It emphasizes the inclusion of two distinct entities as a single unit or group. This term is often used in contexts where two parties, objects, or concepts are being discussed collectively.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of duality and balance was significant, often reflected in language and philosophy. The use of "both" in Greek literature and scripture underscores the importance of unity and partnership, whether in relationships, agreements, or theological concepts. The term would have been understood by contemporary audiences as emphasizing completeness or wholeness when two parts are joined.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>cptv. of amphó (on both sides, around)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>both<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>all (2), both (12).<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 297: ἀμφότεροι</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμφότεροι</span></span>, , (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">both of two, both the one and the other</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/9-17.htm">Matthew 9:17</a>, etc.; <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">ἀμφότερα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/23-8.htm">Acts 23:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>both. <p>Comparative of amphi (around); (in plural) both -- both. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>αμφοτερα αμφότερα ἀμφότερα αμφότεραι αμφοτέραις αμφοτέρας αμφοτεροι αμφότεροι αμφότεροί ἀμφότεροι αμφοτεροις αμφοτέροις ἀμφοτέροις αμφοτερους αμφοτέρους ἀμφοτέρους αμφοτερων αμφοτέρων ἀμφοτέρων amphotera amphótera amphoteroi amphóteroi amphoterois amphotérois amphoteron amphoterōn amphotéron amphotérōn amphoterous amphotérous<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/9-17.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 9:17</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Adjective -
