SIBI-P1 G649-22
having sent-forth
| Root | ἀποστέλλω (apostellō) |
| Core Meanings | send out, send forth, dispatch on a mission, set apart and send, commission |
| Semantic Range | to send away, dispatch, commission with authority, release, transmit, appoint as an envoy; used of divine commissioning and human delegation. |
| Conceptual Significance | This verb is foundational to the concept of apostolic mission. From it derives ἀπόστολος (apostolos, "sent one"). It often conveys divine commissioning—especially of prophets, messengers, and the Messiah—emphasizing purposeful sending with delegated authority. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAA,NMS). Denotes a completed action by a masculine singular subject, functioning adjectivally or circumstantially. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering "having sent-forth" preserves the compound sense of ἀπό (away/from) and στέλλω (to send, dispatch), highlighting purposeful commissioning. The aorist active participle (nominative masculine singular) is reflected by "having sent," indicating a completed action performed by a masculine singular subject prior to the main verb. |
