It implies a dialogue or exchange where one party responds to another, sometimes with a sense of opposition or rebuttal.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, dialogue and debate were common in both religious and philosophical settings. The use of ἀνταποκρίνομαι reflects the interactive nature of teaching and discourse in the ancient world, where questions and answers were a primary method of instruction and clarification. This term would have been understood in the context of rabbinic debates, Greco-Roman rhetorical practices, and everyday conversations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/473.htm">anti</a> and <a href="/greek/611.htm">apokrinomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to answer again<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>answers back (1), make...reply (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 470: ἀνταποκρίνομαι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀνταποκρίνομαι</span></span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">ἀνταπεκριθην</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀποκρίνω</span></span>, ii.); <span class="accented">to contradict in reply, to answer by contradicting, reply against</span>: <span class="greek2">τίνι</span> <span class="greek2">πρός</span> <span class="greek2">τί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-6.htm">Luke 14:6</a>; (the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/judges/5-29.htm">Judges 5:29</a> (<span class="manuref">Alex.</span>); <a href="/interlinear/job/16-8.htm">Job 16:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/32-12.htm">Job 32:12</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Aesop</span> fab. 172 edition de Furia (p. 353, Coray edition)).
