ἀντικρύ G0481
opposite, over against, directly across from
This adverb (used as preposition with genitive) means directly opposite or right across from something. Luke uses it in Acts 20:15 to describe the ship sailing 'opposite Chios.' Classical usage established this as a nautical and geographical term for locations directly across from each other. The term combines directness (right/straight) with opposition (facing). Spanish 'frente-a' (in front of), French 'en-face-de' (facing), and German preservation of the Greek all indicate the spatial relationship of being directly across from.

1. sense 1 — Opposite, directly across from (Acts 20:15). Luke's travel narrative notes the ship anchored 'opposite Chios'—that is, at a location directly across from the island. Classical nautical usage confirms this as technical vocabulary for navigation and geography. The term emphasizes the direct spatial relationship—not merely near but precisely positioned across from. The multilingual evidence for 'opposite/in front of/facing' shows clear consensus on the spatial meaning. This is part of Luke's careful documentation of Paul's journey to Jerusalem. 1×
