Usage: The verb κρεμάννυμι is used in the New Testament to describe the act of hanging or suspending something. It is often used in a literal sense but can also carry metaphorical implications depending on the context.

Context: The Greek verb κρεμάννυμι appears in several passages within the New Testament, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. In a literal sense, it is used to describe the physical act of hanging or suspending objects or people. For example, in Matthew 22:40, Jesus uses the term metaphorically when He says, "On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Here, κρεμάννυμι conveys the idea that the entirety of the Law and the Prophets is dependent upon or upheld by the two greatest commandments: loving God and loving one's neighbor.

Another significant usage is found in Acts 5:30, where Peter, addressing the Sanhedrin, states, "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree." In this context, κρεμάννυμι is used to describe the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing the physical act of being suspended on the cross.

The term also appears in Acts 28:4, where the islanders see a viper hanging from Paul's hand and conclude that he must be a murderer. Here, κρεμάννυμι is used in a straightforward, literal sense to describe the snake's physical attachment to Paul.

The use of κρεμάννυμι in the New Testament underscores themes of dependence, judgment, and fulfillment of the law, reflecting the broader theological implications of the term within the Christian narrative.
