Going (get, go their way, go away, goes, went) (5217)(Hupago from hupo = under or denoting secrecy + ago = to go) means literally to lead under or to bring under and is used in this sense only once in the only use in the Septuagint/Lxx in Ex 14:21 (to translate "swept...back" - caused to recede). Most commonly hupago means to go, to go away, to withdraw one's self (e.g., of Jesus' departure from the world (Jn 8:14, etc). Hupago has the notion of withdrawing. The idea of hupago is not so much of preceding to a definite point, but of leaving the present scene. In other words, it often means 'to go', with the implication of going in a certain direction, as to the house of Jairus (Lk 8:42). Most of the uses of hupago are used without a direct object. In other words,; the "where" of the going is not specifically stated and is usually understood from the context. Hupago is used most often in the Gospels (70x) and is frequently (36x) used as a command (present imperative) calling for for one to continually go (go away, depart), most of these commands being issued by Jesus. These uses by our Lord testify to His authority of Christ = over physical illness (Mt 8:13); directing His followers on mission (Lk 10:3); directing the disciples with details for His triumphal entry (Mark 11:2); Satan (or demons) to go (be gone, go away). (Mt 4:10, 8:32, 16:23, Lk 11:8). It is notable that Jesus does not need to engage in a "power struggle" over the demonic forces, usually commanding them to with this one verb hupago! Go! Mounce - hupago means "to go" in the sense of departing (Mt 4:10, "Away from me, Satan!") or accompanying (Mt 5:41, "Go with him two miles"). It is used figuratively to refer to dying (Mt 26:24, "The Son of Man will go just as it is written") or to an outward sign of conversion (Jn 12:11, "Many of the Jews were going over to Jesus") The phrase, "Get behind me" (Mk 8:33) may reflect the Hebrew idea of both contempt and rejection. Going and bearing fruit are also a part of what it means to be chosen by God (Jn 15:16, "I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit."). Jesus uses the verb often in the gospel of John to refer to "where he is going," namely, to his Father in heaven (Jn 8:14; 13:3; 14:4-5, 28). (Mounce's complete expository dictionary of Old & New Testament words) Louw-Nida - Hupago means to lead (oneself) under, i.e. withdraw or retire (as if sinking out of sight), lit. or fig.:- depart, get hence, go (a-) way. Wuest - Hupago is used of the final departure of one who ceases to be another's companion or attendant. Zodhiates - In the NT and later (hupago) was used intrans. or with heautón (reflexive pronoun - of himself, herself or itself) meaning to go away, particularly under cover, out of sight, with stealth. John used hupago especially to describe Jesus going - eg, presumably to the Cross in Mt 26:24 and returning to His Father in heaven, an important theme in John's Gospel. Jesus teaches that His time with the Jews is brief, and that He will go back to where He came from, to His Father. (Jn 13:3, 33, 36 Jn 14:4, 5,28, Jn 16:5, 10, 17) In John 6:67 hupago conveys the idea of leaving Jesus, going away from Him (no longer following Him). In this later usage, hupago in a sense alludes to Jesus' Ascension. Jesus' going to the Father is a vital part of John's message for it was from the Father that He had been sent on "mission," so that through Him access to the Father is could be made available (Jn 14:6). Vine - Hupago = to go away or to go slowly away, to depart, withdraw oneself, often with the idea of going without noise or notice. Translated "depart" in Jas. 2:16, kjv, primarily and literally hupago meant "to lead under" (hupo = "under"); in its later use, it implied a "going," without noise or notice, or by stealth. In James 2:16 the idea is perhaps that of a polite dismissal, "Go your ways. Robertson comments on John's use of 3 words that refer to going - poreuomai = go for a purpose, aperchomai = , to go away, hupago = to withdraw personally).

Il., 24, 279 etc., "to lead from under," e.g., out of range, "to lead someone somewhere," before a court, Hdt., IX, 93, 3, "to bring, seduce, lead astray to something,".

In Epictetus we often find it before another imperative, in many cases with an ironical ring: "Go, persuade someone else," Epict. Diss., III, 23, 12, "Go rather ." III, 22, 108 etc. In the pap. it often means "to go away," "to go on a journey," P. Oxy., X, 1291, 11 (30 a.d.), "to journey to," Preisigke Sammelbuch, 1, 998, 2 (16/17 a.d.), "to go to" someone, P.
