1 MAT 4:10 · JHN 6:67 It is possible to interpret ὑπάγω in MAT 4:10 and JHN 6:67 as being simply a matter of ‘going’ and therefore equivalent to ὑπάγω[b] (15.35). 2 Expressions occurring in numbered items 23.101-23.105 involve euphemistic expressions for death. These have been subdivided on the basis of certain significant features of the underlying bases, as will be noted in the discussions.

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὑπάγω. In its Johannine occurrences ὑπάγω is almost always = ‘‘go away,’’ as distinguished from πορεύομαι ‘‘go ona journey”: see Abbott /o#. Voc. p. 142ff., where it is pointed out that before the Last Discourses our Lord never uses πορεύομαι of Himself, except in Jn 1111, where the reference is primarily to a literal journey into Judaea. For ὑπάγω, ‘‘go away,” ‘go back,” in the vernacular we may cite P Oxy X. 12911! (A.D. 30) ᾿Απολλὼς Θέωνος ὑπάγει αὔριον, BGU 11. 4504 (ii/iii A.p.) ὕπαγε ὅπου [ἐστὶ] Oaus, ἵνα πέμψῃς [αὐτὸ]ν πρὸς ἐμέ, P Tebt II. 4174 (illiterate— ili/A.D.) ἤδη εἴ]ρηχέ σοι ὁ {a} πα[τ]ήρ σου [σου ἐξερχομένου ὅτι ὕπαγε πρὸς τὸν Μῶρον καὶ εἴδε τί λέγει περὶ τῆς ᾿Αντινόον, ‘‘your father already told you, when you were e , ὑπακοὴ leaving, to go to Morus and see what he says about Antinoe” (Edd.), and 24. 422° (iii/A.b.) ἐρῖς Ταωσᾶτι ὕπαγε [{π|] μετὰ Μέλανος πρὸς Νεμεσᾶν, ‘tell Taosas to go with Melas to Nemesas,” and P Oxy XII. 1477? (question to an oracle—iii/iv A.D.) εἶ μένω ὅπου ὑπάγω ; ‘shall I remain where I am going ?”’ The word is avoided by Luke, perhaps, as Abbott (ze? s.) suggests, because of its variety of usage in the vernacular, meaning ‘‘go on” or ‘‘come on,” as well as ‘‘go back’”’: see e.g. P Ryl II. 2367 (a.p. 256) ἄλλην μίαν τετραονίαν ἀπόστειλον εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἀντὶ τοῦ "Akn els ὑπηρεσίαν τῶν ὑπαγόντων βαδιστῶν καὶ ἵππων, ‘send another team of four donkeys to the city in place of Akes to carry fodder for the riding donkeys and horses coming up”’ (Edd.). In P Par 6” (B.C. 129), if the restoration is correct, the verb is used of ‘‘ raising” or ‘‘ bringing up” a legal action— ἐπεὶ οὖν ὑπ[άγω] (Ὁ) κατὰ ἸΠοήριος, ““ puisque j’intente action contre Poéris” (Ed.), and in P Michigan 33813 (iii/A.D.) it refers to the conduct of business—Kah@s yap ὑπάγιί = et), **for he is doing well.” The same letter gives us another ex. of the sense ‘‘go away” (wf supra), ὃ οὗ ἔπεμψα[ς] αὐτὸν ἐν πλ[ο]ήίῳ ὑπάγοντι is Ταπόσιριν, ‘‘ where you sent him in a boat making for Taposiris’’ (Ed. ). For the trans. use, which does not occur in the NT, cf. the Klepht Ballad (Abbott Songs, p. 188)— χίλιοι τὸν ᾽πήγαιναν ᾿μπροσϑὰ kal πεντακόσιοι ᾽πίσω, “ἐᾷ thousand men led him in front and five hundred followed behind.” Besides πηγαίνω, παγαίνω, MGr has the forms πάγω, πάω, πάνω, “I go”: see Thumb Handbook, p. 349.
