Word Origin: From ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and εἶπον (eipon, meaning "to speak" or "to say") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀντείπον, similar concepts of opposition or contradiction can be found in Hebrew words like עָרַר (arar, meaning "to oppose" or "to stir up") and נָגַד (nagad, meaning "to declare" or "to contradict"). Usage: The Greek verb ἀντείπον (anteipon) is used to describe the act of speaking against or contradicting someone. It implies a verbal opposition or resistance to what is being said. In the New Testament, it often carries a connotation of challenging authority or established truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, rhetoric and public speaking were highly valued skills. The ability to debate and contradict effectively was seen as a sign of intelligence and education. However, in the context of early Christianity, speaking against the teachings of Jesus or the apostles was viewed as a serious matter, often associated with disbelief or rebellion against divine authority.
