It can imply a physical action of lowering or a metaphorical sense of overcoming or overpowering. The term is often used to describe a forceful or decisive action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of bringing something down could be associated with both physical actions, such as lowering a sail or casting down an enemy, and metaphorical actions, such as overcoming an argument or defeating a rival. The use of "katapheró" in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, often in the context of spiritual or moral struggles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/5342.htm">pheró</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to bring down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>against (1), bringing (1), cast...against (1), overcome (1), sinking (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 2702: καταφέρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταφέρω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατήνεγκα</span>; passive, present <span class="greek2">καταφέρομαι</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατηνεχθην</span>; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <span class="accented">to bear down, bring down, cast down</span>: <span class="greek2">ψῆφον</span>, properly, to cast a pebble or calculus namely, into the urn, i. e. to give one's vote, <span class="accented">to approve,</span> <a href="/interlinear/acts/26-10.htm">Acts 26:10</a>; <span class="greek2">αἰτιώματα</span> <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">τίνος</span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">κατά</span></span>, I. 2 b.
