It conveys the idea of being present among a group of people or in a particular location, often with the implication of being a visitor or sojourner rather than a permanent resident.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, travel and temporary residence in different cities were common due to trade, education, and political duties. The concept of being a sojourner or temporary resident was well understood, as many people would travel for various reasons and stay in places for extended periods without becoming permanent citizens. This cultural context helps illuminate the use of "epidémeó" in the New Testament, where it often describes individuals who are present in a location for a specific purpose or mission.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1909.htm">epi</a> and <a href="/greek/1218.htm">démos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be at home<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>visiting (1), visitors (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 1927: ἐπιδημέω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐπιδημέω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐπιδήμω</span>;
