It conveys a sense of immediacy and purpose, often in response to a pressing need or a significant event.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, running was a common metaphor for urgency and determination. The act of running towards someone could indicate respect, eagerness to help, or a desire to be part of an important event. In the context of the New Testament, this action often reflects a deep emotional response or a significant spiritual awakening.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/4314.htm">pros</a> and <a href="/greek/5143.htm">trechó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to run to<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ran (2), running (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 4370: προσδρέμω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προσδρέμω</span></span>, see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">προστρέχω</span></span>. <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 4370: προστρέχω</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">προστρέχω</span></span>; 2 aorist active participle <span class="greek2">προσδραμών</span>; <span class="accented">to run to</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/9-15.htm">Mark 9:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/10-17.htm">Mark 10:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/8-30.htm">Acts 8:30</a>.
