Word Origin: From the Greek words ἀντί (anti, meaning "against") and λέγω (lego, meaning "to speak"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves terms like "רִיב" (riyb, meaning "to contend" or "to dispute") and "עָרַר" (arar, meaning "to oppose" or "to challenge"). Usage: The verb "antilegó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of speaking against or opposing someone or something. It often carries the connotation of contradiction or resistance, particularly in the context of disputing or challenging authority or truth. This term is frequently used in situations where individuals or groups resist the message of the Gospel or the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, public debate and discourse were common, and the act of speaking against or contradicting was a recognized part of philosophical and rhetorical traditions. In the context of early Christianity, "antilegó" often describes the opposition faced by Jesus and His followers from religious leaders, political authorities, and others who resisted the new teachings that challenged established norms and beliefs.
