It conveys the idea of being far away or at a considerable distance from a particular point or object. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe spatial separation or to emphasize the remoteness of a location or situation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, distance was a significant factor in daily life, affecting travel, communication, and social interactions. The concept of being "far away" could imply not only physical separation but also social or relational distance. In the context of the New Testament, "porró" can highlight the separation between God and humanity due to sin, as well as the physical distances that Jesus and His disciples traveled during their ministry.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>an alt. form of prosó (far from)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>far off<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>away* (1), far (2), far away (1), farther (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 4206: πόρρω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πόρρω</span></span> ((allied with <span class="greek2">πρό</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 380)), adverb (from <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span> down),<span class="accented">far, at a distance, a great way off</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-8.htm">Matthew 15:8</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-6.htm">Mark 7:6</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/14-32.htm">Luke 14:32</a> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 54, 2 a.; <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 129, 11); comparitive <span class="greek2">πορρωτέρω</span>, in <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">πορρώτερον</span> ((<span class="abbreviation">Polybius</span>, others)),<span class="accented">further</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/24-28.htm">Luke 24:28</a>.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>far, a great way off. <p>Adverb from <a href="/greek/4253.htm">pro</a>; forwards, i.e. At a distance -- far, a great way off.
