It implies a deliberate attempt to trap or capture, typically through cunning or deceit. This term is used to describe the actions of those who seek to entrap others, particularly in a moral or spiritual context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, hunting and fishing were common practices, and the language of catching or ensnaring was often used metaphorically to describe various forms of entrapment, whether in legal, social, or rhetorical contexts. The use of "agreuó" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, applying it to the spiritual and moral realm where individuals might be caught in sin or deceit.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/61.htm">agra</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to catch, take by hunting<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>trap (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 64: ἀγρεύω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγρεύω</span></span>: 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ή᾿γρευσα</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἄγρα</span>); <span class="accented">to catch</span> (properly, wild animals, fishes): figurative, <a href="/interlinear/mark/12-13.htm">Mark 12:13</a> <span class="greek2">ἵνα</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτόν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγρεύσωσι</span> <span class="greek2">λόγῳ</span> in order to entrap him by some inconsiderate remark elicited from him in conversation, cf. <a href="/interlinear/luke/20-20.htm">Luke 20:20</a>.
