It implies a deliberate decision to reject something as unworthy or unsuitable. This term is often used in contexts where something or someone is tested and found lacking or unfit, leading to rejection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of testing and approval was significant in various aspects of life, including commerce, where goods were tested for quality, and in civic life, where individuals were evaluated for their suitability for public office. The term ἀποδοκιμάζω reflects this cultural practice of testing and rejecting what does not meet the required standards. In a Jewish context, the rejection of the Messiah by the religious leaders can be seen as a profound example of this term's application.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>593</b> <i>apodokimázō</i> (from <a href="/greek/575.htm">575</a> <i>/apó</i>, "away from" and <a href="/greek/1381.htm">1381</a> <i>/dokimázō</i>, "to prove, test") – properly, to cast away <i>after thorough investigation </i>(<i>testing</i>); to <i>reject</i> after determining something is <i>useless</i> (<i>unworthy</i>).</p><p class="discovery">[This is also the meaning of this term in Plato, Herodotus, Lydias, etc., which can also include <i>disqualification</i> (<i>L-S</i>).]</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/575.htm">apo</a> and <a href="/greek/1381.htm">dokimazó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to reject<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rejected (9).<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 593: ἀποδοκιμάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποδοκιμάζω</span></span>: (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">δοκιμάζω</span></span>); 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπεδοκίμασα</span>; passive, 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἀπεδοκιμασθην</span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">ἀποδεδοκιμασμενος</span>; <span class="accented">to disapprove, reject, repudiate</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/21-42.htm">Matthew 21:42</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-31.htm">Mark 8:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-10.htm">Mark 12:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-22.htm">Luke 9:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/17-25.htm">Luke 17:25</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-17.htm">Luke 20:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/2-4.htm">1 Peter 2:4, 7</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/12-17.htm">Hebrews 12:17</a>.
