In a biblical context, it can metaphorically refer to the act of relieving oneself of burdens or responsibilities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of unloading was commonly associated with maritime activities, where ships would unload their cargo at ports. This imagery would have been familiar to the original audience of the New Testament, as trade and transportation by sea were integral to the economy and daily life. The metaphor of unloading burdens can also be seen in philosophical and religious contexts, where individuals seek relief from moral or spiritual burdens.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/5412.htm">phortizó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to discharge a cargo<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>unload (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 670: ἀποφορτίζομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποφορτίζομαι</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">φορτίζω</span> to load; <span class="greek2">φόρτος</span> a load), <span class="accented">to disburden oneself</span>; <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <span class="accented">to lay down a load, unlade, discharge</span>: <span class="greek2">τόν</span> <span class="greek2">γόμον</span>, of a ship, <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-3.htm">Acts 21:3</a>; cf.
