It conveys the idea of being face-to-face or directly across from an object or person. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe physical locations or positions in relation to other objects or people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, spatial relationships were important for navigation, architecture, and social interactions. The use of prepositions like ἀπέναντι helped to clearly define these relationships. In biblical times, understanding one's position in relation to others was also significant for religious and social practices, such as temple worship and community gatherings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/1725.htm">enanti</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>over against, before<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>before (1), contrary (1), opposite (1), presence (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 561: ἀπέναντι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπέναντι</span></span>, adverb, with the genitive (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 819 (273)); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">over against, opposite</span>: <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">τάφου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/27-61.htm">Matthew 27:61</a>; (<span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">γαζοφυλακίου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-41.htm">Mark 12:41</a> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span> marginal reading). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">in sight of, before</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-2.htm">Matthew 21:2</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">G</span>; <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Matt 27:24> (here <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> text <span class="greek2">κατέναντι</span>); <a href="/interlinear/acts/3-16.htm">Acts 3:16</a>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/3-18.htm">Romans 3:18</a> (Ps. 35(36):<BIBLE/VERSE_ONLY:Ps 35:2>). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">in opposition to, against</span>: <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">δογμάτων</span> <span class="greek2">Καίσαρος</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/17-7.htm">Acts 17:7</a>.
