It is often translated as "down," "below," or "beneath" in English. In the New Testament, it is used to describe physical locations as well as metaphorical or spiritual states.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, spatial orientation was often used metaphorically to describe social and spiritual hierarchies. The concept of "above" and "below" was not only a physical description but also carried connotations of superiority and inferiority. This cultural understanding is reflected in the biblical text, where "kató" can imply a position of humility or subordination.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adverb from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>down, below<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>below (3), bottom (2), down (4), under (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 2736: κάτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κάτω</span></span> (from <span class="greek2">κατά</span>), adverb (fr. <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), comparitive <span class="greek2">κατωτέρω</span>; (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 472 (440)); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">down, downward</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/4-6.htm">Matthew 4:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/4-9.htm">Luke 4:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/8-6.htm">John 8:6, 8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/20-9.htm">Acts 20:9</a>. <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">below, beneath</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, as above); <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> of place: <a href="/interlinear/mark/14-66.htm">Mark 14:66</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-19.htm">Acts 2:19</a>; <span class="greek2">ἕως</span> <span class="greek2">κάτω</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
