Strong's Lexicon prosagó: To bring to, to lead to, to approach Original Word: προσαγω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: prosagó Pronunciation: pros-ag-O Phonetic Spelling: (pros-ag'-o) Definition: I bring to, bring near; I come to or towards, approach. Meaning: To bring to, to lead to, to approach, to present. Word Origin: From πρός (pros, meaning "to" or "toward") and ἄγω (agō, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H7126 קָרַב (qarab): To come near, approach, bring near. • H5066 נָגַשׁ (nagash): To draw near, approach, bring near. These Hebrew terms share a similar semantic range with προσαγω, emphasizing the act of approaching or bringing near, often in a religious or relational context. Usage: The verb προσαγω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of bringing or leading someone to a place or person. It often implies a sense of introduction or presentation, particularly in a relational or spiritual context. Context: The Greek verb προσαγω appears in the New Testament in contexts that emphasize the act of bringing or leading someone into the presence of another. This term is often used in a relational sense, highlighting the role of an intermediary or guide who facilitates an introduction or approach. In the New Testament, προσαγω is used to describe the act of bringing individuals to Jesus, as seen in the Gospels. For example, in Luke 9:41, Jesus responds to a situation where a boy is brought to Him for healing: "Jesus answered, 'O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long must I remain with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.'" Here, the act of bringing the boy to Jesus signifies a physical and spiritual approach to the source of healing and divine intervention. The term also carries theological significance in the context of access to God. In Ephesians 2:18, Paul writes, "For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit." The concept of access (προσαγωγή, prosagōgē) here is derived from the verb προσαγω, emphasizing the role of Christ as the mediator who brings believers into the presence of God, highlighting the intimate relationship established through faith. The use of προσαγω in the New Testament underscores the importance of mediation and introduction in the spiritual journey, reflecting the transformative power of being brought into the presence of the divine.
