In the New Testament, it is used in the context of fishing, symbolizing the act of catching or drawing in.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions surrounding the Sea of Galilee. Fishhooks were essential tools for fishermen, crafted from materials like bone, bronze, or iron. Fishing was not only a means of sustenance but also a metaphor for spiritual truths, as seen in Jesus' call to His disciples to become "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/greek/43.htm">agkalé</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a fishhook<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hook (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 44: ἄγκιστρον</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἄγκιστρον</span></span>, , <span class="greek2">τό</span> (from an unused <span class="greek2">ἀγκίζω</span> to angle (see the preceding word)), <span class="accented">a fish-hook</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-27.htm">Matthew 17:27</a>.<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>hook. <p>From the same as <a href="/greek/43.htm">agkale</a>; a hook (as bent) -- hook. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/43.htm">agkale</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>αγκιστρον άγκιστρον άγκιστρόν ἄγκιστρον αγκίστρω αγκύλαι αγκύλας αγκυλών αγκύλων ankistron ánkistron<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/17-27.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 17:27</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun - Accusative Neuter Singular">N-ANS</a></b><br><a href="/interlinear/matthew/17.htm" title="Greek">GRK:</a> <span class="greek3">θάλασσαν βάλε <b>ἄγκιστρον</b> καὶ τὸν</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/matthew/17.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and throw <span class="itali">in a hook,</span> and take<br><a href="/kjvs/matthew/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> the sea, and cast <span class="itali">an hook,</span> and take up<br><a href="/interlinear/matthew/17-27.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> sea cast <span class="itali">a hook</span> and the<p><b><a href="/greek/44.htm">Strong's Greek 44</a><br><a href="/greek/strongs_44.htm">1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/greek/ankistron_44.htm">ἄγκιστρον — 1 Occ.</a><br><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/43.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="43"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="43" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/45.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="45"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="45" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
