It conveys the idea of exercising authority or leadership over a region or group of people. This term is often associated with Roman officials or local rulers who were responsible for maintaining order and implementing the decrees of higher authorities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of the New Testament, the Roman Empire had established a complex system of governance across its vast territories. Local rulers, often referred to as "governors" or "tetrarchs," were appointed to oversee provinces and ensure the implementation of Roman law and order. These officials played a crucial role in maintaining the Pax Romana, the long period of relative peace and stability across the empire. The use of ἡγεμονεύω reflects the hierarchical and structured nature of Roman political authority during the time of Jesus and the early church.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2232.htm">hégemón</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to command<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>governor (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 2230: ἡγεμονεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἡγεμονεύω</span></span>;
