Strong's Lexicon antapokrinomai: To answer back, to reply in return Original Word: ἀνταποκρίνομαι Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀντί (anti, meaning "against" or "in return") and ἀποκρίνομαι (apokrinomai, meaning "to answer" or "to respond"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἀνταποκρίνομαι, the concept of answering or responding is found in Hebrew words like עָנָה (anah, Strong's H6030), which means "to answer" or "to respond." Usage: The verb ἀνταποκρίνομαι is used to describe the act of responding or answering back, often in a reciprocal or defensive manner. It implies a dialogue or exchange where one party responds to another, sometimes with a sense of opposition or rebuttal. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, dialogue and debate were common in both religious and philosophical settings. The use of ἀνταποκρίνομαι reflects the interactive nature of teaching and discourse in the ancient world, where questions and answers were a primary method of instruction and clarification. This term would have been understood in the context of rabbinic debates, Greco-Roman rhetorical practices, and everyday conversations.
