In the context of the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe actions or behaviors that are intended to elicit a response, much like music played on a flute would invite dancing or participation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek and Jewish cultures, the flute was a common musical instrument used in various settings, including celebrations, religious ceremonies, and funerals. Music played a significant role in both public and private life, often accompanying dances, feasts, and rituals. The metaphorical use of "playing the flute" in the New Testament reflects the cultural understanding of music as a means of communication and expression.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/836.htm">aulos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to play on a flute<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>played on the flute (1), played the flute (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 832: αὐλέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">αὐλέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀύλω</span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ηὔλησα</span>; (present passive participle <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">αὐλούμενον</span>); (<span class="greek2">αὐλός</span>); <span class="accented">to play on the flute, to pipe</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-17.htm">Matthew 11:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-32.htm">Luke 7:32</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/14-7.htm">1 Corinthians 14:7</a>.
