It implies bringing order or peace to a situation that is otherwise chaotic or turbulent. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where there is a need to restrain or pacify.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, maintaining order and peace was highly valued, both in public life and within the household. The concept of "katastelló" would resonate with the cultural emphasis on harmony and control. In a biblical context, this term reflects the divine ability to bring peace and order, contrasting with human tendencies toward disorder and unrest.<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/4724.htm">stelló</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to keep down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>keep calm (1), quieting (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 2687: καταστέλλω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταστέλλω</span></span>: 1 aorist participle <span class="greek2">καταστείλας</span>;
