It is used in the New Testament to denote a thoughtful or deliberate response, typically in a dialogue or debate setting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, dialogue and debate were common practices in both public and private settings. The ability to give a well-reasoned "apokrisis" was highly valued, especially among philosophers, teachers, and leaders. This cultural emphasis on dialogue is reflected in the New Testament, where Jesus and the apostles often engage in discussions that require thoughtful responses.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/611.htm">apokrinomai</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an answering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>answer (3), answers (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 612: ἀπόκρισις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀπόκρισις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποκρισεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀποκρίνομαι</span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀποκρίνω</span></span>), <span class="accented">a replying, an answer</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/2-47.htm">Luke 2:47</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-26.htm">Luke 20:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/1-22.htm">John 1:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/19-9.htm">John 19:9</a>.
