Strong's Lexicon kagó: and I, I also Original Word: καγώ Word Origin: A compound of καί (G2532) and ἐγώ (G1473) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek conjunction "καγώ," similar expressions of personal involvement or emphasis can be found in Hebrew conjunctions like "וַאֲנִי" (wa'ani), meaning "and I." Usage: The Greek conjunction "καγώ" is used to express a connection or addition, often translated as "and I" or "I also." It is employed to emphasize the speaker's involvement or agreement in a statement or action. This term is frequently used in the New Testament to highlight personal participation or to draw a parallel between the speaker and another subject. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire, conjunctions like "καγώ" were essential for constructing complex sentences and expressing nuanced relationships between ideas. The use of "καγώ" in the New Testament reflects the personal and communal aspects of early Christian teachings, where individual believers often identified themselves with the actions and beliefs of the community.
