It is often used in the context of embarking on a journey, particularly by stepping onto a ship or boat. The term can also imply taking possession or control, as one might step onto land to claim it.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, travel by sea was a common mode of transportation, especially for long distances. The act of stepping onto a ship (ἐπιβαίνω) was a significant action, marking the beginning of a journey. This term would have been familiar to early Christians, many of whom lived in coastal regions and were accustomed to maritime travel. Additionally, the concept of embarking on a journey can be metaphorically applied to spiritual journeys or missions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and the same as <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go aboard, to go up to<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>arrived (1), embarking (1), mounted (1), set foot (2), went aboard (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 1910: ἐπιβαίνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιβαίνω</span></span>; 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐπέβην</span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">ἐπιβεβηκώς</span>; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">to get upon, mount</span>: ;<span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-5.htm">Matthew 21:5</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, Hell. 3, 4, 1, etc.; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/24-61.htm">Genesis 24:61</a>); <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">πλοίῳ</span> (<span class="accented">to embark in</span>), <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-2.htm">Acts 27:2</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 7, 70); <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πλοῖον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-6.htm">Acts 21:6</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; used without a case, of <span class="accented">going aboard</span> (a ship), <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-2.htm">Acts 21:2</a>; <span class="accented">to go up</span>: <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">ἱεροσολυμα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-4.htm">Acts 21:4</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (yet others refer this to 2). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">to set foot in, enter</span>: <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> with the accusative of place, <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-18.htm">Acts 20:18</a>; with the dative of place (as also in Greek writings), <a href="/interlinear/acts/25-1.htm">Acts 25:1</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>come into, enter into, go abroad, sit upon, take ship. <p>From <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and the base of <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a>; to walk upon, i.e. Mount, ascend, embark, arrive -- come (into), enter into, go abroad, sit upon, take ship. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/939.htm">basis</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>επέβαινες επέβη επέβημεν επεβην επέβην ἐπέβην επέβης επέβησαν επέβητέ επιβαίνει επιβαινειν επιβαίνειν ἐπιβαίνειν επιβαίνοντες επιβαίνουσιν επιβαίνω επιβαίνων επιβαντες επιβάντες ἐπιβάντες επιβας επιβάς ἐπιβὰς επιβεβήκει επιβεβηκότες επιβεβηκότι επιβεβηκυία επιβεβηκυίης επιβεβηκως επιβεβηκώς ἐπιβεβηκὼς επιβή επίβηθι επιβήναι επιβήσεται επιβήση επιβήσομαι επιβήσονται επιβήτε επίβητε επιβώ epeben epebēn epében epébēn epibainein epibaínein epibantes epibántes epibas epibàs epibebekos epibebekṑs epibebēkōs epibebēkṑs<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/21-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 21:5</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
