It conveys the idea of leaving a port or harbor to embark on a journey across the sea. This term is often used in the context of travel and missionary journeys in the early Christian church.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the first century Mediterranean world, sailing was a common mode of transportation for long-distance travel. The Roman Empire's extensive network of sea routes facilitated trade, communication, and the spread of ideas, including the Christian gospel. Ships were essential for the missionary journeys of the apostles, as they traveled to spread the message of Christ across different regions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">ek</a> and <a href="/greek/4126.htm">pleó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to sail away<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>put out to sea (1), sailed (1), sailed away (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 1602: ἐκπλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐκπλέω</span></span>: (imperfect <span class="greek2">ἐξεπλεον</span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐξέπλευσα</span>; <span class="accented">to sail from sail away, depart by ship</span>: <span class="greek2">ἀπό</span> with the genitive of place, <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-6.htm">Acts 20:6</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> with the accusative of place, <a href="/interlinear/acts/15-39.htm">Acts 15:39</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/18-18.htm">Acts 18:18</a>.
