Meeting the Anti

Strongs Greek NT #5221, ὑπήντησαν. hupantaó. Strong's Exhaustive Concordance: "meet From hupo and a derivative of anti; to go opposite (meet) under (quietly), i.e. To encounter, fall in with -- (go to) meet."

The word "ὑπαντάω" (hypantáō) in ancient Greek means "to meet" or "to encounter." It is derived from the prefix "ὑπο-" (hypo-), meaning "under," and the verb "ἀνταναίνω" (antanaínō), meaning "to meet face to face." So, "ὑπαντάω" carries the sense of meeting someone or something, especially face to face or unexpectedly.
