Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἀναβαίνω; (imperfect ἀνέβαινον Acts 3:1; future ἀναβήσομαι Romans 10:6, after Deuteronomy 30:12); perfect ἀναβέβηκα; 2 aorist ἀνέβην, participle ἀναβάς, imperative ἀνάβα Revelation 4:1 (ἀνάβηθι Lachmann), plural ἀνάβατε (for R G ἀνάβητε) Revelation 11:12 L T Tr (WH; cf. WHs Appendix, p. 168{b}); Winers Grammar, § 14, 1 h.; (Buttmann, 54 (47); from Homer down); the Sept. for עָלָה;

a. to go up, move to a higher place, ascend: a tree (ἐπί), Luke 19:4; upon the roof of a house (ἐπί), Luke 5:19; into a ship (εἰς), Mark 6:51; (Matthew 15:39 G Tr text; Acts 21:6 Tdf.); εἰς τό ὄρος, Matthew 5:1; Luke 9:28; Mark 3:13; εἰς τό ὑπερῷον, Acts 1:13; εἰς τόν οὐρανόν, Romans 10:6; Revelation 11:12 εἰς τόν οὐρανόν is omitted, but to be supplied, in John 1:51 (); , and in the phrase, ἀναβέβηκα πρός τόν πατέρα, John 20:17. (It is commonly maintained that those persons are figuratively said ἀναβεβηκέναι εἰς τόν οὐρανόν, who have penetrated the heavenly mysteries: John 3:13, cf. Deuteronomy 30:12; Proverbs 24:27 (); Baruch 3:29. But in these latter passages also the expression is to be understood literally. And as respects John 3:13, it must be remembered that Christ brought his knowledge of the divine counsels with him from heaven, inasmuch as he had dwelt there prior to his incarnation. Now the natural language was οὐδείς ἦν ἐν οὐρανῷ; but the expression ἀναβέβηκεν is used because none but Christ could get there except by ascending. Accordingly εἰ μή refers merely to the idea, involved in ἀναβέβηκεν of a past residence in heaven. Cf. Meyer (or Westcott) at the passage) Used of travelling to a higher place: εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, Matthew 20:17; Mark 10:32f, etc.; εἰς τό ἱερόν, John 7:14; Luke 18:10. Often the place to or into which the ascent is made is not mentioned, but is easily understood from the context: Acts 8:31 (into the chariot); Mark 15:8 (to the palace of the governor, according to the reading ἀναβάς restored by L T Tr text WH for R G ἀναβοήσας), etc.; or the place alone is mentioned from which (ἀπό, ἐκ) the ascent is made: Matthew 3:16; Acts 8:39; Revelation 11:7.

