Strong's Lexicon hupolambanó: To take up, to assume, to suppose, to reply Original Word: ὑπολαμβάνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: hupolambanó Pronunciation: hoo-pol-am-ban'-o Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-ol-am-ban'-o) Definition: (a) I take up, (b) I welcome, entertain, (c) I answer, (d) I suppose, imagine. Meaning: The verb ὑπολαμβάνω generally means "to take up," "to assume," "to suppose," or "to reply." It can also imply the act of receiving something under one's care or consideration. Word Origin: From the preposition ὑπό (hypo, meaning "under") and the verb λαμβάνω (lambanō, meaning "to take" or "to receive"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπολαμβάνω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew verbs that convey taking up, assuming, or responding, such as לָקַח (laqach, Strong's Hebrew 3947, meaning "to take") and עָנָה (anah, Strong's Hebrew 6030, meaning "to answer" or "to respond"). These Hebrew terms reflect similar actions of receiving, assuming, or replying, akin to the Greek ὑπολαμβάνω. Usage: In the New Testament, ὑπολαμβάνω is used in various contexts, often implying an assumption or a response to a situation or statement. It can denote taking something up in thought or speech, or responding to a question or situation. Context: The Greek verb ὑπολαμβάνω appears in several New Testament passages, each illustrating a nuanced aspect of its meaning. In Luke 10:30, Jesus uses the term in the Parable of the Good Samaritan: "Jesus took up this question and said: 'A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers...'" (BSB). Here, ὑπολαμβάνω is translated as "took up," indicating Jesus' response to a question by telling a parable. Another instance is found in Acts 2:15, where Peter addresses the crowd on the day of Pentecost: "These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It is only the third hour of the day!" (BSB). In this context, ὑπολαμβάνω is translated as "suppose," reflecting the crowd's assumption about the apostles' behavior. The verb also appears in John 8:48, where the Jews respond to Jesus: "The Jews answered Him, 'Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?'" (BSB). Here, ὑπολαμβάνω is implied in the act of responding or answering, showcasing its use in dialogue. The use of ὑπολαμβάνω in these passages highlights its role in communication, whether through assumption, response, or the act of taking up a matter for discussion. It underscores the importance of understanding context to grasp the full meaning of the term in biblical narratives.
