In the New Testament, it is often associated with a place of gathering, prayer, and significant events in the early Christian community.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman architecture, houses often had an upper room or a second account that was used for various purposes, including storage, living space, or gatherings. These rooms were typically accessed by an external staircase and provided a private and secluded area for meetings. In the context of the New Testament, the upper room holds particular significance as a place of fellowship and divine encounter.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>neut. of huperóos (upper)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the upper story, the upper rooms<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>upper room (4).<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 5253: ὑπεροων</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ὑπεροων</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὑπεροωυ</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (from <span class="greek2">ὑπεροως</span> or <span class="greek2">ὑπερωιος</span>, 'upper,' and this from <span class="greek2">ὑπέρ</span>; like <span class="greek2">πατρωιος</span>, <span class="greek2">πατροως</span>, from <span class="greek2">πατήρ</span>; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 96 (91))), in the Greek writings (often in <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>) <span class="accented">the highest part of the house, the upper rooms or story where the women resided</span>; in Biblical Greek (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">עֲלִיָּה</span>), <span class="accented">a room in the upper part of a house,</span> sometimes built upon the flat roof of the house (<a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-12.htm">2 Kings 23:12</a>), whither Orientals were accustomed to retire in order to sup, meditate, pray, etc.; (<span class="abbreviation">R.
