It can imply discipleship, pursuit, or a return to a previous state or position. Context: The Greek term ὀπίσω is frequently used in the New Testament to convey the idea of following or coming after someone. It is often employed in the context of discipleship, where individuals are called to follow Jesus. For instance, in Matthew 4:19, Jesus says, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
