It can denote a physical meeting or a more metaphorical encounter, such as meeting a challenge or situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meeting someone often involved formalities and was an important aspect of social interaction. The act of going out to meet someone could signify respect, anticipation, or readiness to engage. In the context of the New Testament, such meetings often carried significant theological implications, such as the meeting of Jesus with individuals or groups that led to transformative encounters.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/5259.htm">hupo</a> and antaó (to meet face to face, meet with)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go to meet, to meet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>encounter (1), met (7), went and met (1), went to meet (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 5221: ὑπαντάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπαντάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑπάντω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ὑπήντησα</span>; <span class="accented">to go to meet, to meet</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-28.htm">Matthew 8:28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-27.htm">Luke 8:27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/11-20.htm">John 11:20, 30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/12-18.htm">John 12:18</a>; also <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> in <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-2.htm">Mark 5:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/4-51.htm">John 4:51</a>; and <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> in <a href="/interlinear/matthew/28-9.htm">Matthew 28:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-16.htm">Acts 16:16</a>; (and <span class="manuref">T</span> in <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-12.htm">Luke 17:12</a> (so <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading but without the dative)); in a military reference, of a hostile meeting: <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-31.htm">Luke 14:31</a> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>.
