It implies a sudden and decisive action, often used in contexts where a group or crowd is involved in the act of seizing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of seizing or snatching was often associated with both physical and metaphorical actions. It could refer to the physical act of capturing or taking hold of something, as well as the metaphorical idea of being overtaken by emotions or circumstances. The use of "sunarpazo" in the New Testament reflects the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous nature of early Christian experiences, where believers often faced sudden and forceful opposition.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4862.htm">sun</a> and <a href="/greek/726.htm">harpazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to seize and carry away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>caught (1), dragged...away (1), dragging along (1), seized (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 4884: συναρπάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">συναρπάζω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">συνήρπασα</span>; pluperfect <span class="greek2">συνηρπάκειν</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">συνηρπασθην</span>; <span class="accented">to seize by force</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/6-12.htm">Acts 6:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/19-29.htm">Acts 19:29</a>; <span class="accented">to catch or lay hold of</span> (one, so that he is no longer his own master), <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-29.htm">Luke 8:29</a>; <span class="accented">to seize by force and carry away,</span> <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-15.htm">Acts 27:15</a>.
