It can be used both in a literal sense, such as lowering a physical object, and in a metaphorical sense, such as bringing down a person in status or position.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "bringing down" could have various implications, from the literal act of lowering something to the more abstract idea of humbling or demoting someone. The term reflects a hierarchical view of the world, where positions and statuses were often seen in terms of higher and lower.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/71.htm">agó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bring down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bring...down (3), brought (1), brought...down (3), put (2).<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 2609: κατάγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κατάγω</span></span>: 2 aorist <span class="greek2">κατήγαγον</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">κατήχθην</span>; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">הורִיד</span>, to make to descend; <span class="accented">to lead down, bring down</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-30.htm">Acts 22:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/10-6.htm">Romans 10:6</a>; <span class="greek2">τινα</span> followed by <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> with the accusative of place, <a href="/interlinear/acts/9-30.htm">Acts 9:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/23.htm">Acts 23</a>: (15 <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span>), 20,28; <span class="greek2">τινα</span> followed by <span class="greek2">πρός</span> with the accusative of person, <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-15.htm">Acts 23:15</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>); <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πλοῖον</span> <span class="greek2">ἐπί</span> <span class="greek2">τήν</span> <span class="greek2">γῆν</span> <span class="accented">to bring the vessel (down from deep water) to the land,</span> <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-11.htm">Luke 5:11</a>; <span class="greek2">κατάγεσθαι</span>, to be brought (down) in a ship, to land, touch at: followed by <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> with the accusative of place, <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-3.htm">Acts 21:3</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">κατήλθομεν</span>); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Acts 27:3; 28:12>; often so in Greek writings.<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>bring down<p>From <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/71.htm">ago</a>; to lead down; specially, to moor a vessel -- bring (down, forth), (bring to) land, touch. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/71.htm">ago</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>κατάγαγε καταγαγειν καταγαγείν καταγαγεῖν καταγάγετε καταγαγέτω καταγαγέτωσαν καταγαγη καταγάγῃ καταγαγης καταγάγης καταγάγῃς καταγαγοντες καταγαγόντες καταγαγων καταγαγών καταγαγὼν κατάγει καταγομένω κατάγουσαι κατάγουσι κατάξει κατάξεις κατάξετέ κατάξουσιν κατάξω καταχθείησαν καταχθεντες καταχθέντες κατήγαγεν κατήγαγες κατήγαγές κατηγαγον κατήγαγον κατηχθημεν κατήχθημεν katachthentes katachthéntes katagage katagagē katagágei katagágēi katagagein katagageîn katagágeis katagágēis katagages katagagēs katagagon katagagōn katagagṑn katagagontes katagagóntes katechthemen katēchthēmen katḗchthemen katḗchthēmen kategagon katēgagon katḗgagon<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/luke/5-11.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Luke 5:11</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
