Word Origin: From the combination of ὑπό (hypo, meaning "under") and ἀντάω (antaō, meaning "to meet" or "to encounter"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is פָּגַע (paga, Strong's H6293), which means "to meet" or "to encounter." Usage: The verb "hupantaó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of meeting or encountering someone, often with the implication of going out to meet them. It can denote a physical meeting or a more metaphorical encounter, such as meeting a challenge or situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, meeting someone often involved formalities and was an important aspect of social interaction. The act of going out to meet someone could signify respect, anticipation, or readiness to engage. In the context of the New Testament, such meetings often carried significant theological implications, such as the meeting of Jesus with individuals or groups that led to transformative encounters.
