Strong's Lexicon katapheró: To bring down, to cast down, to bear down Original Word: καταφέρω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: katapheró Pronunciation: kat-af-er'-o Phonetic Spelling: (kat-af-er'-o) Definition: I bear down, overpower; I give a vote or verdict, bring charges. Meaning: To bring down, to cast down, to bear down upon. Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and φέρω (pherō, meaning "to bring" or "to carry"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταφέρω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of bringing down or subduing. Some related Hebrew entries might include: • יָרַד (yarad, Strong's 3381): To go down, descend. • נָפַל (naphal, Strong's 5307): To fall, to be cast down. • כָּבַשׁ (kabash, Strong's 3533): To subdue, bring into subjection. These Hebrew terms reflect similar actions of descending or subduing, which align with the Greek concept of καταφέρω in its New Testament usage. Usage: The verb καταφέρω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing something down or casting it down. It can imply a physical action or a metaphorical one, such as bringing down arguments or thoughts. Context: The Greek verb καταφέρω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve the act of bringing something down, either physically or metaphorically. This term is often used to describe a forceful action, such as casting down or overthrowing. In the Berean Standard Bible, καταφέρω is used to convey the idea of a decisive action that results in the lowering or subduing of something. For example, in Acts 27:27, the term is used in the context of a ship being driven down by a storm: "On the fourteenth night we were still being driven across the Adriatic Sea, when about midnight the sailors sensed they were approaching land." Here, the word καταφέρω illustrates the forceful movement of the ship being carried down by the storm. The usage of καταφέρω in the New Testament often carries a connotation of power and authority, as it involves the act of bringing something under control or subduing it. This can be seen in spiritual contexts where arguments or thoughts are brought down in submission to Christ.
