In the New Testament, it is used to describe the act of consuming liquids, often in the context of meals or rituals. It can also imply the broader concept of partaking or sharing in a communal setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, drinking was a significant part of social and religious life. Meals often included wine, which was a staple in the Mediterranean diet. Drinking could symbolize fellowship and community, as shared meals were central to social and religious gatherings. In Jewish culture, wine was also used in religious ceremonies and was a symbol of joy and blessing.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4095.htm">pinó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a drinking, a drink<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drink (2), drinking (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 4213: πόσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πόσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ποσεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">πίνω</span>), from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down, <span class="accented">a drinking, drink</span>: <a href="/interlinear/john/6-55.htm">John 6:55</a>;
