It is often used in the New Testament to call individuals to follow, gather, or pay attention to a significant message or event. The term carries a sense of urgency and importance, often used by Jesus to invite His disciples or listeners to partake in His teachings or actions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "deute" reflects the rabbinic tradition of calling disciples to follow a teacher. This was a common practice in Jewish culture, where rabbis would gather students to impart wisdom and instruction. Jesus' use of "deute" aligns with this tradition, emphasizing His role as a teacher and leader, calling His followers to a new way of life and understanding of God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>pl. of <a href="/greek/1204.htm">deuro</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>come!<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>come (9), come away (1), follow* (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 1205: δεῦτε</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">δεῦτε</span></span>, adverb, used when two or more are addressed (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 70 (61)); perhaps from <span class="greek2">δευῥ</span> <span class="greek2">ἰτε</span> (yet see Alexander <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span> (1873) Gram. 21te Aufl. § 115 Anm. 8), see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δεῦρο</span></span>, 1; <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">come hither, come here, come</span>: followed by an imperative, <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span>, <span class="greek2">κληρονομήσατε</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/25-34.htm">Matthew 25:34</a>; <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span>, <span class="greek2">ἴδετε</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/28-6.htm">Matthew 28:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/4-29.htm">John 4:29</a>; <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀριστήσατε</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/21-12.htm">John 21:12</a>; <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span>, <span class="greek2">συνάχθητε</span> (<span class="manuref">Rec.</span> <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span> <span class="greek2">καί</span> <span class="greek2">συνάγεσθε</span>), <a href="/interlinear/revelation/19-17.htm">Revelation 19:17</a>. <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span> <span class="greek2">ἀπίσω</span> <span class="greek2">μου</span> <span class="accented">come after me,</span> be my disciples: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/4-19.htm">Matthew 4:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/1-17.htm">Mark 1:17</a> (equivalent to <span class="hebrew">אַחֲרַי</span> <span class="hebrew">לְכוּ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/6-19.htm">2 Kings 6:19</a>); <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span> <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">τούς</span> <span class="greek2">γάμους</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/22-4.htm">Matthew 22:4</a>; <span class="greek2">εἰς</span> <span class="greek2">ἔρημον</span> <span class="greek2">τόπον</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-31.htm">Mark 6:31</a>; <span class="greek2">δεῦτε</span> <span class="greek2">πρός</span> <span class="greek2">με</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> It gets the force of an interjection, "Come!
