Original Word: ὑπάγω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: hupagó
Pronunciation: hoo-pah'-go
Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-ag'-o)
Definition: I go away, depart, begone, die.
Meaning: The verb ὑπάγω primarily means "to go away," "to depart," or "to withdraw." It can also imply "to go" or "to lead under."

Word Origin: Derived from the combination of ὑπό (hypó, "under") and ἄγω (ágō, "to lead" or "to go").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ὑπάγω, similar concepts of departure or going away can be found in Hebrew verbs such as יָצָא (yatsa, Strong's 3318, "to go out") and הָלַךְ (halak, Strong's 1980, "to walk" or "to go"). These Hebrew terms convey movement and transition, akin to the Greek ὑπάγω.

Usage: In the New Testament, ὑπάγω is used to describe physical departure or movement from one place to another. It often conveys the sense of leaving or withdrawing, sometimes with an implication of returning to a previous state or place.

Context: The Greek verb ὑπάγω appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts where individuals are departing from a location or situation. It is used in both literal and metaphorical senses. For instance, in John 7:33, Jesus says, "I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to Him who sent Me." Here, ὑπάγω is used to describe Jesus' impending departure to the Father, indicating both a physical and spiritual transition.

In another instance, John 16:7 states, "But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." This passage highlights the necessity of Jesus' departure for the coming of the Holy Spirit, using ὑπάγω to emphasize the purposeful nature of His leaving.

The term is also used in more mundane contexts, such as in Mark 6:31, where Jesus invites His disciples to "Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while." Here, ὑπάγω is part of the invitation to withdraw from the crowds for rest and reflection.

Overall, ὑπάγω is a versatile verb that captures the essence of movement, transition, and purposeful departure, whether in the context of Jesus' ministry or the daily lives of His followers.

5217 hypágō (from 5259 /hypó, "under" and 71 /ágō, "lead away") – properly, to lead away under someone's authority (mission, objective). 5217 /hypágō (literally, "going under") indicates a change of relation which is only defined by the context.
