15.160 · Linear Movement · Drive Along, Carry Along
to drive along, to carry along to cause an object to move by means of a force
36.1 · Guide, Discipline, Follow · Guide, Lead
to guide, to direct, to lead to so influence others as to cause them to follow a recommended course of action In some languages it is difficult to distinguish readily between expressions for ‘leading’ and those which refer to ‘ruling’ or ‘governing,’ but it is important to try to distinguish clearly between these two different sets of interpersonal relations. In some languages, the concept of ‘leading’ can be expressed by ‘showing how to’ or ‘demonstrating how one ought to.’ In other languages it is possible to speak of ‘leading’ as simply ‘going ahead of,’ but too often such an expression may designate only ‘a scout’ who goes ahead to see whether things are safe, or it may refer only to a person who insists on his prerogative as the most distinguished person in a group.
82.12 · Spacial Orientations · Left, Right, Straight Ahead, Opposite
to lead to, to lead into to be oriented in the direction of a movement
13.133 · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · Happen

to put, to place to put or place an object by moving it to a particular point
90.64 · Case · Experiencer
to experience, to bear up under, to undergo to experience an event or state which may be burdensome or difficult
13.35 · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · State
to sustain, to maintain to cause to continue by sustaining or maintaining a state In some languages, however, the closest equivalent of this expression in HEB 1:3 may be ‘causing everything to continue to be as it is by his powerful word.’
It is also possible to interpret φέρω in HEB 1:3 as ‘to cause to continue to exist,’ in which case it may be classified after 13.89. However, the focus seems to be on the state of being.
70.5 · Real, Unreal
to show something happened, to demonstrate something was real to present evidence that something has actually happened In rendering φέρω in HEB 9:16, it may be necessary to redistribute the semantic components even as in the case of the English translation, for example, ‘to show ... actually ...’
31.55 · Hold a View, Believe, Trust · Accept As True
to accept, to receive to accept, but with the implication of the truth being difficult to comprehend or to respond to properly
25.176 · Attitudes and Emotions · Patience, Endurance, Perseverance
to put up with, to endure to put up with annoyance or difficulty
23.199 · Physiological Processes and States · Ripen, Produce Fruit, Bear Seed

23.199 · Physiological Processes and States · Ripen, Produce Fruit, Bear Seed
Collocation: καρπὸν φέρω
to bear fruit, to produce fruit, to produce seed, to yield to produce fruit or seed (of plants)
JHN 12:24 · JHN 15:2 · JHN 15:2 · JHN 15:2 · JHN 15:4 · JHN 15:5 · JHN 15:8 · JHN 15:16
15.11 · (φέρομαι[a]) · Linear Movement · Move, Come/Go
to move, to come, to blow to move from one place to another, with the possible implication of causing the movement of some other object or objects It is possible that in ACT 2:2 φέρομαι should be understood in an idiomatic sense of ‘blowing,’ since it is combined with the noun for ‘wind’ (πνοή[a], 14.4). In any event, one must often translate φέρομαι[a] as ‘blowing,’ since this is frequently the appropriate type of term to use in speaking of the movement of wind.
1 JHN 20:27 · JHN 20:27 It is possible that the occurrence of φέρω in JHN 20:27 JHN 20:27 should be classified merely as an instance of ‘bringing’ or ‘carrying,’ but the focus seems to be far more upon placement at a particular location. The element of movement appears to be entirely secondary.

SYN: φορέω, which expresses habitual and continuous bearing as distinct from (φέρω) that which is accidental and temporary (cf. Mt 11:8, al., s.v. φορέω, and v. Tr., Syn., § lviii)
Trench — Synonyms of the New Testament
On the distinction between these words Lobeck (Phrynichus, p. 585) has the following remarks: ‘ Inter φέρω et φορέω hoc interesse constat, quod iilud actionem simplicem et transitoriam, hoc autem actionis ejusdem continuationem significat ; verbi caus ἀγγελίην φέρειν, est alicujus rei nuncium afferre, Herod. iii. 53 et 122; v.143 ἀγγελίην φορέειν, ili. 34, nuncii munere apud aliquem fungi. Hine et φορεῖν dicimur ea que nobiscum circumferimus, quibus amicti indutique sumus, ut ἱμάτιον, τριβώνιον, δακτύλιον φορεῖν, tum que ad habitum corporis pertinent.’ He proceeds, however, to acknowledge that this distinction is by no means constantly observed even by the best Greek authors. It is, therefore, the more noticeable, as an example of that accuracy which so often takes us by surprise in the use of words by the writers of the N. T., that they are always true to this rule. On the six occasions upon which φορεῖν occurs (Matt. xi. 8; John xix. 5: Rom. xiii. 4; 1 Cor. xv. 49, bis; Jam. 11. 3), it invariably expresses, not an accidental and temporary, but an habitual and continuous, bearing. ‘Sic enim differt φορεῖν ἃ φέρειν, ut hoe sit ferre, illud ferre solere’ (Fritzsche, on Matt. xi. 8). A sentence in Plutarch (Apoph. Reg.), in which both words occur, illustrates very well their different uses. Of Xerxes he tells us: ὀργισθεὶς δὲ Βαβυλωνίοις ἀποστᾶσι, καὶ κρατήσας, προσέταξεν ὅπλα μὴ φέρειν, GAAA ψάλλειν καὶ αὐλεῖν καὶ πορνοβοσκεῖν καὶ καπηλεύειν, καὶ φορεῖν κολπωτοὺς χιτῶναθ. Arms would only be borne on special occasions, therefore φέρειν ; but garments are habitually worn, therefore this is in the second clause exchanged for popetv. 214 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. § ux.

