1. properly [A. V. ordinarily, to bring];
a. to lead by laying hold of, and in this way to bring to the point of destination: of an animal, Matthew 21:7; Luke 19:35; Mark 11:7 (T Tr WH φέρουσιν); [Luke 19:30]; τινά followed by εἰς with the accusative of place, Luke 4:9 [others refer this to 2 c.]; Luke 10:34; (ἤγαγον καί εἰσήγαγον εἰς, Luke 22:54); John 18:28; Acts 6:12; Acts 9:2; Acts 17:5 [R G]; Acts 21:34; 22:5,24 Rec.; Acts 23:10,31; ἐπί with the accusative, Acts 17:19; ἕως, Luke 4:29; πρός τινα, to persons, Luke (Luke 4:40); Luke 18:40; Acts 9:27; John 8:3 [Rec.].

Buttmann, 284 (244)] (1 Macc. 7:2 ἄγειν αὐτοὺς αὐτῷ).
c. to lead with oneself, attach to oneself as an attendant: τινά, 2 Timothy 4:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:14 (Josephus, Antiquities 10, 9, 6 ἀπῆρεν εἰς τὴν Αἴγυπτον ἄγων καὶ Ἱερεμίαν). Some refer Acts 21:16 to this head, resolving it ἄγοντες Μνάσωνα παῤ ᾧ ξενισθῶμεν, but incorrectly, see Winers Grammar [and Buttmann] as above.
d. to conduct, bring: τινά [Luke 19:27]; John 7:45; [John 19:4, 13]; Acts 5:21, 26, [Acts 5:27]; Acts 19:37; 20:12; 25:6, 23; πῶλον, Mark 11:2 (where T Tr WH φέρετε); [Luke 19:30, see a. above]; τινά τινι or τί τινι, Matthew 21:2; Acts 13:23 G L T Tr WH.

2. tropically,
a. to lead, guide, direct: John 10:16; εἰς μετάνοιαν, Romans 2:4.
b. to lead through, conduct, to something, become the author of good or of evil to some one: εἰς δόξαν, Hebrews 2:10 (εἰς [others, ἐπὶ] καλοκἀγαθίαν, Xenophon, mem. 1, 6, 14; εἰς δουλείαν, Demosthenes, p. 213, 28).

3. to pass a day, keep or celebrate a feast, etc.: τρίτην ἡμέραν ἄγει namely, ὁ Ἰσραήλ, Luke 24:21 [others (see Meyer) supply αὐτός or ὁ Ἰησοῦς; still others take ἄγει as impersonal, one passes, Vulg. tertia dies est; see Buttmann, 134 (118)]; γενεσίων ἀγομένων, Matthew 14:6 R G; ἀγοραῖοι (which see, 2), Acts 19:38; often in the O. T. Apocrypha (cf. Wahl, Claris Apocr. under the word ἄγω, 3), in Herodotus and Attic writers.
4. intransitive, to go, depart (Winers Grammar, § 38, 1, p. 251 (236); [Buttmann, 144 (126)]): ἄγωμεν let us go, Matthew 26:46; Mark 14:42; John 14:31; πρός τινα, John 11:15; εἰς with the accusative of place, Mark 1:38; John 11:7 (Epictetus diss. 3, 22, 55 ἄγωμεν, ἐπἰ τὸν ἀνθύπατον); [followed by ἵνα, John 11:16.
