Usage: The verb "anadidómi" is used in the New Testament to convey the act of giving up or delivering something or someone. It often implies a sense of entrusting or handing over responsibility or control. This term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, such as delivering a message or entrusting a person to another's care. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "giving up" or "delivering" was significant in various aspects of life, including legal, familial, and religious contexts. The act of handing over something or someone often carried with it a sense of trust and responsibility. In the Jewish context, the idea of delivering or handing over was also present in the sacrificial system and in the transmission of religious teachings and traditions.