φέρω. (1) “bring,”’ “carry”: P Tebt II. 418% (iii/a.p.) καλῶς ποιήσεις, ἄδελφε, [elav εἰσέρχῃ ἐνεγκὼν μετὰ σεαυτοῦ τὴν γυναῖκά μου, ‘you will do well, brother, to come up and bring my wife with you” (Edd.), 26. 42158 (ili/A.D.) (= Selections, p. 106) τὸ κιτώνιον αὐτῆς τὸ λευκὸν τὸ παρὰ col ἔνιγκον épx[d]pevos, τὸ δὲ καλλάϊνον μ[ὴ] ἐνίγκῃς, “her tunic, the white one which you have, bring when you come, but the turquoise one do not bring,” P Grenf IT. 73% (late iii/A.p.) (as now read by Deissmann LAE* Ὁ. 214) ot νεκροτάφοι ἐνηνόχασιν (cf. Pro/eg. p. 154) ἐνθάδε εἰς Toerd τὴν ἸΤολιτικὴν τὴν πεμφθεῖσαν εἰς ἤθασιν ὑπὸ τῆς ἡγεμονίας, ‘‘the grave-diggers have brought here to Toéto Politika, who had been sent into the Oasis by the government,’ P Fay 1343 (early iv/A.D.) φέρων εἰ δόξαν σοι τὴν ὕαλον, “bring, if you please, the crystal” (Edd.), and 26. 1367 (iv/a.D.) ἀπαντήσατε ἀπ᾽ ἑαυτῶν mpd τοῦ τις ὑμᾶς ἐνέγκῃ, ‘return from where you are before some one fetches you”’ (Edd.). (2) For the derived sense ‘‘bring by announcing,” “‘announce,” cf. P Oxy VIII. 1148® (i/A.p.) where a question addressed to an oracle ends—todréd μοι σύμφωνον ἔνενκε, “tell me this truly.” Hunt ad J. cites in further illustration of this meaning P Fay 138° (i/ii a.p.) ἢ κρείνεται αὐτὸν ἀπελθεῖν is πόλειν ; τοῦτο ἐκξένειγκον, and BGU I. 229% (ii/iii a.p.) 4 μὲν σοθήσωι (4. μὴν σωθήσομαι) . . ., τοῦτό[ν] μοι ἐξένικον, where the sense is not ‘‘bring this to pass,” but ‘‘deliver an oracle,” “give an answer” (cf. LS® s.v. ἐκφέρω 11. 3). The point is not without interest for Heb 9! ὅπου yap διαθήκη, θάνατον ἀνάγκη φέρεσθαι τοῦ διαθεμένου, where φέρεσθαι may = ““ἴο be made publicly known” rather than ‘‘be brought” or ‘‘be brought in.”’ See the discussion of the whole verse in Field ores, Ρ. 229f. (3) “‘endure”: P Grenf I. 425 (ii/B.c.) (= Chrest. 1. p. 528) κινδύνους [peyadous . . . ... . . ἐνην]οχότων, and P Tebt 11. 3144 (ii/A.p.) πιστεύω σε μὴ ἀγνοεῖν ὅσον κάμία]τον ἤνεγκα ἕως τὴν [π]ερι[το]μὴν ἐκπλέξω, “1 believe you are aware how much trouble I had in getting the circumcision through’’: cf. Heb 122°, 1313, (4) For φέρω eis, ‘lead to,’’ as in Ac 1219. cf, P Oxy I. 69% (A.D. 190) (θύραν) φέρουσαν εἰς δημοσίαν ῥύμην, and 26. 99717 (A.D. 55). See also P Tebt I. 548 (B.c. 86) τῆι νυκτὶ τῆι φερούσηι εἰς τὴν κε τοῦ Φαῶφι, “on the night which led to the 25» of Phaophi,” the ‘‘day” began wita sunrise, and similarly P Ryl II. 1295 (A.D. 30), BGU II. 5895 (ii/a.b.). MGr φέρνω, as well as φέρω.
