It implies a sense of authority and urgency, often used in contexts where instructions are given that require immediate attention or action. This term is typically associated with authoritative figures such as military leaders, kings, or those in positions of governance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of authority and command was deeply ingrained in societal structures. Military and political leaders often issued commands that were expected to be followed without question. The use of "keleuó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding of authority and obedience. It underscores the hierarchical nature of ancient societies, where commands were a means of maintaining order and executing plans.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from kelomai (to urge on)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to command<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>command (2), commanded (4), gave orders (2), give orders (1), giving orders (1), order (2), ordered (12), ordering (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 2753: κελεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κελεύω</span></span>; imperfect <span class="greek2">ἐκέλευον</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐκέλευσα</span>; <span class="accented">to command, order</span>: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, followed by an aorist infinitive, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-19.htm">Matthew 14:19, 28</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/4-15.htm">Acts 4:15</a>; by the accusative with aorist infinitive, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/18-25.htm">Matthew 18:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-58.htm">Matthew 27:58</a> (<span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span>),64; <a href="/interlinear/luke/18-40.htm">Luke 18:40</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/5-34.htm">Acts 5:34</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-38.htm">Acts 8:38</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-30.htm">Acts 22:30</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-10.htm">Acts 23:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/25-6.htm">Acts 25:6, 17</a>; the accusative is lacking because evident from the context, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-18.htm">Matthew 8:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-9.htm">Matthew 14:9</a>; (xxvii. 58 <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> (<span class="manuref">Tr</span> in brackets)); <a href="/interlinear/acts/12-19.htm">Acts 12:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-33.htm">Acts 21:33</a>; followed by the accusative with present infinitive, <a href="/interlinear/acts/21-34.htm">Acts 21:34</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/22-24.htm">Acts 22:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-3.htm">Acts 23:3, 35</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/24-8.htm">Acts 24:8</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Acts 25:21; 27:43>; the accusative is lacking because easily discernible from the context, <a href="/interlinear/acts/16-22.htm">Acts 16:22</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 201 (174); <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 40, 3 d.); by a use not infrequent in <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, but somewhat rare in prose writing, with the dative of a person (<span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, rep. 3, p. 396 a.; <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> 1, 44; <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 19, 17; <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 20, 6, 2; Tobit 8:18; cf.
