  • G3326 — μετά (metá, met-ah'): a primary preposition (often used adverbially); properly, denoting accompaniment; "amid" (local or causal); modified variously according to the case (genitive association, or accusative succession) with which it is joined; occupying an intermediate position between ἀπό (apó) G575 or ἐκ (ek) G1537 and εἰς (eis) G1519 or πρός (prós) G4314; less intimate than ἐν (en) G1722 and less close than σύν (sýn) G4862); after(-ward), X that he again, against, among, X and, + follow, hence, hereafter, in, of, (up-)on, + our, X and setting, since, (un-)to, + together, when, with (+ -out).
