Strong's Lexicon prosagó: To bring to, to lead to, to approach Original Word: προσαγω Word Origin: From the preposition πρός (pros, meaning "to" or "toward") and the verb ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "prosagó," the concept of bringing or leading someone into the presence of another can be seen in Hebrew words like קָרַב (qarab, Strong's H7126), which means "to draw near" or "to approach." Usage: The verb "prosagó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of bringing or leading someone to a particular place or person. It often implies a sense of introduction or presentation, where one is brought into the presence of another, typically of higher status or authority. This term can also convey the idea of access or approach, especially in a relational or spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of being brought into the presence of a person of authority was significant. It often required an intermediary or a formal introduction. This cultural understanding is reflected in the New Testament usage of "prosagó," where the term is used to describe the believer's access to God through Jesus Christ. The idea of access to God was revolutionary in the Jewish context, where the temple and priesthood mediated the relationship between God and His people.
