Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around") and ἄγω (ago, meaning "to lead" or "to bring").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for περιάγω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words that convey the idea of encircling or surrounding, such as סָבַב (sabab, Strong's Hebrew 5437), which means "to go around" or "to encircle." This Hebrew term is often used in the Old Testament to describe the act of surrounding a city or area, similar to the Greek περιάγω in its sense of movement and encirclement.

Usage: The verb περιάγω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of leading or carrying something or someone around. It can also refer to the act of going around or encircling a place.

Context: The Greek verb περιάγω appears in the New Testament in contexts that involve movement or travel around a particular area. It is often used to describe physical movement, such as leading or carrying something around a location. In the Berean Standard Bible, περιάγω is used in passages that emphasize the act of encircling or going about a place, often with a purpose or mission.

For example, in the Gospel of Matthew, περιάγω is used to describe Jesus' ministry as He traveled through various towns and villages, teaching and healing. This usage highlights the itinerant nature of His ministry and the widespread impact of His teachings.

The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of encompassing or surrounding something, whether physically or in a more abstract sense. This reflects the broader Greek understanding of the word, which encompasses both literal and figurative movement.

In the context of the New Testament, περιάγω underscores the dynamic and active nature of the early Christian mission, as the apostles and disciples moved throughout the region to spread the message of the Gospel.
