παραδίδωμι

paradídōmi

G3860 verb

SILEX Entry

Definition

To give over or hand over someone or something, either voluntarily or by force; to deliver, entrust, transfer control or possession. In different contexts, refers to the act of delivering a person (e.g., to authorities, as in arrest or judicial transfer), handing over objects or teachings, committing someone to custody, or even the act of betrayal by delivery to an adversarial party. The semantic range includes both neutral transfers and transfers under compulsion or with negative consequences.

Semantic Range

to hand over (a person to authorities or enemies), to deliver up, to betray (by handing over), to entrust or transmit (teachings, possessions), to commit (to custody or care), to transfer responsibility, to deliver messages or information

Root / Etymology

From the preposition παρά ('from beside, from') and the verb δίδωμι ('to give'), thus 'to give from one's side,' 'to hand over.' The compound denotes both the idea of giving over to another and the act of transferring responsibility or possession.

Historical & Contextual Notes

In classical Greek, παραδίδωμι is used broadly for delivering persons, objects, or messages, often in neutral or even positive senses (e.g., entrusting teachings, delivering letters). By the Second Temple period and in Jewish-Greek contexts, the term acquires an additional legal/judicial nuance: to hand over to judicial or hostile parties. In the New Testament, it frequently refers to the act of delivering Jesus (or others) to authorities, and is sometimes rendered 'betray,' though this often reflects the context of transfer to an enemy. English translations tend to collapse the semantic distinctions into 'betray' or 'deliver up,' depending on context, whereas the Greek word itself is contextually neutral unless the situation gives it a negative sense. There is significant lexical difference between παραδίδωμι and related terms like προδίδωμι (to betray, more explicitly treacherous) or ἀποδίδωμι (to give back, restore). In transmission of tradition (e.g., 1 Corinthians 11:23), παραδίδωμι is used positively for handing down authoritative teaching. The variety of meanings in the Septuagint and New Testament reflects both its flexible syntactic uses and the influence of legal, religious, and social contexts on interpretation.

Translation Consistency

primary "hand" 46 occurrences

'Hand' is the most natural, common English verb covering the primary senses of παραδίδωμι — to hand over, deliver, entrust, or commit. Corpus forms overwhelmingly use 'hand(ed)', and 'hand' comfortably inflects into 'handed', 'handing', etc., while fitting both voluntary and forced transfers (including betrayal or delivery to authorities). 'Deliver' was considered but 'hand' is more natural and frequent across the contexts.

from παρά and δίδωμι; to surrender, i.e yield up, intrust, transmit:--betray, bring forth, cast, commit, deliver (up), give (over, up), hazard, put in prison, recommend.
