It implies a deliberate and forceful action of pushing aside or refusing to accept. This term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups reject divine messages, messengers, or truths.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the act of rejecting or thrusting away could have significant social and religious implications. Rejection of a message or a messenger could lead to social ostracism or conflict. In the context of early Christianity, rejection often came from both Jewish and Gentile communities who resisted the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Understanding this cultural backdrop helps illuminate the challenges faced by early Christians in spreading the Gospel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and ótheó (to thrust, push away)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to thrust away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pushed...away (1), rejected (3), repudiate (1), repudiated (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 683: ἀπωθέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπωθέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπώθω</span>: <span class="accented">to thrust away, push away, repel</span>; in the N.
