Usage: The Greek verb "apostelló" primarily means "to send forth" or "to dispatch." It is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of sending someone on a specific mission or with a particular purpose. This term is frequently associated with the sending of messengers, prophets, and apostles, emphasizing the authority and purpose behind the sending.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, sending a messenger or representative was a common practice, often involving the conveyance of important messages or the execution of specific tasks. In the Jewish context, the concept of being sent by God carried significant weight, as prophets and leaders were often seen as divinely appointed messengers. The use of "apostelló" in the New Testament reflects this cultural understanding, highlighting the divine authority and mission of those sent by God, particularly Jesus and His apostles.

HELPS Word-studies

649 apostéllō (from 575 /apó, "away from" and 4724 /stéllō, "send") – properly, send away, i.e. commission; (passive) "sent on a defined mission by a superior."

As an intensification of 4724 /stéllō ("send"), 649 (apostéllō) focuses back to the source (the one sending), strongly connecting the sender to the one sent (His mission). This verb is used of closely connecting the Lord (the sender) to the believers He personally commissions – as with John the Baptist (Mk 11:2) and the twelve apostles (Mt 10:5; cf. also with His holy angels, Mk 13:27).

c. The object of the mission is indicated by an infinitive following: Mark 3:14; Matthew 22:3; Luke 1:19; Luke 4:18 (Isaiah 61:1 (on the perfect cf. Winers Grammar, 272 (255); Buttmann, 197 (171))); Luke 9:2; John 4:38; 1 Corinthians 1:17; Revelation 22:6.

When one accomplished anything through a messenger, it is expressed thus: ἀποστείλας or πέμψας he did so and so; as, ἀποστείλας ἀνεῖλε, Matthew 2:16; Mark 6:17; Acts 7:14; Revelation 1:1; (so also the Greeks, as Xenophon, Cyril 3, 1, 6 πέμψας ἠρώτα, Plutarch, de liber. educ. c. 14 πέμψας ἀνεῖλε τόν θεοκριτον; and the Sept. 2 Kings 6:13 ἀποστείλας λήψομαι αὐτόν).
