It implies a strong request, often with a sense of authority or desperation. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a situation where a request is made with significant intensity or earnestness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the act of asking or demanding something was often tied to social status and relationships. A person of higher status could demand something from someone of lower status, while those of equal status might make requests of one another. The use of "exaiteó" in the New Testament reflects the intensity and seriousness of the request being made, often in a spiritual or relational context.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>1809</b> <i>eksaitéomai</i> (from <a href="/greek/1537.htm">1537</a> <i>/ek</i>, "completely out from," intensifying <a href="/greek/154.htm">154</a> <i>/aitéō</i>, "ask") – properly, to request a <i>full</i> "handing over" (a <i>complete</i> "take-over"). <a href="/greek/1809.htm">1809</a> <i>/eksaitéomai</i> ("totally hand over") only occurs in Lk 22:31.
