It can refer to both physical meetings and metaphorical encounters. In the New Testament, it is used to describe significant meetings, such as those with Jesus or other key figures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meeting someone often involved formalities and was an important social interaction. The act of going out to meet someone could signify respect, anticipation, or the importance of the encounter. This cultural context adds depth to the biblical narratives where ἀπαντάω is used, highlighting the significance of the meetings described.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and antaó (to come opposite to, meet face to face)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to meet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>meet (1), met (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 528: ἀπαντάω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπαντάω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀπάντω</span>: future <span class="greek2">ἀπαντήσω</span> (<a href="/interlinear/mark/14-13.htm">Mark 14:13</a>; but in better Greek <span class="greek2">ἀπαντήσομαι</span>, cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 83 (79); (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 53 (46))); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπήντησα</span>; <span class="accented">to go to meet</span>; in past tenses, <span class="accented">to meet</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/28-9.htm">Matthew 28:9</a> (<span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">ὑπαντάω</span>); <a href="/interlinear/mark/5-2.htm">Mark 5:2</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Mark 14:13>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-12.htm">Luke 17:12</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit; <span class="manuref">Tr</span> brackets dative; <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading read <span class="greek2">ὑπαντάω</span>); <a href="/interlinear/john/4-51.htm">John 4:51</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-16.htm">Acts 16:16</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span>).
