Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπαντάω, similar concepts of meeting or encountering can be found in Hebrew verbs such as קָרָא (qarah, Strong's 7122) meaning "to meet" or "to encounter," and פָּגַע (paga, Strong's 6293) meaning "to meet" or "to intercede." These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of purposeful or significant encounters in the Old Testament. Usage: The verb ὑπαντάω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of going to meet someone, often with the implication of a purposeful or significant encounter. It is used in contexts where individuals or groups go out to meet others, sometimes with a sense of anticipation or preparation. Context: The Greek verb ὑπαντάω appears in several New Testament passages, illustrating various encounters and meetings. It is often used in narrative contexts where individuals or groups actively go out to meet someone, highlighting the significance of the meeting. • Matthew 8:28: "When He arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way." Here, ὑπαντάω is used to describe the encounter between Jesus and the demon-possessed men, emphasizing the sudden and confrontational nature of the meeting. • Matthew 25:1: "At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom." In this parable, ὑπαντάω is used to describe the virgins going out to meet the bridegroom, symbolizing readiness and anticipation for the coming of the kingdom. • John 4:51: "And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive." The use of ὑπαντάω here highlights the joyful and unexpected encounter between the official and his servants, who bring good news. The verb often conveys a sense of intentionality and purpose in the act of meeting, whether it be in anticipation of a significant event or in response to an urgent situation. It underscores the relational and often transformative nature of these encounters in the biblical narrative.
