It often carries the connotation of contradiction or resistance, particularly in the context of disputing or challenging authority or truth. This term is frequently used in situations where individuals or groups resist the message of the Gospel or the teachings of Jesus and the apostles.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, public debate and discourse were common, and the act of speaking against or contradicting was a recognized part of philosophical and rhetorical traditions. In the context of early Christianity, "antilegó" often describes the opposition faced by Jesus and His followers from religious leaders, political authorities, and others who resisted the new teachings that challenged established norms and beliefs.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>483</b> <i>antilégō</i> (from <a href="/greek/473.htm">473</a> <i>/antí</i>, "opposite to" and <a href="/greek/3004.htm">3004</a> <i>/légō</i>, "speaking to a conclusion") – properly, voicing opposition; to <i>contradict</i>, especially in a hostile (argumentative) way – i.e. to dispute in order to <i>thwart</i>.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><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/3004.htm">legó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to speak against, hence to contradict, oppose<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>argumentative (1), contradict (1), contradicting (1), objected (1), obstinate (1), opposed (1), opposes (1), say (1), spoken against (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 483: ἀντιλέγω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀντιλέγω</span></span>; (imperfect <span class="greek2">ἀντέλεγον</span>); <span class="accented">to speak against, gainsay, contradict</span>; absolutely: <a href="/interlinear/acts/13-45.htm">Acts 13:45</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> omit); <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-19.htm">Acts 28:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/titus/1-9.htm">Titus 1:9</a>. <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, <a href="/interlinear/acts/13-45.htm">Acts 13:45</a>. followed by <span class="greek2">μή</span> and the accusative with an infinitive: <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-27.htm">Luke 20:27</a> (<span class="manuref">L</span> marginal reading <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">λέγοντες</span>) (as in Greek writings; see <span class="abbreviation">Passow</span> (or Liddell and Scott), under the word; (<span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 65, 2b; <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 355 (305))).
