It implies a form of communication that is more personal and interactive, often involving dialogue or discourse. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of speaking or conversing, often in a teaching or explanatory context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, conversation and dialogue were essential components of education and philosophical discourse. The practice of engaging in dialogue was a key method for teaching and learning, as seen in the works of philosophers like Socrates and Plato. In the Jewish context, rabbinic teaching often involved discussion and debate, reflecting a similar value placed on conversational learning.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from homilos (a crowd, throng)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to consort with, hence to converse with<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>converse (1), talked (1), talking (2).<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 3656: ὁμιλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὁμιλέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁμίλω</span>; imperfect <span class="greek2">ὡμίλουν</span>; 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">ὁμιλήσας</span>; (<span class="greek2">ὅμιλος</span>, which see); frequent in Greek writings from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down; <span class="accented">to be in company with; to associate with; to stay with; hence, to converse with, talk with</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <span class="accented">with one</span> (<a href="/interlinear/daniel/1-19.htm">Daniel 1:19</a>), <a href="/interlinear/acts/24-26.htm">Acts 24:26</a>; namely, <span class="greek2">αὐτοῖς</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-11.htm">Acts 20:11</a> (so <span class="abbreviation">A.
