It often refers to the geographical regions that are in close proximity to a central place, such as a city or a significant landmark. The word emphasizes the idea of being nearby or in the vicinity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, "perichóros" is used to describe the areas surrounding key locations in the ministry of Jesus and the early church. During the time of Jesus, regions were often defined by their proximity to major cities or landmarks. The term reflects the interconnectedness of communities and the spread of news and influence from central locations to outlying areas. Understanding the geographical context of "perichóros" helps in comprehending the movement and impact of Jesus' ministry and the early Christian message.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4012.htm">peri</a> and <a href="/greek/5561.htm">chóra</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>neighboring<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>country (1), district around (2), surrounding district (6), surrounding region (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 4066: περίχωρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">περίχωρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">περίχωρον</span> (<span class="greek2">περί</span> and <span class="greek2">χῶρος</span>), <span class="accented">lying round about, neighboring</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aelian</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Dio Cassius</span>); in the Scriptures <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">περίχωρος</span>, namely, <span class="greek2">γῆ</span>, <span class="accented">the region round about</span> (which see in <span class="abbreviation">B.
