It often implies a temporary departure with the intention of returning. This term is used in contexts where an individual leaves their home or familiar surroundings to journey elsewhere, often for a specific purpose or mission.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, travel was a significant undertaking, often involving long and arduous journeys. The concept of leaving one's home to travel to a distant land was familiar to the people of the time, whether for trade, military campaigns, or personal reasons. The use of ἀποδημέω in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of travel and departure.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/590.htm">apodémos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be or go abroad<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>go on a journey (1), went on a journey (4), went on his journey (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 589: ἀποδημέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποδημέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποδήμω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπεδήμησα</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἀπόδημος</span>, which see); <span class="accented">to go away to foreign parts, go abroad</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/25-14.htm">Matthew 25:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-1.htm">Mark 12:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/15-13.htm">Luke 15:13</a> (<span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">χώραν</span>); <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-9.htm">Luke 20:9</a>.
