προϋπ-άρχω G4391
to exist previously, be already present, or have been beforehand
A verb denoting prior existence or earlier state. In Luke 23:12, Luke notes that Herod and Pilate had previously been at enmity with each other (before collaborating in Jesus' trial). In Acts 8:9, Luke introduces Simon Magus, who had previously been practicing sorcery in Samaria and amazing the people. The term sets up a contrast—highlighting what was true before a significant change occurred.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The glosses ('existed before,' 'anteriormente existían,' 'exister avant') emphasize prior state. Luke 23:12 contrasts Herod and Pilate's former hostility with their newfound alliance (united in opposing Jesus). Acts 8:9 describes Simon's earlier sorcery career before Philip's gospel arrival. Both passages use the verb to establish a 'before' that makes the subsequent 'after' more striking. 2×
