What Original Readers Understood
ExploredThe Greek term ἐπαυτόφωρος (epautophōros) primarily means "in the very act" or possibly "in the very deed". This meaning is inferred from the compound construction of the word, which likely consists of prefixes επ-' (epi- or possibly epi- as a form of εὖ or εὐ or 'very') and'autophōros. The term appears to suggest action or event occurring in real-time or simultaneously. Its usage is singular in the Bible.
