fall into. <p>From <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> and <a href="/greek/4098.htm">pipto</a>; to fall on, i.e. (literally) to be entrapped by, or (figuratively) be overwhelmed with -- fall among (into). <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1722.htm">en</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/4098.htm">pipto</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>εμπεπτωκότας εμπεσειν εμπεσείν ἐμπεσεῖν εμπεσείται εμπεση εμπεσή εμπέση ἐμπέσῃ εμπεσοντος εμπεσόντος ἐμπεσόντος εμπεσούμαι εμπεσουνται ἐμπεσοῦνται εμπέσω εμπέσωμεν εμπίπτει εμπιπτουσιν εμπίπτουσιν ἐμπίπτουσιν εμπιστευθήσεσθε εμπιστεύσατε εμπλατύνει εμπλατύνη εμπλάτυνον εμπλατύνω εμπλατύνων εμπλατύνωσι ενέπεσαν ενέπεσεν ενέπεσον ενεπιστεύσατε empese empesē empései empésēi empesein empeseîn empesontos empesóntos empesountai empesoûntai empiptousin empíptousin<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/12-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 12:11</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Aorist Subjunctive Active - 3rd Person Singular">V-ASA-3S</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/matthew/12.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">καὶ ἐὰν <b>ἐμπέσῃ</b> τοῦτο τοῖς</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/matthew/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and if <span class="itali">it falls</span> into a pit<br><a href="/kjvs/matthew/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> if it <span class="itali">fall</span> into a pit<br><a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-11.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and if <span class="itali">fall</span> this on the<p><b><a href="/text/luke/6-39.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Luke 6:39</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb - Future Indicative Middle - 3rd Person Plural">V-FIM-3P</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/luke/6.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">εἰς βόθυνον <b>ἐμπεσοῦνται</b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/luke/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> can he?