b. in a wider sense of things rising up, to rise, mount, be borne up, spring up: of a fish swimming up, Matthew 17:27; of smoke rising up, Revelation 8:4; Revelation 9:2; of plants springing up from the ground, Matthew 13:7; Mark 4:7, 32 (as in Greek writings; Theophrastus, hist. plant. 8, 3, and Hebrew עָלָה); of things which come up in one's mind (Latinsuboriri): ἀναβαίνειν ... ἐπί τήν καρδίαν or ἐν τῇ καρδία, Luke 24:38; 1 Corinthians 2:9; Acts 7:23 (ἀνέβη ἐπί τήν καρδίαν it came into his mind i. e. he resolved, followed by an infinitive), after the Hebrew אֶל־לֵב עָלָה, Jeremiah 3:16, etc. (Buttmann, 135 (118)). Of messages, prayers, deeds, brought up or reported to one in a higher place: Acts 10:4; Acts 21:31 (tidings came up to the tribune of the cohort, who dwelt in the tower Antonia). (Compare: προσαναβαίνω, συναναβαίνω).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Wilcken (Archiv v. p. 268), commenting on POxy VI. 898.9, 15 (A.D. 123) εἰς Ὄασιν καταβῆναι —ἀναβάντα εἰς τὸν Ὀξυρυγχείτην, notes that this may either be literal or refer to Oxyrhynchus as the county town : ἀναβαίνειν εἰς πόλιν, καταβαίνειν εἰς κώμην. P Par 49 (B.C. 164–58) gives us instances of the verb as used in NT for ";going up"; to the Temple : l..32 οὐκ ἔχω σχολὴν ἀναβῆναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς (sc. the recluses in the Serapeum), ib. .34 ἐὰν ἀναβῶ κἀγὼ προσκυνῆσαι. So P Par 47.19 f. (c. B.C. 153) ὁ στρατηγὸς ἀναβαίνει αὔριον εἰς τὸ Σαραπιῆν. Witkowski (.2 p. 72) remarks that the Serapeum was situated above the town, so that the verb was appropriate, as in Luke 18:10. The common phrase ἀ. εἰς Ἰεροσόλυμα, etc., may be illustrated from P Lond 1170 verso.46 (A.D. 258–9), (= III. p. 194), where an account of labourers ";off work"; (ἀργησάντων) describes one as ἀναβὰς εἰς τὴν πόλιν and another ἀναβὰς ἐπὶ τῆς πό l. The same meaning, or something near it, may be seen recurring in P Oxy VIII. 1157 (late iii/A.D.), as .25 ἀντίγραψον κἀγὼ ἀναβαίνω καὶ ἀπογράφομαι, ib. .7 ἐπιδὴ οὖν οὐ δύναμαι ἀναβῆναι ἴδε ἠ (l. εἰ) δύνῃ ἡμᾶς ἀπογράψε : we should use ";come up"; in the same connotation. So ib. VI. 935.13 (iii/A.D.) ἔμελλον δ [ὲ ] καὶ α ̣[ὐτὸ ]ς ̣ ἀναβῆναι, BGU IV. 1097.3 (i/A.D.) ἠὰν δὲ ὁ ἀντ ̣ι ̣δικ ̣ο ̣ς ̣ ἀναβῇ, π ̣ερ ̣ίβλεπ ̣ε ̣ αὐτόν. In ib. 1141.33 (late i/B.C.) ἡμέρας δὲ ἐν αἷς ἀναβαίνωι, εὑρίσ ̣κ ̣ω ̣ι ̣ αὐτὸν καθήμενο (ν) it perhaps means ";go upstairs."; In P Petr II. 9 (3).8 (iii/B.C.) πλήρωμα ἀναβέβηκεν is ";the gang has gone away."; Cf. MGr ἀνεβαίνω.

For the substantive cf. P Grenf II. 67.15 f. (A.D. 237) (= Selections, p. 109) where three asses are provided ὑπὲρ καταβάσεως καὶ ἀναβάσεως, ";for the conveyance down and up again"; of dancing girls for a village festival. Ἀνάβασις is common in the papyri and the inscriptions of the ";rising"; of the Nile, e.g. BGU I. 12.4 (A.D. 181–2) [τῆς τοῦ ] ἱερωτάτου Νείλου ἐπ᾽ ἀγαθῷ ἀναβάσεως, OGIS 666 (c. A.D. 55) ἡ Αἴγυπτος, τὰς τοῦ Νείλου δωρεὰς ἐπαυξομένας κατ᾽ ἔτος θεωροῦσα, νῦν μᾶλλον ἀπέλαυσε τῆς δικαίας ἀναβάσεως τοῦ θεοῦ, where Dittenberger draws attention to the fact that δικαία ἀνάβασις is a ";solenne vocabulum"; in this connexion. So in the papyri, BGU IV. 1208.17 (B.C. 27) τ ]ὴν ἀποτομίαν (see s.v.) τῆς ἀναβάσεως. There are some other instances in Meyer’s note on P Giss I. 37, intro. n.3. In Cagnat III. 975 (? i/A.D.) ἀ. is part of a house : τὴν ἀ. ταύτην σὺν τῇ ἁψεῖδι.
